sperdue Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I'm filling out my rebates today and taking to the post office today before the last pick up. I want my $$ back asap!!
snakeswiff Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I hear that! Need to fill out my Radio shack rebate!!!
kfinto65 Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I'm mailed all my rebates this morning. I had 8 to mail, the other 2 were easy rebates from Staples. I wish all the stores would switch to online rebates. I got those 2 done in minutes! Overall, this was a lite BF for rebates. I had 22 for BF 2004 and 32 for BF 2003. I don't think I like the pattern here.... OM not offering many FAR items really killed me. I guess on the bright side I won't spend a week scanning and filling out rebate forms!
erh12275 Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Don't have any. I had planned on it...but didn't end up w/ those items after all.
KhakiBoy Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I'll probably send mine out on Monday. Want to check all my stuff and make sure it works before I go cutting off the UPC's.
queenofshopping Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 forcing my dad to do it, just gotta stay on him till he does
grapico Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I'll probably send mine out on Monday. Want to check all my stuff and make sure it works before I go cutting off the UPC's.ditto, plus i have about 30 rebates to send.
fairydustcrissy Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 My 1 rebate is ready to mail, but the mail has already run. If I go out I will drop it at athe PO, if not, it will wait till monday.
scarface Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 i have a question about rebates. What if there is 2 rebates for one item and they want the original upc for each rebate? Do you just send both rebates in one envelope with the upc in it? Er nm they dont have the same address on them. So what do you do then? Thanks for the help,

Do you just send both rebates in one envelope with the upc in it? Er nm they dont have the same address on them. So what do you do then? Thanks for the help,Read the instructions carefully. One of the forms should say a copy of the upc is ok. There's no way they can expect you to sent one original upc to 2 locations.
Tbasket Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I did one of the Best Buy rebates online, which was great. Wish all rebates were that easy. Then put 2 more in the mail today. Have one item that I purchased for someone else so I am going to let him deal with his own rebate.
angel-too Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I refused to buy anything with MIR. Takes too long to get money back. I bought a flip phone back in august, put out close to $250 for a $99 phone. Still waiting for my $$$$$$$$!
Wontpayretail23 Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I'm mad as hell at Best Buy over these rebates! NEVER AGAIN! I bought 3 items yesterday with rebates totaling over $200. So of course I want those rebates! 2 of the items were the same items and they never said the rebates were one per person and one per household. Well, I'll just have the other one sent to my mom and to her house. I can get over that. But I saw some people loading up on these. They will never get the rebates. Now I bought a 19" Samsung flat screen monitor that had a $60 best buy rebate and two different $30 rebates thru samsung. Reading the two $30 rebates from samsung they won't give you both. So I might loose out $30. But of course the price they post in the sales paper shows you can get all these rebates but you can't. It's one rebate per person per house and can't be combined. What a scam! I called best buy customer service and basicaly said sorry we can't help you they are manufacturers rebates and we can't help you with those.
fairydustcrissy Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Sears is great about rebate reciepts, but....the rebate has to be PM by 12-9-05. That stinks. I was hoping to not have to cut it out yet, but oh well. It was for hubby at least. He wont mind. But I would feel akward giving someone else a gift with the UPC cut off. I guess I would also feel akward asking for a UPC once they opened it!

I guess I would also feel akward asking for a UPC once they opened it!That's why I just bought the stuff I wanted myself. I was originally going to ask for them for Christmas, but once I realized how much it involved rebates I decided to just buy them myself. That way I won't have to worry about not getting a rebate b/c it had to be PM by a certain date before Christmas and I didn't even get the item until Christmas.
Mommie2one Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I sent in today, my rebate form for the game of Life and BattleShipt. $3 back from Life and $2 back from Battleship. Paid $7.47 for Life (really $4.47) and $7.88 for Battleship (w/ rebate, really $5.88)
ramona1992 Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I just read my Audiovox Sirius radio rebate - it was free after 2 rebates - the CompUSA one and the Sirius one. With the Sirius one you have to sign up for service with a CC, then they have to make sure you're going to stay with them, then you wait 8-10 weeks for your rebate! I'm glad I wasn't counting on that money any time soon.
Reisch Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Mailed all 6 of mine today. Hopefully I got them in the mailbox before pickup. Mailbox said 3:45PM and I put them in at 3:47 but no USPS Employees were nearby.
outnumbered Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I've never been a big rebate person (normally I need the price to just be that low to begin with or I can't afford to buy it)...most years I just have maybe 1 or 2 rebates. This year, none.
Tara3117 Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I mailed my 8 rebates today. I got the $3 wireless router and 3 $3 adapters from CompUSA. It was a pain though because they rang up 3 notebook adapters instead of 2 notebook and 1 desktop adapters. And they didn't give me a separate receipt for the 2nd notebook adapter because it's one per household. So I had to take my order back so they could ring in the right adapter and give me a 2nd receipt. Nothing like fronting $160 because of rebates!! Nevermind the other thing I bought there that was actually a gift. I can't cut the UPC off the gift, so I hope I remember to ask for the UPC after Christmas. At least it's only my boyfriend's gift, so he won't think I'm cheap for wanting the rebate. $20 is a lot of money!
Guest general41391 Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I did not buy anything this year that had a rebate..well I basically did not buy anything!
mackeeg Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I sent out 10 today and have two left, I ran out of stamps:tongue1:
sperdue Posted November 27, 2005 Author Posted November 27, 2005 ...I can't cut the UPC off the gift, so I hope I remember to ask for the UPC after Christmas.

A lot of them must be postmarked w/i 30 days or less.
sperdue Posted November 27, 2005 Author Posted November 27, 2005 I sent out 10 today and have two left, I ran out of stamps:tongue1:LOL! :) I had to go buy stamps for both of mine. I never mail stuff anymore since I pay all my bills on line.
Gumball Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Nope, I went to Walmart & got the things I wanted with no rebates needed.
forsberg Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I did my Staples since it was so easy to do online....but waiting for my shipment from CompUSA.
MrsHoneybee Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 We only have 1 rebate. It's $25 for a digital camera memory card from CC. Will mail it in Monday. :)
