Rebate on staples site.

Should also be able to use 10 off 75, right?

can we buy that again if we did buy this before?
will they give us the rebate on the same item??
thanks~

Rebate amount paid to customer for single or combined rebate offers may not exceed the purchase price of the McAfee product. One rebate per product per household. McAfee, Inc. is not responsible for lost or misdirected mail. Tax not refunded.

Corrected it after posting.. Thanks :)

Yes, I wish it were 10.

I'm guessing those of us who just did the NewEgg deal on this one would run into problems with this.

One can pre-register at mcafeerebates.com. Use IE as the browser as the form does not print correctly with FF or Chrome. Where's the wiki?

There are additional competitor coupons too (OM = 20%; OD = 30% excludes tech items such as laptops, desktops, tablets printer, ink... but not AS limited as usual)
Instead of reposting here, I'll just link to the wiki I made in this week's staples thread (coupons are attached as PDF)
http://slickdeals.net/f/5868578-S...it57789094

YMMV of course, but if you are planning to go and buy stuff at Staples, you may want to try stacking Staples' 20% off and OD's 30% off.... doesn't hurt to try ;)

They are gonna put these competitor coupons as PM guarantee... So, I wonder if that will affect rebate...

Terms says "Rebate amount paid to customer for single or combined rebate offers may not exceed the purchase price of the McAfee product."

Update !!!

Item price updated to $65... So, if we use the 20% off coupon, it will be a $13 MM !!

I've done 3 McAfee rebates this year, all with coupons, and have gotten the full rebate validated. Done it in the past with coupons and never an issue.

I am not really worried about 20% coupon.. :) I am bothered about using a OM or OD $$ off coupon and the cashier will key it as PM.. And it will show 100% PM guarantee on receipt instead of coupon

I really do not think that is an issue either but since you have the 20% bag coupon why bother with OD? I am not doing this rebate as I already did it this year. If it was in the 2nd quarter I might do it again as people have gotten rebates for the same product. Someone said once per quarter is safe for the same product. No idea.

Hmm.. Now you are scaring me.. LOL.. I bought this in Dec 19, 2012... May be I will take the risk by altering my address a little bit.. :)

OD coupon - to make it a even better MM.. :)

So will a 10/75 and 20% definitely work as long as cashier scans both? And will be getting the full rebate amount on top of it?

Price has been updated to $65.. So you might need a $10 filler item..

Usually it might not be needed if they priced the item to $79.99 and give instant savings as a $15 coupon.. But the base price itself is now updated to $65.. So, I guess a filler will be needed..

This is done though parago right? Is there still issues with regard to having done a rebate for the same product in he past? (Even under a different promotion)

Can I do this rebate if I had a rebate for McAfee Total Protection 1 User last year?

Probably, as this rebate is for the 3User version - a different product.

I'll give it a shot. It's been about 3 months since I did the rebate.

Just checked and I have not done this one yet this year (done IS 1, IS 3 & TP 1). Does this TP 3 User have the Always On inside?

Anyone notice the staples website says "online only"? Maybe this product isn't available in-store.

Did (IS 1, IS 3, and TP 3) this year. Double checked. Yes, the TP 3 had the Always On sticker on the box as only the IS 1 did not have the sticker as it was the larger box.

For whatever reason they only show online and not in-store but they are in store just like last time I did these rebates.

No (on-site) stock checker. When checking through the Reserve & Pickup link only 1 store showed Low Stock. All other showed Not sold at this location. I called CS to check and she said same the thing. I called the closest store and he eyeballed at least a dozen on the shelf. :confused:

Check your rebate
 

i bought this exact deal a couple months ago. online download. applied for rebate. got email verification of rebate app received at mcafee, then nothing. fast forward about a month. check on rebate, HAD TO GO TO THE SITE. suckers had rejected my rebate because NO UPC CODE. so i call them, mad as hell. yo, this was an online download. THERE IS NO UPC CODE. after arguing for several minutes, they finally manually processed the rebate. or, at least they SAID they did, and latest shows rebate in process. there was no notification my rebate had been rejected. so, be advised

Downloads have been an issue with McAfee in spite of the following on the rebate. Low paid clerical who cannot read. With 20% off bag coupon there is not a lot of incentive to do the download if you can find stock in the store.

"Purchase a McAfee Total Protection 3PC 2013 (SKUs 959597, 957357, 982948) at Staples between 02/24/13 and 03/02/13. This rebate is NOT eligible for online submission and must be mailed. Complete ORIGINAL Rebate Redemption Form and mail by 04/02/13 to the address listed. Limit 1 rebate per name/address/household. Original UPC and receipt is required for boxed software versions. Confirmation email required for downloadable software versions."

