Adobe PhotoShop Elements $39.99 after 2 rebates - 1 upgrade - DEAL CHANGED from 3 rebates to 2 BY AMAZON

[JJordan]

EDIT:As of today (2-28-02) there are only 2 rebates listed making the cost $39.99 after 2 rebates ($29.99 if you use the coupon). With a coupon and a price match, it is still a good deal for me, so I think I will not CANCEL my order that has still not shipped, but beware of the three rebates. And whoever has a printout of the Product Page page showing three rebates and a $9.99 cost, if you will e-mail it to me I will post it for anyone that needs or wants it. E-Mail it to me at jeffj@kscable.com.


Amazon has Adobe PhotoShop Elements for 99.99 with $90 in rebates and free shipping. Two rebates are if you own other qualifying photo software but MANY people will own one of the competitor brands like MGI PhotoSuite, Microsoft PictureIt, Adobe PhotoShop LE, Adobe Photo Deluxe, ArcSoft PhotoSuite, Corel Photo-Paint, Ulead PhotoImpct and PhotoExpress). Buy the software with your Amex Blue Card and PM to Buy.Com's $78.95 price to get $21 back for a profit after reabtes.

Buy.Com Link

If you don't have Amex Blue, you can still get it for free using a $10 off $75 coupon found elsewhere

(Deal Ripped and Revised from FW.com - coupon hint)


My GUESS (only a wild guess) is that Adobe is running all these specials on Elements v. 1.0 because they are going to upgrade it to version "something higher than 1.0", but I bet if that happens and you already own v. 1.0 that you got for free, Adobe will have upgrade specials on the newer software version.

can you break down the $90 in rebates, i only see $30 rebate for previous adobe owners.. maybe i'm missing it, thanks

 

[JJordan]

There are three rebates listed on Amazon's site through the link for the product HERE. One $30 is from Adobe and requires the Original UPC. The other 2 are $30 each and go to Amazon and require Copies of UPC. Hope that helps.

Could someone please e-mail me the $10 off $75 coupon code. I couldn't find it on FW (or anywhere else).

Thanks!

Thanx JJordan. That $10 coupon works -- and free is good!

 

[worms]

I'd sure like that $10 coupon too. What site is it on?

 

[madalien]

JJordan, I could not find the $10 off coupon on FW either. Please PM me or give a better hint. I don't mind the hunt, but maybe the clues are too obscure?

 

[descent]

I just got in on this (THANKS JJordan!) and the coupon hint is accurate, though you really need to SEARCH for it on some part of their site that isn't necessarily the front page.

BTW,
I am really new here and I don't understand what is taboo about posting codes. Can someone enlighten me?

[IamAddicted]

Can someone pm the coupon for $10 off to me. I would like to get this deal ...Thanks

Got it! Thanks, JJordan

 

[JJordan]

fo to www.fat wallet.com (without the space) and then to the hot deals forum and type in Amazon in teh search -- it will pull up several threads, one of which is titled $10 off $75 at Amazon.

 

[Pyramor]

Boy, with all these cheap camera deals floating around, I would have thought this would have generated more interest. Possibly the best imaging program out there for 95% of photo buffs.

 

[NauTiKa128]

Does an OEM version of PhotoSuite count?? (as the competitive software) Can I just give them the OEM #?

 

[JJordan]

I think if you print out the rebate forms, the proof of prior ownership is a serial number from the product -- My copies are at work. I assume yours will have a serial number and if it is one of the types listed, I don't know why it would not work.

Price match Photoshop Elements at Outpost.com for $69.99 and price match Paint Shop Pro 7.0 Aniv. at ShopHarmony.com for $79.99.

Hi,
I DO have printouts of all three rebates which were offered yesterday, but I just called Amazon and they said
'as long as the orders were placed yesterday when the offer was still valid, the rebates would be honored'
I asked (of course) if their rebate center would know when an order was placed, and she replied yes, it was in their system.
So. anyone have any comments on this or whether they would still honor both (of the amazon ones)?

 

[JJordan]

Here is a Link to a screen shot of the rebate page listing 3 rebates. Amazon 3 $30 Rebates in case you did not get one printed out on this deal.

<< 'as long as the orders were placed yesterday when the offer was still valid, the rebates would be honored' >>


Doh! I promptly canceled my order before seeing this post...
Oh well, I was not looking to buy it anyway.

 

[JDJr]

I emailed Amazon about this problem and they just emailed me instructions on how to return my order.
What a rip.

Does anyone know if the manufacturer upgrade rebate could be used on the version you get from an educational software site? I guess it wouldn't work if it were different packaging but what if it's the same? journeyed.com has it for $50, so minus $30 would make it $20.

 

[TeacherTim]

I got in on this deal before it went to the $9.99 price, but used some Vividence gift certificates, so I got a good deal on it. So, I called the 877-220-5365 number on the Adobe rebate to make sure that my version of Photoshop 3.0 Home Edition that came with my scanner would be compatible with the rebate. He said it was, then confirmed to me the mailing address for the rebate. Turns out that Adobe has changed the mailing address on their rebate. The new address is:
1271 Washington Avenue
PMG834
San Leandro, CA 94577
He told me that rebates sent to the original Austin, TX address would get there, but it would take about a week longer. Plus, he went ahead and preregistered my rebate, which he said should speed up the process when my rebate does finally make it there! Great call...just had to wait on hold for about 10 minutes.

Though you folks would like to know!

I have left mine on order because I want it even with 2 rebates (an AmEX PM will get it down to arond $10). But my order is just sitting there and says it will not ship until March 11 or 12........... Hum.

 

[Freebie Hawk]

Thanks for the info.

I sent an email asking about the third coupon and they replied it was a mistake, but they would credit my CC the $30. Customer service as it should be!

Hello from Amazon.com.

I've researched your order for the Adobe Photoshop Elements 1.0 and found
that there was an erroneous rebate listed at the time that your order was
placed.

There were two Amazon.com rebates and a upgrade rebate from the
manufacturer. As I cannot honor the erroneous rebate, I've requested a
refund of $30.00 to your credit card. This refund should go through
within the next few days and will appear as a credit on your next credit
card billing statement.

You may also view returns and refunds by clicking the "Your Account"
link at the top of our web site. Click "Go!" next to "Open and
recently shipped orders" and then click "View order" next to the
relevant order. Completed returns and refunds will appear at the
bottom of the order summary page.

You will need to mail in the other Amazon.com rebate and the upgrade
rebate from the manufacturer and follow the restrictions for the offer. I
hope that this is a satisfactory resolution for you.

I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. Please don't hesitate
to contact us if you should have further questions or concerns. Thank
you for shopping with Amazon.com.

Jeez I hate rebates.

Thanx for the alert and potential solution logrus9. I will post any results I get from my email to AMZN.

 

[emjem]

Isn't this a crock O crap?



<< Thank you for writing to us at Amazon.com with your question.

Please note the two rebates that were listed were exactly the same offer.
Therefore, one rebate offer has been removed. It is never our intent to
mislead or misadvertise a manufacturer's rebate; that's why we provide a
copy of the coupon on our site for viewing purposes.

We recommend the fine print always be read before purchasing to verify
your order would qualify for any rebate offer. Therefore, we will not be
able to refund your credit card for the rebate amount.

I am very sorry for any confusion this may have caused. Feel free to
contact us with any further questions or concerns. Thank you for shopping
at Amazon.com.


Best regards,

Michele Thiel
