Current Beer/Alcohol/Wine Mail in Rebates, Manufacturer's Coupons, and Winetags (Also includes trading any Rebate forms))

Quote from catmom23 : I just called Inmar and asked the UPC question. I have a couple of the Heineken salty snack rebates which are also a bit ambigous on whether UPCs are required for non-beer items, particularly in a NBPR state. I was told that UPCs are not currently being required for any rebates other than for the beer. This could change in the future, but all current offers do not need receipts. She said there was a memo from the company to that effect. Pabst is another company so include receipts with those since it's been an issue but it seems ok to throw out your snack wrappers (I had pulled a bunch out of the trash in case I needed to clip the UPCs).

Thanks for UPC info. I was uncertain about the requirement since I'm in a state with no beer purchase necessary.
It seemed like the UPC was in reference to the beer but didn't know for sure...of course, the companies must want to deter those of us who are looking for the NBPR for our respective states.

I also am kicking myself in the rear because I bought $15 of sancks in one grocery trip............. or so I thought. When I added the numbers in my head the next day, I realized I was 50 cents short. I don't expect these companies to be like P&G and allow for some "give." I'll see if there's anything on my receipt that might count as a snack.

Just a heads-up -- I had a P&G receipt that was .20 short of $25. I called about it for one of the rebates and was told that it wouldn't qualify. I thought I might ahve gotten a cranky CSR so I called again the next day, different CSR said the same thing. So I don't count on any shortages being forgiven by P&G anymore.

Inmar will not give unless it is one of those big market basket rebates and even then it's rare.

I bought $80+ of "groceries" and got a rejection. They added up the OOP prices and I cam up .73 short. Since it was on $80 and I actually showed $88 worth of purchases, I was given a courtesy adjustment but that is the exception to the rule. I wouldn't expect it to happen on a $15 purchase requirement.

You might do better posting a request for a receipt in one of your regular threads. I was fortunate and got a few receipts from my peeps in one of the threads. What date do you need? It would be worth it for you to trade some coupons to get a receipt that'll earn you the $10 but you need to act fast since I know the PM deadline is coming up fast.

Thanks and repped. And big bummer!

Thanks and will rep you again when I can! Can't believe I added wrong...
Thanks for idea about trading for a receipt!

So I'm short a chip, pretzel, etc. item for the Beer rebate for $1.02 for the date of 3/29.

And since I purchased a bag of chips the next day to use for this rebate before I realized that all receipts needed to be on the same date, I have a receipt for 3/30 for about $2.40 for anyone who's kicking themselves in the rear like I am!

Still feeling my way through beer rebates-
For the Heineken SALTY SNACKS it sounds like each product UPC is required. Has anyone in a NBPR state just sent in the form and the receipt and gotten the rebate? Do I really need to "open" 4+ bags of snacks!?

For the NBPR you don't have to send the UPC of the snack. Just circle the snack items & amount. UPC just for beer purschase.
I called and she told me that.

In the pass, I send out RB with OOP around $1.xx with snack $15.xx circle. Got RB!

Which rebate are you talking about not needing UPCs in a NBPR state?

And the Pabst pizza one we do NEED UPCs in a NBPR state, right? I hate how confusing this is when the companies change their terms and each want something different.

No, not the Pabst Pizza.

I am talking about Heineken NNA027

You are correct, Pabst requires the UPCs from pizza for the rebate. To my knowledge, this is the only one which has required UPCs for non-beer items. It is also sent to a different address than the standard Del Rio or El Paso addys that are processed by the clearing houses.

Is the pizza rebate only for frozen, store-bought pizza?
I was planning on using this rebate for the pizza we get from the local pizza place but I don't know if there will be any sort of UPC on the box.
We did get a store pizza (fresh) and that did have a payment sticker with a UPC attached to the box and I was hoping that might work too (along with the receipt of course).

I'd do the store bought (fresh in your case) one with the UPC. I think it might fly with a rebate for pizza that doesn't require the UPCs to do it from a local pizza place but in this case you need the UPCs. I don't know if the box would have type of UPC on them.

Thanks for your advice and repped.
I guess I'll do some frozen pizzas for the other rebate purchase.

These beer rebates are feisty!!

Alright, masters of the beer rebates-
the pizza rebate for $6 says it's valid through 4-15.
Do you folks know if that means the form has to mailed and received by 4-15?
I bought some frozen pizzas TODAY but didn't realize that unlike some of the previous rebates, this form mentions *nothing* about when the receipts needs to be dated or when it needs to be postmarked by!
