The End Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I see from looking at the adscan that several items are listed as being a certain price after an “Easy Rebate". What exactly is this? I’m guessing that it’s just Staples’ term for in instant savings. At least I hope it’s what it is, because I wanna stay away from items that require you to mail in a rebate.

nirvana4all Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 It is online rebate submission. You still have to pay and get rebate $ sent back to you, but instead of mailing it to them and hoping they get it, you just log in, type in the info, and they tell you it is accepted and you can track delivery, etc all right there. Basically non-mail garunteed rebates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The End Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 Ah, I see. Not what I had hoped for, but it's better than mailing the rebate in. Thanks for clearing this up for me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzy-Q Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Ditto to all of the above. You submit them on line, you can see all the stages of the process progress from submission to validation completed, to check being mailed. Out of every retailer I shop from, I have never had a problem getting my EASY rebates. CompUSA on the other hand.....dont even bother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterBill Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 CompUSA on the other hand.....dont even bother!CompUSA is MUCH better about rebates than they used to be. They also have their equivalent of Easy Rebates. I am fairly sure you are talking about several year old experiences with CompUSA and continuing to spread fears about them as a result of that makes no sense.

bazootch Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Rebates are a bad deal for black friday sales. They may be good prices, but many folks don't send in the rebate (or enter them online). Companies that do the rebate promotions only expect a small percentage of the money to be reclaimed. Put it on sale without a rebate? 100% of the funds are claimed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laddhorn Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I did an "Easy Rebate" last year for my 19" monitor. It was easy to put in, but it took almost 6 months to get it back. It also gave me lots of SPAM! I'm not sure if I would do another at Staples just because of those reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you only ever use this e-mail address for the Easy Rebate, or have you used it for this purpose? (or given it out to someone else?) At any rate, you can use http://www.temporaryinbox.com to manage any site that requires you to give an address and you can turn it off at any time.

trustnoonekmc Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I have done staples easy rebates, and also never recieved any spam from them. The online submission was super easy to do. Although it usually takes a while for them to send your check, I have always gotten my rebates. I shop there almost every year on BF and have never had a problem.

packratfamily Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Another fan of the Staples Easy Rebate, if you must use one. This is the only one I will ever bother with anymore. I come home, copy 2 numbers off the receipt (add name addy) and it's done. Always get the $$ in a few weeks, usually before I get the email that they sent it. You can also do more than one rebate at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
