So whats your status with the rebate?

mine (three epics) is sitting on 83%. Appears fulfillment is either random or based on account cycle date
 
83% as of today. Sprint says to allow 8 weeks for fullfillment and, of course, they are going to hold onto their money for the FULL 8 WEEKS. Anyone gone longer than 8 weeks??
 
I picked up my phone on launch day and was just finally charged for it last week. I don't anticipate getting my rebate until a month from now, although I had the activation fee removed from my bill. Gotta love the little things.

Mine is also at 100%, with a date of 11-7-10

but what really upset me was my current bill had a $36 activation fee that wasnt on my first bill. Im calling later on today to see if that can be waived, I dont remember seeing anything about that or being informed about that by the sales rep
 
Got my check today!

Upon opening I went straight to the bank to deposit so I don't forget about it! lol

Check came in mail yesterday. Last time I checked just a few days ago it said 83%!

Sprint has waived that fee for me every single time. If you are a decent customer (which you are at data plan rates if you pay on time) they will definitely waive it. Just call and say the store rep told you it was routinely waived.
 
got check yesterday. mailed it day before deadline. (deadline associated with release day rebate form)
 
My wife's rebate came in this past week. I work a lot as she does also. I found it in the mail that my kids left on my desk. Right on time with my past experiences with Sprint rebates.
 
I know I'm a bit late to the game on this one, but I figured I'd share my two cents anyhow. I got our phones on 11/5, sent the rebate on 11/17 and the site said they received them on 11/22. The check was dated 12/22 and I received my check on 1/3/11. Overall that’s a pretty quick turnaround, much faster, and better, than my experience with T-Mobile, which “never received” one of my rebate forms when I sent two at the same time for my wife and my phones. I’m two months in with Sprint and the Epic and I couldn’t be happier. Love this phone, even if it doesn’t have the latest and greatest OS.
