I love free after rebate deals, especially easy ones. Last month I did a deal for some symantec software that was free after rebate. After hearing all those rebate horror stories I was a bit nervous but Symantec’s rebates on their Norton products are great I’ve heard. I spent $150 total on two software packages and a month later after submitting the rebates, $150 in rebates actually came!
Here are some tips for people that are interested in FAR deals:
1. Photocopy EVERYTHING. Please, please, please remember this one. One of the rebate submissions, I got an e-mail from Symantec saying it was the wrong UPC code. I called them up and the rep asked if I had a photocopy of the items. Luckily I scanned everything and read the UPC number to him. The rebate came two weeks later.
2. Read the terms & condition carefully. Read everything and make sure you follow all the requirements. If they tell you to circle your item on the copy of the sales receipt, then remember to circle it!
3. Don’t procrastinate. If you miss deadlines you will be ineligible for the rebates.
The next free after rebate deal I am pursuing is Norton Antivirus – 3 user pack from Buy.com. Details of the deal are listed here.
