In a rebuy, the key concept is "spend money to make money." The idea is to gamble like crazy during the rebuy period with the goal of having a giant stack after the add-on. Rebuy the minute you take your seat. Rebuy every time you have 1500 or fewer chips. Double rebuy every time you go broke. Take the add-on unless you have > 10% of the total chips in play.
That being said. Pay attention to who is doing what at your table. If most of the table is playing like its a freeze-out, you must become the rebuy maniac. If there are 2 or more rebuy maniacs at the table, you can often hide in the bushes and call their pushes with better than average hands - 99+, 87s+, Q7+. After the break it becomes deep-stacked NLHE.
Turbo-rebuys are like this with the added aspect of becoming pure preflop games after the break. You will have to push with and A, any 2 paint, any pair. You will call pushes with 88+, AT+, any 2 paint.
