FYI/BE AWARE of Pioneer Rebates

damn, that sucks

One of the reasons I got my Pioneer DDJ from Guitar Center was the free Pioneer HDJ500 headphones rebate that came with it. Got a notification from rebateshq.com yesterday saying they got my rebate and log on to check status. So I do that and to my surprise it says “invalid purchase location”. That’s odd, why would a Guitar Center be an invalid purchase location??? They even had the rebate offer in their ad’s. There is something really shady going on with rebateshq.com

Isnt this false advertising?
Something legally you can do about it?
Pioneers a pretty big arse company, pretty sure they cant get away with scams like this