OK thanks! I'll try tomorrow.

Not eligible for online submission ?? Let me explain if i understood it correctly.
1. Go to 'http://www.mcafeerebates.com/promocenter/mcafee/' and submit the information.
2. Print the rebate form. Cut the UPC bar from boxed version.
3. original receipt is required (How i will get the original receipt if place the order online?? )
4. Submit the rebate (with upc code, printed rebate from (step-1), Original receipt )

Not eligible for online submission means this rebate is NOT like staples easy rebates (which does not require you to mail in anything)..

You will search for the rebate online at mcafeerebates.com, choose the right one, fill all info and print the final confirmation page.. That is not actual submission... It is just a convenient way to fill out your info instead of writing everything in the staples rebate form... You will then submit all proofs thru mail..

I was responding to someone who did a download not someone who bought the boxed product online. For online orders you include a copy of the packing slip. I believe that information is on the instructions on the McAfee form on the McAfee site.

Oh Thanks :shake: . Doing Mcafee rebate 1st time. Actually i don't need Mcafee but just planning to purchase to meet the premiere spend limit. So far only $230 this year :(.

Total noob question, but how can I generate a 10/75?

Looking to get this + PP readers

Sorry if I missed this, but will the 20% bag apply if we buy McAfee via the kiosk?

Through Staples app.
http://slickdeals.net/forums/show...ostcount=1

If u get in store i don't see any reason it shouldn't but check before going to store. I called my store and they didn't have in stock. Ad also shows online only.

I meant order it at the kiosk for delivery so it is a staples.com order but pay for it at the register so the 20% bag can be applied.

did the pre-submission and it asks for:

Attach the following required proof of purchase to this form:
McAfee 2013 Total Protection 3 User Email Confirmation
McAfee 2013 Total Protection 3 User Original UPC
McAfee 2013 Total Protection 3 User Store Receipt

Wording makes it sound like I need all three but Email Conf would be with online order only right? Or is it asking for an email confirmation showing that you activated the sw?

I can never get the check ins to work. Whenever I check in, I just get an empty field in my coupon portion :(

Maybe.

"$65 Mail In Rebate on McAfee Total Protection 3PC 2013 (SKUs 959597, 957357, 982948) at Staples".

Note there are 3 skus for this rebate. Online boxed, online download, and I assume store boxed. The issue with kiosk orders and store coupons is that if the sku is not sold in the store, the coupon will not apply. My guess is the 20% on a McAfee kiosk order will not work. Could be wrong.

The email confirmation is for download orders.

thanks e-dubs

on a side note. noticed that my kiosk orders for paper don't give me 10% back just 2% (az rewards prog). is this happening for everyone and is it just something you have to call rewards to get fixed?

Should have added that for online orders of boxed software you would include the packing slip.

damn got this last time

Do paying using rewards affect the payout? I understand a 20% off coupon, but what about usign rewards to pay off the entire thing? (I say this cuz the rewards show up as a coupon, resulting in a total of $0.00)

You'll get the full payout, regardless of rewards / coupons. Done this many times.

Actually had this in the store and the 20% worked with no issues.

In my copy there was also a $20 Visa card offer also.. I used the 20%, plus $10 off $75 and $25 of Hammermill coupon. TOTAL WAS $70. with a case of paper.

http://img708.imageshack.us/img70...329108.jpg

Yes, the Always On is a separate rebate. VISA card comes in ten days.

Why did the paper cost so much to start? Mine was $28.99 before the $25.00 coupon. I did a kiosk order. Did you buy in-store?

In store, I had already used the coupon online.

Was McAfee marked in store as having a rebate?

Yeah, was listed as free.

Can we tell on seeing the box if that offer comes with it? Any idea if kiosk orders from warehouse might have that? Or is it a old offer that is in the old stock lying that the store?

It's actually a new offer on the newer, smaller, non-disc boxes. There will be a sticker that says Special Subscriptin Offer.

IIRC, folks who ordered the same products from kiosk or .com did not get the offer.

Online, no IIRC. Look for the sticker on the small thin box in red lettering on white background with black border(?) with subscription offer on the stick on. No idea if this all on old stock or not.

Thanks.. Will look for it..

the mcafee i picked up has the always on rebate. do we actually have to install and activate the sw to sign up for the always on program or can we just send the requested info?

No need to install, just follow the steps mentioned in the info, you should be good.

I never installed the software. For one of the two I did I never even signed up to their site. Just submitted the rebate from the front page.

It looks like this is an auto-renewal at current prices. How do we cancel it after the VISA card arrives?

