Rebates, Promotions, and You
We have found rebates and promotion fulfillment the single most confusing issue for
customers. Hopefully this information pulls the curtain back to reveal the wizard, so to
speak.
Promotions
Promotions at Speakeasy work like this: You order via a specific website, banner ad, or
use a specific code to order, and you receive (after order closure) the promotional items.
Promotional items can vary, from video cards to free energy beverages. It can take
anywhere from 8-16 weeks from order closure to fulfill promotional orders.
Rebates
Rebates at Speakeasy work like this: You pay for the hardware/installation costs, and
after properly filling out and returning the necessary forms, you receive a check for a
predetermined amount of money. Rebates are NOT off-the-top discounts, and cannot be
credits, refunded, or otherwise processed outside the stated process:
Rebate Programs at Speakeasy
There are generally two types of rebate programs: those sponsored by Speakeasy, and
those sponsored for by a vendor such as Covad or Efficient Networks. For checking on
rebate status, each sponsor has their own website or contact phone number (see
below). The rebate form will provide you details about who is fulfilling the rebate, and
how to contact that party for information.
Speakeasy rebates are administered by the rebate center (GFS): 1-888-859-
