If you are unsure how to do these "rebate things yet" because you are young, I would suggest reading the directions listed on the form which you are filling out. As budone has stated, detailed instructions are clearly printed on the form. And after successfully receiving each and every rebate(at least 5, probably more) I have submitted to Verizon without ever having a problem, I can confidently say "IF YOU FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS", you WILL receive your rebate.
