Mail-in Rebate is a Common Economy Joker that gives $5 for every card discarded of a certain rank. The rank changes every round, choosing from a random rank in the player's deck (this chooses more common ranks in the deck more often).
Synergies[]
Decks[]
Red Deck grants an extra discard, allowing more cards of the selected rank to be discarded.- Painted Deck allows the player to have more cards in hand, letting the player discard more cards without sacrificing good hands.
- Black Deck can more easily take Mail-In Rebate, as it has more Joker slots, and it is recommended to discard more with Black Deck more anyway, as the player must play better hands to compensate for having fewer hands. Black Deck can also hold more Jokers that help with discarding, like Drunkard.
Poker Hands[]
Hands that need fewer cards are better if the player has less hand size, like Three of a Kind, which allows them to discard 5 cards if they have the default hand size. For this reason, Straight, Flush, and Full House are less valuable with Rebate.
However, Five of a Kind and Flush Five are sometimes better in highly centralized decks, as with more of that rank, Mail-In Rebate will likely choose that rank, and discarding them will be fine, as the player is more likely to draw more to form a Five of a Kind still.
Jokers[]
Jokers that add more discards work great with Mail-In Rebate, those being 
Drunkard and 
Merry Andy. Is is recommended to be cautious with Merry Andy, though, as the lowered hand size can sometimes end up with the player discarding fewer cards by virtue of wanting to save a strong poker hand.
Jokers that give an effect when discarding, like 
Castle, 
Faceless Joker, and 
Hit the Road, synergize well with Mail-In Rebate, as the player can use them to get even more value out of discards.
Brainstorm and 
Blueprint can copy the money generation effect, then copy a different Joker's effect for scoring hands, effectively allowing the player to double Mail-In Rebate's effect for free.
Sixth Sense and 
DNA usually work well with Rebate, as the player will want to discard to find the card desired to play the first hand. DNA particularly works well, as by adding more cards of the same rank, the chance of Rebate selecting that rank is higher.
Blinds[]
