What with the hoo-haa over the latest fuel price hike, we did sigh inwardly as rather than having Aidan save us money on fuel consumption, we now pay somewhere about the same to RM10 more for a full tank rather than save RM10. Of course, if we haven't had Aidan, we guess a full tank on the Kembara would be >RM100.
Well one thing to note for was the RM625 fuel rebate. Being the easygoing feller we are we just noted the fact that there was a RM625 rebate.
Did we qualify to redeem. Where to redeem. When to redeem. How to redeem. What documents to bring to redeem.
The first three were soon enough answered:
First we get a call from the dealer who handed us the keys to Aidan, telling us we could get the rebate. Yay car dealer!
Then there was that front page pic in The Star of people swarming the post office somewhere. That answered the where. Yay The Star!
Walking by the post office at Amcorp there's posters pasted with instructions on how to fill in the...Fuel Rebate form. The form turns out to be a Money Order form, and the instructions were clear enough that we had no problems filling in the details. And also pasted on the counter was a sign stating that cars registered from April to May 2008 are to redeem their rebates now in June. So the when and how's answered. Yay post office!
So today we decided to get the rebate thingy over with, and headed back to the post office with filled-up form. Got a number, waited our turn, and then handed in the form. No, we didn't bother finding out if we needed to bring any other documents. Turns out all we need to bring along is our IC. But to complete our 'fuel rebate' form, they needed our left thumbprint.
Bleh. Boo post office!
RM625 to pay our bills and birthday debts. Sigh. And home to scrub the thumb with alcohol.

The rebate can only be claimed in June kah? But I might not have enough time! Boo stupid government.
They are just trying to buy our hearts but temporary measures never work.
But seriously 625 can really buy something for yourself, heh heh.
