RE: Staples / V-Tech Cordless Answering Machine w/ REBATE --- OT

This is off-topic and not a hot deal, but I thought this was worth mentioning.
For those that had gotten in on this deal for $20 rebate, if you sent in more than one rebate - goto the Staples rebate center and check on them!
I sent in 2 and the second one is listed as being invalid - due to "only one rebate per household". But this is not true - the rebate form states "Limit three rebates per name/family/address". I contacted Staples and they are going to reverse mine. I suggest anyone that sent in more than one to check on their rebates!!

Vladik is right - you can go to how2.com or you
can also go to staples.com and click on "rebate center".

Thanks Vladik!

I just checked my two rebates and found the same thing! Thanks for the heads up! Up until the time I saw the one was denied, I was thinking Staples really has a good rebate setup. They send you a confirmation saying they recieved everything, then you check their site and it tells you when they will (more or less) mail you the check. I wish other places were so well done. Now lets see how fast they get my second check back on track!

Just curious, did you guys get ALL the rebate check back from staples?? I think I got three checks, but there should be four or something..

Where did you get the receipt for the staples rebate on the phone?Is it online or the paper that comes with your order(that says not an invoice)

 

[VH2000]

OhMan - I'm still waiting for a few rebates - they take their time!
Go to staples.com and click "rebate center" and type in name & zip and you should find your rebate status.

Goog40 - I sent in the "NOT AN INVOICE" sheet that came in shipping box. I might have also sent in a copy of the email receipt that they sent me.

Hope this helps!!

Hey VladikTheKing, are you the same Vladik as mentioned in the cnet article about bargain hunting over the 4th of July weekend?
"Self-proclaimed "senior deal master" Vladik, who visits several message boards each day, including Deal of Day, FatWallet.com and Ezboard.com, provided CNET News.com with a copy of his receipt. It listed charges of 5 cents for five briefcases, 33 cents in tax, and $3.95 for shipping, for a total of $4.33." Hehe. Let me know if u actually receive those..

staples rejected my 2nd rebate also.
I know that they are doing this on purpose to beat us out of our money. We all know everything on those rebate forms have to be totally
perfect when we send them in or they will be denied.Now that we are getting good at sending in perfect rebate forms, it seems like they
are not perfectly understanding that there are 3 rebates allowed which
is in plain black on the simple rebate form.

 

[VH2000]

poolshark - just call them & they should take care of it.
