So Mail-In rebates

  So I have to wait till I get the product
  Then send the rebate with the proof of purchase and receipt?
  
  I just bought this and I noticed that it said "Receive a $30 prepaid card by mail from Antec! Expires on 1/12/14."
  so do I have to print it by 1/12/14 or send it ;-; ?
  
  My computer case relies on this rebate.

  Mail in Rebates are purely evil :/
  
  They're designed in such a way to make it difficult to get a good deal from it. I almost always end up never doing it.
  
  As for your question, it's up to the company how they choose to interpret it. They could say, "Oh sorry, we didn't get it by the 12th so no rebate for you."

  This is what I do. I kind of laugh at people who rely on those for savings.
  Rebates also prevent you from returning a product for a refund if it's defective (though you should be able to exchange it), IIRC.

  I usually don't, but I'm on a tight budget

  Well warranty still holds up and that's the only thing I care about.
  It's a rebranded SeaSonic so I shouldn't have issues.
