There was a fugi cdr deal back in october. The deal was for 2 50packs of cdrs, each had a $6 rebate. They needed the actual upc & receipt(might of needed just a copy). Anyways, I register on the my rewards page, but I had a problem, since they wouldn't take both rebates. So I decided to simply follow the instructions on the rebate, & mail them out using 2 different return addresses. It's been close to 12 weeks, & I haven't seen anything. Since they asked for the actual upc, I can't re-send them, should they ask(would be too late anyway). Do the people at myrewards.info deal with all the rebates? Who should I call?

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

I have had problems lately with Fuji saying they never received my rebate info. This was using their online site and just sending in the rebates. When you call them they will probably say they don't see your rebate and want you to fax them a copy of all your info. Here are the umbers.

I've always had those very same problems with fuji rebates/myrewards.info myself, so I just stopped doing fuji rebates. Except those going to easierrebates, those I haven't had any problems with..

All of my rebates have been received by the respective fullfillment companies and all are valid (e.g. USB drive, CDRW, CD wallet, CD label kit...). As for when they'll be paid out, God only know since rarely does one ever receive a check in the 8 week time frame.

Has anyone rec'd the Motorola walkie talkie rebates yet from the RS clearance. It was $25/ea on units that were on clearance for $15. (ie make $20 on a pair) The claim went to Niagara Falls.

Other than the Dell/WD 200G HD, this is my oldest outstanding submission. (been about 2 months)

Office Max- Online tracking is useless since it doesnt really work. Only some rebates can be tracked for some reason but I couldnt figure out how to get any of them submitted online. Neither I nor my friends recieved any from Black Friday (day after thanksgiving, Nov). Hope there won't be any problems when/if I start getting them.

The rebates that go to seattle can be filed online at easierrebate.com. It doesn't seem to speed up the process any, but you can check the status online. You also don't need to use those asinine rebate forms where you have to microprint. The online filing process has you print out a form that has your info neatly typed.

Recieved the $50 off Radeon 9800Pro from Bestbuy Today, bought around 11/02 or so. Still have no word on the additional HL2 coupon though.

 

[Slickone]

Can someone else send in a rebate in their name, if I made the purchase with my credit card? Does it make any difference if my name (next to 'cardholder:') is on the receipt or not?

US Robotics rejected rebate on Wireless G modem + reouter combo offered through PCMall and advertised as such on their site. Reason "Retailer not eligible" . Am trying to follow up. Bad business -- bait and switch. buyer beware..

Don't normally do rebates but I bought the black friday liteon dvd burner from bust buy with $ 50 in rebates. I just checked today and only the $30 rebate is showing up and it says that I sent the wrong upc in. I know I sent the right one, they are trying to screw me. Anyone else have this problem? And I don't know why the other $20 rebate isn't showing up. It is rebate #42545 to Calais, ME.

Today I received my Symantec notification about my rebate. When I went online to check it was marked NO REWARDS and INVALID (For about 5 items, Date,UPC,Mailing,reciept,rebate slip) I called 1-866-206-8800 * 0 and talked to a CSR and told him I had the entire mail documents copied and after a identification period he validated my claim over the phone because I was such a good customer.?????? I checked afterwards and now have a copy of the invalidated page and the corrected validated submission.
RECEIVED BOTH REBATES TODAY 7 Feb 04

Calais is the Best Buy rebate center, and last I knew they don't have online rebate status for their rebates. As in, it won't show up at the site you sent the $30.

As for the liteon one, assuming it was mailed to either miami/FL or el paso/TX

800-477-3314, wait for choices
press 2, then wait for choices
press 2, wait
press 1 to confirm your phone #, machine may tell you that it has you info (or not!)
then it'll say press (I forget what) to end call - don't do it - then it'll say press 6 to speak to someone

That's ONLY if the rebate went to miami or el paso, cause then it means it's rebateshq.com aka Parago. Just have the copy of your info, the rebate tracking number, and explain that you sent in the only UPC on the box so it had to be the right one, etc etc etc and you'll get the ol "as a one time courtesy I have validated your submission" deal.

Do you have copies of everything you sent? Did you check their website to see of you rebate was listed? Two months is a short time to close out a rebate promotion. I would call them back and complain again stating that two months is too short of a time and that of they don't pay the rebate you will file a complaint against them and Samsung.

This thread isn't very useful as there is no way to search within the thread for info. Anyway...
Bought VCom SystemSuite 5 at WalMart (apparently marketed via Activision Value Publishing) in the first week of October 2003. Sent in the $20. "competitive rebate" a couple of days after. Offer said to allow 4 to 6 wks for processing - yeah right.
. I contacted them the first week of January 2004 and they said my rebate was "processed" so I asked when it would be mailed - was told a week or so.
. Received check today - 02-07-2004! The check was printed on 12-11-2003 with a "Not Valid After 90 Days" endorsement.!.
. I filed a complaint with FTC today and will do likewise with their state's atty gen. as soon as I can find how to do so.

CTRL+F works when you are viewing a thread normally but depending on how your profile is set and how big the thread is, you may not be searching the entire thread. If your viewing profile is set to only display 20 posts per page and the thread is greater than 20 then CTRL+F will only search 20. If you use the print icon it will display all posts in a thread no matter how big which will let you do a find in the entire thread. Do you see now grasshopper.

Yep, I've had the same problem with the last two fuji/bestbuy rebate deals and so has my friend. When is someone going to start a class action lawsuit against these bastards? I'm getting really tired of having to follow up and then re-follow up a month after that. I mean, it's obvious that they are methodically ignoring entire groups of rebate offers.

Another one....

Fuji $3 MIR from OfficeMax for 5 Pack of DVD's (4 DVD+R, 1 DVD+RW)
Sent to easierrebate.com (Seattle, WA)

Purchased 11/12/03

12 weeks. I think I'm going to be skipping anything that goes to easierrebate.com from now on. All this for a $3 rebate.

Can someone help me out with some info about my rebates.

I bouth the 160GB WD harddrive from Fry's during Black Friday. There are 2 rebates that i sent in worth $100 ($30 + $70), but I've only got the $30 dollars and I haven't seen the $70.

I forgot where i sent the rebate for the $70 to because I went to WD website and there are like 3 different places that they proccess their rebates and I forgot which one I sent it to. I checked on all 3 places and they can't seem to find any info about my rebate.

Any help?
