fry's/oreilly rebates?

[xyyz]

Fry's has some deals going with certain Oreilly titles. There's a $20 rebate on each book, that costs anywhere between $20-$24.

I was told I coud by sales reps at Fry's that I could submit multiple rebates, so I did just that. But today, just before I filed the copies away, I noticed the fine print stating that only 1 rebate per offer is allowed per household.

So what's the deal? I'm assuming the rebate processing company will have the last say here, and they can give a rat's ass about what the Fry's reps said.

I read some thread someplace, where someone sent out multiple rebate slips for these Fry's/Oreilly deals, and they were denied because of "rebate fraud" or something, all because you are entitled to 1 rebate, not two, and since they sent out for two, both rebates were declined.

How should I handle this now? Should I fight it, or should I simply return the books and call the rebate processors and tell them that I don't want the rebates anymore?

You can get more than one book. Only one of each.

I think you're SOL. Unless you wait for your rebates to get rejected, go to Fry's, talk to the manager, and see if he'll credit you the difference. And how will you be able to return the books if you already cut out the upc for the rebate?

Yeah, steer clear of Fry's...

This is what the legalease says:

Limit ONE rebate per offer, person, receipt, household, family or address.

as for cutting, there was no cutting.

fortunately, the rebate calls for a photocopy of the UPC, so no cutting involved.

i do think if i return the books, i should at least call the rebate processors and let them know that i returned the books.
