Gurnee Al Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 I was just looking through the Sears July 4th sale ad, and noticed that they have a few MIR offers. In fine print below those ads, it mentions that the MIR is an Instant Rebate in CT. Anyone live in CT and/or know why??
Guest mldepalma Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 I live in CT, but I have no idea why a MIR would be an IR in CT. If I get to Sears, I can ask for you... It is afterhours now, but if I think of it, I can call tomorrow and ask... Seems a little odd to me. (Not that I am complaining since I live in CT and would get the instant rebate...) Do you live near CT to be able to shop here and then take it home? (You can remind me tomorrow to call... just PM me)
Gurnee Al Posted June 28, 2006 Author Posted June 28, 2006 I'm in Illinois, but just curious. Apparently, the Sears sale ad is a National ad. I'll be curious to see if anyone else here knows or what you find out tomorrow.
Stowasser Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 I bet CT has a statue about mail in rebates, maybe they have gotten so many complaints that stores that offer it must do instant rebates. I don't understand why Sears doesn't just do free shipping etc instead of the mail in. I guess alot of people don't bother with sending in the rebates.
able Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 i dont know but last year bf was awesome cause sears had to give it as final price in the flyer(the fllyer said final price 19.99 and they meant after the mir and then they had to sell them for that price...i snet for the mir and got it too:) i wonder if it has to do with the same idea as that. i live in CT. so im not complaining.lol
able Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 i dont see any 4th of july sale there. do you have a link to the july 4th ad?

They can see the address, you would think they would check the final price etc. I have been rejected on MIR for items that I knew was included, they just wanted to make it hard and not honor it.
Gurnee Al Posted June 28, 2006 Author Posted June 28, 2006 i dont see any 4th of july sale there. do you have a link to the july 4th ad?It was an insert in my local newspaper. http://www.rilin.state.ri.us/leg_press/2002/march/iwuc%20rebates.htmIt's been like this for years! I don't think I've ever seen anyone else advertise MIRs as IRs in CT. I wonder if this is for B&M merchants only. Apparently other merchants don't put this in their ads.
able Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 we can mail in rebates here.. and i recall something on the news last year about the sears flyer. i honestly thought it was done intentional to get the ad out there .you know the opps that really isnt an opps
conj Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 http://www.rilin.state.ri.us/leg_press/2002/march/iwuc%20rebates.htm Oh, I like that! I think I'm sending a copy of that to my local legislator! Although... Rebate processing centers may lobby against the measures :)
