Total Defense Unlimited Security crap software - FAR at Staples, convert rewards + money maker!

Just so you guys know, last time I submitted a rebate for this they require you to register the software and show proof that it is registered. So if you are planning to resell the software, you are out of luck. Sure, you can resell it but the next guy won't be able to install it.

What a scammer. Sell AV but scam for money ---> hacker.

Quote from Liquidus : I don't understand. I just submitted the staples rebate redemption form that printed out. How can they tell if I've activated or not?

Didn't they require a photo of activation code?

Quote from fbueller : Nope, rebate prints in-store. Again, combine with 20% bag promo and it's a moneymaker.

Most stores don't have these 3 prods.

Sorry you are not that smart.

Quote from xxxHolic : Online Only?

The rebate is through Staples, not the manufacturer. I'm not worried about it.

Quote from xxxHolic : Staples killed the 25off75 coupon sites. Their fault. I have seen it coming.

just got a 25 off 75 today via email

Man...reading these posts I don't no want to think. This software needs to be installed and registered or it doens't? The rebate is a MIR or is it a SER? The $25/$75 coupon is dead forever...but no wait I just got one. Really? All I know is I have over $130 to cash out by the end of April. I suppose by then something good will show up.

It's a MIR, but for Staples purchases, you do NOT need to install the software. You don't even need to send in the UPC. All that's required is the original rebate form printed from the register.

When purchased through some other retailers, installation/registration is required, which is probably why there's confusion about it. There's a sticker on the box mentioning the $20/$50 rebate after registering, but the rebate for Staples purchases is being handled differently.

I have around $200, and new tablets should make it to the market by then!! I am going to use one for a media player and GPS for the car.

I'm clear now...thanks.

SKUs 101923, 101924 (dunno which goes with which). The software's not listed on Staples website, but you can search the SKU from in-store system through an associate. IIRC this was one of the security softs advertised a couple times in the weekly ad after BF. Rebate forms print out at register but you can also get them from the website.
TD Premium $50 MIR [stapleseasyrebates.com]
TD Unlimited $20 MIR [stapleseasyrebates.com]
(same rebate offer number 12-31281, but it's "limit 1 rebate per SKU/name/address/household")

Terms are there, not gonna bother copypasta here. Nothing about having to register/install softs but it does say "valid for end users, excludes resellers" (but terms don't say how they enforce it).
