MidwestMama Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Duh! I missed it, I had 4 of the Polaroid tablets to send in the $30 rebate for (so $120) I didn't realize they were to be postmarked by Today & its a Sunday so I can't anyway. I didn't cut the upc off as they're xmas gifts. Why did they give them a rebate date of 12/23?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeddiva Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I m guessing they did it so either a) you cut the UPC off so you can't return it or you never send in the rebates & they get your $. Either way, the store wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpr Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 30 days is the average for most rebates. If you get longer, then you are getting a 'bonus', lol. Also, stores plan on rebates because most people don't send them (case in point). I always send my rebates within a week and then make sure I follow through. Also, make copies of everything in case they lose it (I've had to do that before). You can try to send it in, but it may come back rejected. There may be a phone number to call and explain (it never hurts to try). Good Luck with getting it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkrbel Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I mailed a JCPenney rebate a day late last year (similar date issue I think and lazyness) and got my $ back. you may want to try it IF they're gifts or you don't want to return and can cut upc's.

DiamondGal Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 It won't hurt to try it after the cut off date, but you have to return the UPC symbols from the packages either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestMama Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 I am returning 3 of the 4. I don't want them for $70 & they were Santa presents and someone told one of my boys I got them all tablets & he told the other boys. So I can't give them from Santa. I will try sending in the one that I keep as I've got nothing to lose. I tried calling their number, but they're closed for the holidays. Now to go emergency shopping for Santa gifts. I'm so frustrated, I had Santa done & didn't give it a second thought for a month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
