DawnM Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 UGH! I forgot to save the UPC codes to the headphones I received and now forgo the $20 rebate. I know some people don't do rebates at all. Curious if you all do them and if you remember to save everything so that you get them. I normally am really good about this, but dropped the ball this time.

KatieJ Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I despise them too, but I do them occasionally. Last fall we were reseeding our lawn and got back $30.00 or so from Scotts for lawn fertilizer. However, those we just had to write down the UPC code and not actually cut it out of the bag. Love that kind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Ugh--hate them. Dh says if they're going to rebate why not make it easier for the customer and just give the discount when you buy? Last one we did was a couple years ago. I took care of it right away so no problem there. It was for printer paper from Staples. No more--not worth it for me. Now I just buy cheaper paper from bigmart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica in OR Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I used to do them a lot more. Now if they require an actual paper form rather than an online one, it has to be a really good deal for me to consider it. These two Dilbert cartoons sum it up for me: http://dilbert.com/s...mic/2009-04-19/ http://dilbert.com/s...mic/2003-11-07/ Erica in OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bought our son a phone (yes, at age 8!), but it was a good deal - $100 phone with a $50 rebate. Of course I never sent the rebate paperwork in and as soon as I realized it, it was too late. I am definitely the person they are marketing to with rebates...I stink at remembering to do them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I really prefer not to do them as I just hate it when I forget them! However if it is something we need and the deal is good I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonfirmath Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Some really ridiculous rebates are for beer. I currently have to cash one for $3. Seems pointless, but I suppose the 2 minutes it took me to put it together is worth $3. I just don't see why they can't discount the stupid beer $3. 1. They want the rebate to be limited per household. If they discount the item, then people stock up and they end up "giving away" much more than they expected. 2. A lot of people forget to fill out the forms and send them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
