Thanks (and reps) for the link.

One note of caution to everybody that wants to do the deal - this is going to be a tough rebate to get a great return on. The instructions seem to me to read that all of your items must be bought on 1 receipt. The wording on this MIR form only uses the term "receipt", while in looking at the 4 P&G rebates that I submitted last year the instructions all explicitly use the term "receipt(s)".

I have been doing P&G rebates for years and they have always allowed multiple receipts in the past.

As I pointed out in another weekly thread, the rebate form also uses the word "product" and "product price" singular as if we are supposed to be buying ONE item more than $50 which doesn't make any sense either.

There have been other rebates that say receipt, but allow multiple receipts. Pfizer is a good example. I have found that if a company really expects all purchases on one receipt, they usually specify that, like the current L'Oreal rebate.

I am just going to say be careful with the P&G. It seems like this time around they are more picky... my last one got rejected, and all I did was buy herbal essence, did everything as noted, etc etc. It was no diff than any other rebate I have done. I sent the ONE recipe last time, and they tossed it out.

I'd say they are getting more picky; I know I have around 5-6 that I know that have had theirs rejected too, odd to me.

Above that they do specify "products" in the instructions.

Not to be confrontational, but it doesn't seem to be useful to look at what other companies have done with rebates in the past when we have numerous and recent examples of what P&G, themselves, has done in the past. I went back and looked at all 7 MIR forms from P&G that I submitted last year (including ones for Covergirl and Olay) and all of the instructions specifically used the wording "receipt(s)". I also think that it's instructive to note that this new instruction form requires that the actual UPCs from the packages be sent in with the filled-in form - not just a listing of the UPCs on the form. Once again, this is an entirely different requirement than what P&G was implementing in 2012.

Clearly, P&G has decided to make some changes in their rebate practices for 2013. That being said, it may just be a low-level mistake that they won't stand by when pressed. I think it would be useful to have people call in and try to get them to clarify what they want for this rebate. Besides the mutliple receipt question, it would be informative to ask how we're supposed to send in the actual UPCs from the products when some of the UPC are only printed on the actual containers and there's no box (as is the case with the Pantene, Herbal Essences, H&S, etc.)

Quote from gardengal : The 2/17 RP has a $1/2 Mars Easter product q. This week's ad show Snickers(Mars) bunny at 2/$1. I'm thinking buy 24 and use 12 qs. Pay $0 and get $3 ECB. Coupon lists Snickers Bunny and Peanut Butter Bunny with no size restrictions that I can see.

Where do you see no size restrictions on those ?

I see no size after the two items in red and if I am not mistaken there were small size Snickers bunnies last year that were 2/$1

I hope u r right, but 4.5 oz or larger is ending with full stop not comma.

I looked for the two Snickers Bunnies in some stores yesterday, but didn't see anything. I'm thinking those are relatively large items and not single serve like the Snickers Eggs are. That could be why there's no size listed. I do notice that the single serve Eggs are listed in a 6 pack, so I'd be surprised if there any single serve items listed individually.
