Using a relatives name and address to receive the Castrol Edge or Pennzoil Platinum mega-rebates going on right now.
I say this is outright theft. What say you guys?

To me, it's not theft, it's simply more trouble than I'd go to, for such a small $ amount.

Appreciate the honesty.

+1, but tempting.

Frankly this is why I posted this. I was extremely tempted to do this. It feels very victimless, but ultimately it didn't pass my conscience test.

As long as the relative knows, I would not have any objection to it.
Is this stealing? They allow 2 per household. Two seperate purchases are made 3 days apart both sent in, only one recorded? The stealing works both ways.
not theft!
Dishonest perhaps, but not stealing, IMO, provided the second address does exist and people live there. A lot of grey areas. Half the people here who do this probably change the oil for the people at the second address, and then of course not.
Thanks for the all the very honest replies. It was nice to see what others think about this issue.
I change the oil in my parents cars....So to my way of thinking, if the oil is for their vehicles and I use their address....No harm, no foul.

-1. Not theft.
If I buy the oil and mail the rebate, and my Mom buys the oil and sends in the rebate, we've both bought product. Now in my particular case, my Mom will never, ever, buy her own oil. So my buying it in her place and mailing her the rebate causes harm to who? Castrol or Pennzoil will not have a sale out of her, where in this case, they have an extra sale via proxy. They may not be making as much off the sale, but they're making money on a sale that they wouldn't have otherwise.
