With a rebate this big, I would photocopy everything before you sent in the rebate. I don't think Tigerdirect will cover the rebate if you have issues with it. I know from experience Newegg customer service will give you money for rebates if you have issues though.

Regarding the rebate company that is processing this, I have done a few rebates through them and they all go through. Usually I send in the rebate, then a few weeks later I get scanned copy of the rebate for confirmation, and the check/rebate card comes in 2 months later.
