Office Depot FAR software for the week of 04/15/2012 and continuing the week of 04/22/2012

Office Depot FAR software for the week of 04/15/2012 and continuing the week of 04/22/2012


UPDATE 04/20/2012: The rebate offer numbers for the Trend Micro rebates have changed. When searching on the SKU 710446, the rebates now found are 12-85374 and 12-85375 and the rebates properly reflect the product as the 1 user version.


--------------------

UPDATE for the week of 04/22/2012: AVG 2012 Anti-Virus + PC TuneUp, For 3 Users; Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security and System Mechanic 8 continue as free after rebate. QuickBooks Online Simple Start, Online Service is only free after rebate through 04/21.

UPDATE 04/19/2012b: The AVG rebates are now available from Office Depot's rebate website.

UPDATE 04/19/2012a: The Trend Micro rebates are now available from Office Depot's rebate website although no pre-submit forms at this time. Oddly enough, the pdf versions of the rebate forms reference the 3 user version even though they come up when searching on the SKU for the 1 user version. I called rebateshq customer service and the reply was there is limited information because this promotion is brand new, that they would have more information in 10-14 days, and that the reps' supervisor believes it is for the 1 user version. My advice would be to make the purchase in-store and keep a copy of the printed ad showing the item is FAR.

NOTES:

--- "FAR": free after rebate
--- "completely new rebates": the goal of my Office Depot rebate threads is that the rebates of any title listed in the "completely new rebates" category can be submitted without concern for past rebate submissions.
--- "standard rebate": all rebate proofs can be satisfied with the purchase of the title.
--- "upgrade rebate": at least one rebate proof requires providing a certain proof of owning a previous version of the product or a competitors' product.
--- "CONTINUING rebate": the rebate was not offered for the first time during this offer period. Please check your rebate submission history to determine whether you have submitted this rebate in the past.
--- "onbox" or "inbox" rebate: the rebate form or the information for submitting the rebate are found on or in the product box. If known, a link to a pdf version of the rebate or the pre-submission information for the rebate are provided.

****ALERT ON MCAFEE REBATES****

It has been reported on SD that McAfee through its rebate processor, Parago, has started to enforce a one per product restriction on its rebates. Until this is sorted out, submitting more than one rebate per product is not advised even if the rebate has a different rebate number and different offer period. The rebate invalidation message has been reported as "Your rebate request did not pass our audit process".
