REBATES!

[Maxie X]

Do any fellow DODers know where to search for rebates on products bought in store or elsewhere online? I know Amazon.com had printable rebates. Where else should I look?
TIA!!

Have you tried a search on the site of the place you bought from for rebates? Best Buy posts their rebates online.

For instance, the other day I did some shopping at my local RiteAid, and on their website they had all the rebates offered for the month. And I happened to buy something listed. All you have to do is to log the cash register info from the receipt and they send you the rebate you have coming within 2-4wks. (Only 1 rebate check per month tho, so if you'd shop for more rebates during the month, they want you to wait til the end of month b4 requesting the check)

Not sure of what items you're look for, but that was just a suggestion.

I appreciate the info, twinkiesmom.

Actually you helped me to find a rebate at bestbuy.com for what i purchased at another store. "Best buy" is written all over the rebate but it doesn't specify that the item needed to be purchased at best buy. I wonder, will it work?

specifics:
I bought the microsoft intellimouse explorer at Costco.

This offer needs to be postmarked soon if i am to try it.

Thanks!

hmmmm. Good luck. I'd read up on it a little more if I were you. All MIRs I've sent in needed original receipts from BB.

Guess it wouldn't hurt to try. You'd probably be out just a receipt.

Usually "seller" rebates (like from bb,staples,etc), only work if you buy the item there. If you send in the original UPC then you lose the ability to send in another rebate.

try going to the manufacturer's web site (in this case microsoft) and search for rebates for the item there.

There are also some places that try to collect rebates, mostly on computer stuff. I think [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] is one of them.

Although I did not find what I needed from those sites, I saved the rebate on in my favorites. That's the type of sites I am looking for, they are always good to have on hand

Thanx millervt. That's a new site to me! I'm looking for a new puter so that site'll help.

thanx again.

Doing my search I came across the actual rebate for the intellimouse that I just purchased and found this rebate is good on a few MS products purchased from last summer thru to next summer (for some). Here's the link for the rebate for those of you who may be able to benefit from my find...

In this particular situation, the best buy rebate probably would have worked. I confirmed the address to send both rebates were the same, which is the mfr.
Thanks to twinkiesmom and millervt for your replies and assistance.