There's nothing to cancel. They don't have any CC info, etc. to charge you anything. It's not set up to charge the Visa they send you.

For McAfee Always On? I never gave them a credit card so how can they charge me?

...but they gave you a credit card...get it?

Does the product even show up in the profile of the registration? Not having a credit card doesn't stop them from mailing a bill.

Hmm. Well I spent it. Quick. Says it is a reward.

This is a reward for registering for Always On. I did not purchase anything but the software. I did register one product before I knew better but I just checked and my autorenewal option is turned to OFF in my account.

"The product that you purchased provides you with one-year of protection, but don’t let your security lapse. McAfee Always On Protection enables subscribers to receive uninterrupted protection from McAfee security services.
Always Current
McAfee Always On Protection guarantees a full term of anytime, anywhere access to updates and upgrades. Your protection is always up to date".

How did you get an online coupon for the paper? The link provided on slickdeals just had a dead coupon.

I preregistered on McAfee it's asking for the UPC, while the staples rebate form is only asking for the receipt. What to do?

You follow the rules on McAfee to avoid issues. Send in the UPC. For downloads they have rejected rebates (there is no UPC for a download) because of no UPC. Which tells me they expect a UPC for boxed versions so I would include it. I cut out the UPC on all of my 3 of my McAfee rebates this year and all have been validated.

But do I send it out to the staples address or McAfee?

EDIT: Nevermind ignore that last one.

Awesome, thanks! Repped you.

Too bad, I think if you already bought this 3-User version at any store before, you can't buy again.

McAfee Always On sucks. Way to scam money.

Please attach the following information to the mailable form on Step 6:
McAfee 2013 Total Protection 3 User Email Confirmation
McAfee 2013 Total Protection 3 User Original UPC
McAfee 2013 Total Protection 3 User Store Receipt


What is this? I don't wanna miss anything when submitting the rebate

Edit: Chatted with Parago and it's only needed for download purchases. Boxed versions just need the UPC

I've never had to provide CC info to get the extra Always On activation rebates. Am I missing something?

Stores in my area are OOS from last time......

Anyone know if i can do this at the same time as one from Newegg if i use separate addresses?

Only relevant if you purchased the download version otherwise ignore it.

No, and as I posted earlier you do not even have to register with Always On if you just use option 2 first. Even if you do signup auto renewal is turned off in your account so they will not bill you after a year. Besides that they have no credit card information on file to bill you with unless you provide it to them.

You might use this post as a guide: http://slickdeals.net/forums/show...stcount=18

Rebate form says Proof Of purchase so should we send the reciept of the transaction or the Rebate form which prints up at the cashier

Pre-register at McAfeeRebates.com and print the form with IE, not FF or Chrome as only IE lets you print the form clean. For boxed, you need that form, UPC cut from box, and rebate receipt from register. Mail to address on that form.

Strange I wasn't charged tax on this or PP reader when buying online, but I got charged tax on PP reader in store

When I tried printing from IE, it is still not printing a "clean" copy of the form. The mailing instructions seem to be overlapping with the mailing address.

Dang. That was the only browser that never had issues with the overlapping text. I've sent in the form with the overlapping text. McAfee just needs the bar code to scan anyway and IIRC that is fine.

Thanks. ..I tried preregistering again and had the same issue. So, I'll just send it in as is.

Got it thank you used IE


I was able to do it in IE with no issues may be the version issue

Just picked mine up. It was clearly marked in store as free after rebate. My copy has the "always on" rebate too. So with the 20% off coupon I should make $33 while cashing out $30 in rewards and $10 in gift cards. Plus I got a stupid bag that my wife will probably like. Nice!

Same Here TOO.
Only MR Watson can help resolve this issue ?
Thanks

Just came back from store, the Mcafee was out of stock. Can I buy it and the paypal readers at kiosk and pay at the register using 10 off 75 coupon and 20% bag coupon? Does the Mcafee software have the same SKU# both in store and online? Thanks.

I bought it in store yesterday but it rang up $79.99 for me. did anyone else had the same issue?

PayPal readers do have the same sku both online and in-store. McAfee does not. Not sure how the 20% will play on the McAfee. The $10/$75 should work fine. There will probably not be any Always On stickers on a box you buy online IIRC.

Thanks and repped. Guess I will try another store a little bit further than where I live.

Just call Staples.com (1-800-333-3330) or the store before you go. Ask for inventory count for sku 959597 which is the store sku not the one online.

Thanks again.

So to get always on rebate, you have to activate the software and I assume we cannot sell on ebay?

Nope. To get the VISA rewards card you just have to fill out option 2 on the site they point you to.

