Simple Guide To Rebates
Follow these simple steps to make sure the rebate process is a smooth one.
- Get your rebate ready as soon as you’ve made the purchase. Waiting can mean forgetting.
- Write legibly on the rebate form and envelope.
- Make sure you have all the required items stapled together for mailing (i.e. receipt, UPC, rebate form).
- Make copies of all items or scan them into your computer.
- Keep copies of the items sent along with the company’s contact information together in a folder or on your computer.
- Make sure the envelope is postmarked by the correct date.
- Send large dollar rebates by certified mail.
- If you haven’t received your rebate within the time frame it should have been received in (usually 6 to 8 weeks) contact the company.
If you fill out a lot of rebates and could use help with organization, try Rebate Tracker.com. This is a free program that helps you organize your submissions, keep track of and report on the money owed to you and sends you reminders when your rebates are due back.

August 23rd, 2008 at 9:03 pmI was just wondering if you have ever had any trouble receiving rebates for items you may have used a coupon or CVS extra carebucks on? Is there a way to make sure you don’t have any problems?
February 10th, 2009 at 3:50 pmI promise you won’t have any problems. I did around 20 rebates last year and didn’t have a single problem using coupons/ECBs and getting the full amount back.
