Buy Imation 3.5 diskettes 50 pack for $5.00 and get $15 cash back

[Chico]

i stopped by my local officemax store to checkout the clearance table and found this little deal. The clearance table had several boxes of imation 50 pack 3.5 diskettes on sale for $5.00 down from $19. i noticed a $15 rebate on all the boxes. i pulled out one rebate from an already opened box and read the following details.

Receive: $15 cash rebate
Send:
a) this certificate
b) original or copy of cash register receipt from this purchase
c) original upc (bar code) from this purchase

every rebate request must include an actual mail-in certificate per pack and dated cash register receipt. rebate must be redeemed within 30 days of purchase. limit up to 3 rebate request per person or mailing address per pack size per calendar year.

thats it, no expiration date anywhere on the rebate. not sure if this deal is nation wide, good luck.

i picked up 3 boxes for $15 and will get back $45

Damn I wish you would've told me about this a week ago, then again I don't think I would probably make the time to go all the way to officemax without a car but otherwise a good deal and a bump.

Great post ! good for give aways ( when someone comes over and wants a doc etc ).... which I am out of... In fact needed to make a start up disk ... no 1.44 to b found. Worth it just for that fact ! bump from me

 

[copper007]

im going broke from all of these deals. cant pass this up tho i suppose. anyone know if there is a limit on the number of rebates per address, etc?

nevermind, suppose if i just learned how to read i would have noticed 3 per address

Thanks for the notice.
Good deal!
We can all become our parents now:
"I remember when floppies were $1.00 each,
& we were grateful we had them!"

 

[RossMAN]

This is a great deal, thanks Chico! I've done two Imation floppy disk rebates in the past and both arrived without a problem, took about 2 months but hey it's FREE MONEY!

 

[Tung]

This is only regional right?

I just got back from my local OM, and I didn't see any of them on sale.

 

[Zucchini]

none here either

 

[jachuang]

just sent imation an email on whether they
still honor the floppy disk rebate or not.
Will post as soon as I get a reply.

Not available down South Ga.

 

[Cyberian]

Don't they only send you a rebate for the 'purchase price', up to $15??

 

[OutlawWolf]

Good deal. Thx.
I saw this at my local Max but had no idea there's rebate.

 

[SchizoNerd]

i remember cashing on this deal.

the rebate only works $5 for each pack of 50 (up to three altogether). i bought three, so I got 15 back for buying 150 disks. that's a ridiculous number of disks that have very little use these days.

Free, so i can't complain.

 

[isekii]

are these the transparent neon ones?? or the old fashioned black ones???

if it is the neon ones would one of you who bought several of it sell me one ??

Thanks..
PM Me

 

[Rick014]

Bump for a good deal!

 

[Zucchini]

good deal if u can find it.. went to a 2nd store.. no diskettes at all.

 

[CitizenX]

anyone know for sure if they will rebate above the sale price?

for sure = more than an 80% likelihood is sure enough for me

 

[jachuang]

I also posed another question to Imation

anyone doing this rebate, make sure you only purchase the box that says
&quot;$15 rebate by mail on this 50 pack purchase&quot;, because there is a rebate
form inside. They do not take dup, forms nor can you download it anywhere.
Only original form accepted. Also, Make sure the box is still sealed.
There was a box not sealed and someone already ripped off the form inside.

bumpity bump

<< Don't they only send you a rebate for the 'purchase price', up to $15?? >>




So I haven't seen the answer yet.....

Do they send you back the $5 per box you paid, or $15 per box?

Thanks.