So I bought the McAfee instore and submitted the rebate already by mail. Is it OK to sell this now with UPC removed and it will fully work on 3 PCs to the person who activates it?

What is this Always On part that people are talking about? Is that some other rebate we can qualify for, but it would require activation thus then item cannot be sold at that time. Is that correct?

Hmm... Used the below link..

https://www.mcafeealwayson.com/indexUS1/

It asks us to enter the product key and then the always on code.. Wonder if that will activate the product or will it accept only if product is activated?

Are you talking about McAfee or TD software? I just did the rebate presubmit, printed it out and mailed with docs. What is this option partyou are referring to?

I have done 2 of these and never installed the software. What McAfee does with the code I have no idea. Jatan... had a really good write up on how to do the Always On rewards card w/o signing up. It was in one of the old McAfee TP threads IIRC.

This has nothing to do with presubmitting the rebate from Staples. Talking about the Always On VISA card offer found in some boxes of McAfee software.

This one??

http://slickdeals.net/forums/show...stcount=57

He is asking to activate the product in step 2.. :(

Yes, that one. I've skipped step 2 and gone right to 4 and gotten the rebate.

K.. I actually bought 2 of these today and both have always on card...

When I bought one of this 2 months ago, I blindly activated it and ended up finding that the always on card was not inside.. LOL... So, I am planning to use that old product key with one of my new always on code (from today).. I think that should be fine... May be use the same old product activation key with another always on card I have...??

I have $50 rewards. Will I get full $65 Rebate if I use the $50 rewards and 20% bag coupon?
From the rebate: May not be valid in combination with other offers.

So far no one has posted that they did not get full rebate for using rewards or coupons.. So, should not be a problem...

Thanks gonna give it a shot and convert my $28 battery rewards back to cash.

Is this ONLY for "3 User" and not "3 PCs"? I went into Staples last night and grabbed a box of the clearly marked "Free after mail-in rebate - normal price of $65" and it was the only software in the aisle that was FAR. I then checked out with no problem - paid $55 for the software after 20% off and the register automatically printed off the associated rebate as well. Now this morning I'm trying to register on mcafeerebates.com and when I select "McAfee 2013 Total Protection 3PC" as my Product Purchased, it tells me "We’re sorry we are unable to locate the rebate offer you searched for. Please check your information and try again." and when I select "McAfee 2013 Total Protection 3 User", it finds the $65 mail-in rebate.

It's the 3 User. Just search by offer code 13-50721. See Staples easy rebate site for reference:
https://www.stapleseasyrebates.co...sku=957357

Why would the 3 PCs version have been marked as FAR for the accurate price and the register print out the "correct" rebate that's been discussed in here then?

Edit: I'm on the phone with them right now and they're telling me it's the same thing, that the rebate applies to this product (3 PCs) and just proceed with the rebate as planned. They're saying it's a Staples rebate, not a McAfee rebate, and that I probably wouldn't be able to find it with McAfee anyway. This is just surprising to hear and seems to contradict info/advice earlier in this thread where people were registering their rebates on mcafeerebates.com.

I always thought the two were the same, 3 user and 3 PCs. I never realized they were different. What's the difference between the two?

It's the same thing. I think it has to do with the way the rebate offers were listed by different retailers. Staples.com description is 3-user while Newegg description is 3 PC. If you go to the Mcafee site and pick 3 PC from Newegg, you will get a valid rebate offer.

ETA - item # is same on both sites MTP13EMB3RAA, so additional proof if you're still not convinced

Haha I'm convinced that YOU know what you're doing...I'm just not convinced I was sold the correct product. Either you just quoted the wrong item #, or mine doesn't match what you just wrote. The product I walked out of Staples with yesterday is: "McAfee Total Protection 2013 3 PCs" - item # MTP13ESM3RAA.

Haha...I hear you. The different #'s are probably there to distinguish products sold online vs at B&M. If it makes you feel any better, the copy I bought this morning has the same item # as you and I'm not worried about anything. General rule for me is that if the rebate prints at the register, then you're good to go.

....and you're also not concerned that it doesn't show up on mcafeerebates.com under "3 PCs", only under "3 Users"? Should I just register it under the $65 3 Users rebate form and move on?

Sorry - I just try to be very particular about sending in MIRs because I've had several turned down in the past for even the slightest missed detail, so I try to be as thorough as possible.

I noticed the same thing when I first searched on McAfee's site for this rebate and selected 3PCs and it brought up nothing. Then I selected 3 User and it brought up the rebate. I then tried it with just the offer# and it too brought up the same 3 User rebate. So I just used that and proceeded with the rebate, printed it out, attached UPC and receipt and mailed it. If the rebate printed out at the register then we can be sure we got the right product.

