Sears in a time-warp moving backwards

So I bought some stuff at Sears a few weeks ago, that had a 100% rebate. You know me, always in for some free stuff. I actually have used them, though -- two allen wrench sets, one SAE and one metric. Nice. Free.

Anyway, I found that you could submit your rebate form online. Also nice. No hassles with tiny forms, copying receipts, 41 cents to mail, etc. etc. So I did that.

And yesterday, I got an email from Sears:

GEOFF HAZEL,

Thank you for participating in the Sears rebate program! We truly appreciate your business.

Your submission for the Free Companion Socket Set Free after MIR offer has met the requirements as stated on the order form. You should be receiving your request in the mail within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Your tracking id is PKTG-9010-XXXX

Nice. Money is coming.

And then today, one day later, I found another email from Sears:

GEOFF HAZEL,

Thank you for participating in the Sears rebate program! We truly appreciate your business.

Your submission for the Free Companion Socket Set Free after MIR offer has been received and is currently being validated based on the requirements as printed on the rebate form. Your tracking id is PKTG-9010-XXXX

Well it's good to know that they got it, but I'm still wondering what's coming next? It seems like they're in a time warp, moving backwards!
