I went through the same thing. The main reason they do the mail in rebate instead of the instant rebate at the store is because a lot of people will no complete the rebate or they will not complete it in time....or they do not complete it correctly and then it expires and now Verizon just made another $100. Beleive me, its a huge profit they make on these mail in rebates. People will forget about them and not want to deal with the hassle.
