How often do mail-in-rebates go according to plan?

If I purchase a Motorola Razr cellular phone from TMobile's website, can I trust the likelihood of the rebate? Or would you advise against it? (link)
Usually they do, unless something comes up.

For example, on retail merchandise that has been on the shelf for a while, or has been shuffled from store-to-store, the possibilty is rather likely. The rebates don't stay valid indefinitely.

In your situation, I'd say that you are looking at an almost guaranteed deal, especially if you redeem it while the offer is active. Wait too long though, and the promotion drops, and you'll likely end up with a worthless rebate form.

I worked a couple years in retail, and the only time I had to deal with those types of problems was on old, out-of-date merchandise (boxed years before with rebate forms), or people that forgot about them and then tried to use them too late.
