I don't think you have a leg to stand on, but I think they're being stupid in not making it clear up front that you have to buy the tripod to get the rebate. As it stands theyre probably annoying a few potential buyers, which can never be good business.
my thoughts exactly; what you are seeing is a fairly common usability problem when there are special terms to a deal -- these terms are usually not laid out in full until you get to the fine print, so you should always get to the fine print (i often review terms of service, etc. on sales websites to to make sure i understand return policies); note there is also a claim of "free shipping", but there is fine print for that too, though it is only one click away; i think there should be something like "(see rebate form for complete terms)" on the first page, and probably also a direct link to the rebate form there
my general position is that rebates suck; i endeavor to ignore the small rebates and only consider large rebate deals with extreme care
