Basically, you pay full price at the till, then you have to send your receipt 
off to the company and ideally they send you the cheque for the rebate amount.

Apparently they try every trick in the book to get you to give up on claiming 
the rebate... "We lost your application", "it wasn't bought on the day of a 
full moon", "please wait at least 52 weeks for delivery of your cheque"...
