I say this is outright theft. What say you guys?
-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.
