Don't bother.
Even respectable vendors are not honoring rebates first try these days. I purchased a MBP 13 from MacConnection (deal was posted here), and I sent the rebate in right away. I got the automatic email saying they were processing my rebate; I had to go back to the vendor's site to learn that my warranty was declared ineligible. I called them, and I reached a person who admitted this was a problem, and they would be correcting it sometime within the week.
If it were not for $100, I would not have bothered to check. Which is what the vendors are counting on when they make their deals dependent on rebate processing.
