I received my $10 rebate check from Fugi 50pk CD-R (BestBuy) today after about 45 days from the time I mail the "20 day on-line submission form".

I called about this rebate about a week-ago because the website Link still said New. Fugi-Film CSR had nothing to tell me but to re-submit, I said I would wait a week or two.

BTW I checked the status today and it still says New. Fugi-Film website work in mysterious ways!!!

Sure wish I would get mines. Still have an 18 dollar rebate sent August 10. Four Months ago. Didn't use their website because I didn't know about it, but still. From what I hear, I don't think I'll be doing business with fuji ever again. To make matters worse, I have another 18 dollars from September somewhere, back in the day when I thought fuji was reputable enough to deal with.

I did however get my Cendyne $40 rebate today, sent in 2 1/2 months ago.

What? The TCA Rebate Center in New Rochelle, NY has finally gotten their act together?

On November 4th, 2002, I mailed in a Western Digital rebate to this group. TCA has been known to take a notoriously long time in fulfulling rebates. I sent the rebate information to them via Priority Mail with a delivery confirmation. Today, I received my $100 rebate check! About 7 weeks to get it back - including all of the shipping times. W00T!! Let's just hope that this company keeps up their improved track record.

I contacted Fry's about this on my 80GB offer and was told to send everything in one envelope to the $50 rebate address (but including the $30 coupon inside as well) and thir $50 rebate team would sort it out - she said it was their most frequently asked question on all their Black Friday sales... It sounds like it's identical to the 120GB policy.

The Maxtor 80GB/8 MB Cache HDD from Fry's has only 1 UPC and two rebates both of them manufacturer's rebates requesting the original UPC, and in addition, the two rebates go to different departments. Anyone know how to resolve this or does the HDD box have an UPC hidden somewhere that I haven't found yet?

I am wondering about this too.

For the 120GB it says to "Mail in both completed coupon, original UPC code & clear copy of dated sales receipt to the address listed on the $50 MIR." Don't know if this applies to the 80GB but this is probably what I will do.[/quote]

For the 80GB, it asks for both completed coupons, original UPC, and copy of receipt to two different addresses for the MIR. The box doesn't have two UPCs, so how can I get the rebates?[/quote][/quote]

Regarding these rebate(s). Both my $30 and $50 rebates were applied to the RebatesHQ system this weekend. I mailed them on 12/2/2002. According to their sytem, the checks should be mailed within the next month. I sent the original UPC symbol with the $50 rebate request and a copy with the $30 rebate request. On the $30 rebate request, I sent a note indicating the original UPC was sent in with the $50 rebate offer # xxxxxxx. I guess my note was clear enough for them that they kept the processing moving along.

Got my $30 check from an officemax rebate in october on the hp deskjet 825c. This was the same rebate form/offer as for the epson stylus c40 and lexmark z23 btw, and was an omax rebate not a mfr one, and was handled by young america.

Does anyone have a copy of the ONLINE rebate form for the Rio Volt SP50 MP3 Player sold on the BestBuy.com website back in November? I chose the in-store pick up option, they printed a rebate form for me at the store, I sent everything in, and they denied my rebate because they said I used the WRONG form! I can't believe the run around they are giving me.... so does anyone have a copy of the ONLINE rebate form for the mp3 player? If so, please PM me! Thanks!

 

[Cpaladin]

If you buy online with BB, use online rebate form. If you buy in store with BB, use in store rebate form. While you picked up in store, you initiated this purchase online, so it qualifies as online. Using an online purchase with in store rebabe form or in store receipt with an online rebate form almost always results in a rejection by BB. That's their policy, kinda stupid, but as with all rebates, they typically set up more hoops not less for people to jump thru in order to get the rebate.

I don't have the form though, sorry.

Don't know if it is the squeaky wheel getting the grease or what, but I have emails tonight from REBATESHQ.COM on 3 of my 4 queries stating that checks were cut on 13 December and providing the check numbers. Supposed to have them within 15 days. Waiting for info on the fourth one still...

I keep good records and do followups and except for these 4 I have NEVER failed to get a rebate. I run a couple thousand bucks a year too. Was getting very worried on these but looking a bit better now!

I am VERY happy to report that I have received the 4 $50 rebates on the 32x Cendyne CD-RW'S (different addresses) that I have had outstanding since late July/eary August.

Good record keeping and perseverence pays off again!

Figure this out...

$50 rebate on cendyne 32x12x40 burner bought on 11/29/2002. Mailed following monday, posted as received on 12/20/2002 and as of 12/27/2002 the status indicates that it's fulfilling reward and should receive the check in 10-15 days.

Meanwhile, I have cendyne rebates that have been "processing" since the beginning of november, and a couple verbatim rebates, all just sitting there.

It's amusing...

 

[RIGorous1]

Cpaladin, I got my Cendyne rebate for the $20 AR 48x12x48 burner from officemax which I submitted on oct. 15... it was for $30 and I recieved it last week... you should expect yours likewise.

Still no one get their Rebates from tigerdirect yet?

Funny, I was about to ask the exact same thing. I tried calling the 888-826-4957# from the form today, but it said no longer in service. After waiting on hold to the local OM B&M for over 30 mins for someone who thought they could help me, I was told the newest # for the rebate company was 1-877-580-3348. Though he never could find the rebate I was talking about (since it's from July-Sept) in his 'rebate book'. This # is not for the correct rebate processing center.

I sent my rebate in 9/3/02, and the card I got awhile back says there's a delay, but that I will still receive the player within the time period stated on the rebate form (6-8 weeks). So, long overdue.

I called Compaq rebate center to check on my $150 FS740 Monitor rebate. Sent off 15 November 2002. Dan said the check had been cut on Thursday of last week. Check arrived TODAY!!!! BTW my STAPLES has 8 in sealed cartons and 1 demo remaining with no reference in the data bank for that SKU online or in the warehouse. Grants Pass Oregon store still brings up $199 for price. Anyone interested might get one ordered and shipped to their B&M location.

hello!

just checked that my philips cdr $14 rebate has been received and pcerebates say

"You should be receiving your rebate by 2/6/2003"

how nice.. super slow.but at least they have it.

i was wondering if anyone received any confirmation from either rebateshq or compusa for the 120gb maxtor $30MIR + $30MIR?

how long do these places take to actually show on their online tracking system that they received the rebates?

cheerio!

So how exactly can I find out about my Office Max "Back to School CD Player CD player?

 

[Cpaladin]

So much for my rebate check for the 32x cendyne being mailed to me. I should have written down the check number when I had the chance but I didn't. It went from processing, to fulfillment and said 10-15 days to receive check, and then back to processing again. I was surprised they were gonna send fulfillment out so quickly, and apparantly so were they cause they cancelled, decided to make me wait 3+ months like every other cendyne rebate<G>
