if i have two rebates for the same item, and i have only one UPC on the package. The rebates both said they need the ORIGINAL UPC...so if i make a copy of the UPC and send it to one of the rebates, will i still receive my rebate check?

Thats not always the case, I have once received a rebate back and sent in a copy of the UPC while it specifically asked for the original. Most of the time this will not work, but once in a blue moon you could be lucky. I would send in the original for the largest rebate and a copy for the other, it just might work

What you buy, like a laptop or something that has store rebate and manufacture rebate?
Usually when i get those one ask for the UPC and the other only a copy because you get a rebate receipt from the store with all the other info on it already like serial number etc.

yea i got a desktop. they pretty much all ask for the original UPC, i think one is for the computer itself, one for the printer, and one for the monitor :[