I generally don't do pre-submissions and just mail in the form that I get from the register. That being said, if I did decide to do the pre-submission this time, yes, I would go with the 3 User option and just make sure it says it's for the offer at Staples.

Based on my recent experience with Mcafee rebates and from what others have posted, they seem to be much better about handling rebates nowadays. I recently had an issue with the Turbo Tax/Macafee combo rebate where the rebate form from the register did not ask for a UPC but the online pre-submission did. They invalidated my rebate at first, but when I pointed out that my form did not ask for the UPC, all they did was ask me to fax a copy of the UPC and my rebate was validated the next day.

I have the same Item# as well...MTP13ESM3RAA. I think that should be correct one.

Thanks Mr Watson.
Went to store and still I get blank screen only

Just use the offer number. IIRC I had the same issue and just used the offer number. Sent in the form and the UPC and the register rebate receipt and the rebate was approved a week after mailing.

Great - thanks everyone!

Holy smoley!! Mailed McAfee rebates on 1/22 & 1/28. Just got both rebate checks in the mail for McAfee TP 3 user and IS 3 user.

Seriously. I mailed my TT/Mcafee rebate on 1/22, and despite having lost a few days sorting out my missing UPC issue, I still got the check yesterday.

SER is keeping up though. All my recent SER's have been coming in under 5 weeks.

Actually, both were mailed on 1/22. It was the McAfee IS 1 user I am still waiting on that got mailed on 1/29 as part of the TT deal.


I am STILL waiting on my Kaspersky check that was cut 2/4 and someone else posted they got 2/13 or 2/14. I checked and it has not been cashed per RebatesHQ.com. Lost in the mail or never sent? Have to wait 30 days for them to reissue if not here by then. First one that has gone astray in over 100 rebate checks.

Can we place a kiosk order for this? My store is out of this item.

Sure can. Only issue is that since the online sku is different than the store sku will you still be able to get the 20% off? Store coupons often (if at all) work on the same skus sold in the store as well as online. Let us know how this goes if you do do that.

Mine came with a $20 always on rebate as well. I have gotten these quickly in the past.

If you’re a Windows user you do need an Anti-Virus. I do not recommend the current top sellers: Norton Anti-virus or McAfee. They’re bloated and less effective than others. They come free on most new computers because the manufacturers pay the computer manufacturers to load them! What does that tell you?
• If you can’t afford, or don’t want to buy, an anti-virus program I recommend the Free Version of AVG from Grisoft. It’s fairly accurate but to reduce bloat you might want to turn off the background tasks.
• The best commercial anti-virus is NOD32 from Eset. It’s relatively inexpensive and has a 100% effective rating from the Virus Bulletin.
• Also consider Microsoft’s free Security Essentials. I’ve used it for several years and it’s never let me down.
Symantec’s Anti-Virus Research Center is a good source of virus information. The site also lists hoaxes and offers many free virus removal tools. Most anti-virus companies maintain similar sites. Unfortunately, there’s no standard for virus names, so you may have to look around to find the right page.

Fyi... I pre-submitted the McAfee rebate at McAfee rebates site with total protection 3 user and got a confirmation email with total protection 3 pc.

One last time again...

The form printed from the mcafee website
Rebate Reciept
and the UPC Code

these are the three to be attached right



the UPC bar code on the box and the UPC code on the staples redemption form does not match am i doing anything wrong

Correct...

Not sure why the UPC won't match up..

Thanks EW... Staples 20% coupon didn't work for online order. I used OM 20% coupon. The customer copy has all the rebate stuff.

Who can help me out in this may be Watson..:worship:

I am still waiting for Kaspersky checks from a Frys purchase sent in on 12/11/12.

Dr, 20% worked fine for kiosk order of this item, also used 10/75 with a filler to make the subtotal above 75. Now need to see if they send the big box or the small one.

Do a forum search of titles only using "McAfee total" and look at past threads. IIRC this issue was addressed in one of those threads. This rebate has been repeated at least twice since December.

Can confirm that this works. I ordered at kiosk, added $10 worth of filler, used 25/75 online coupon, and then used 20% off at register. All of it worked.

Just to clarify. You used a 25/75 online Q in your kiosk order? Then used the 20% Q at checkout? Didn't think that would work.

Can you do the $20 McAfee Always On promotion a 2nd time, if you did it previously with the purchase of a different product (Internet Security 2013, in my case)...?

Yes. I have done it 3 times. 1 each with TP 1, TP 3 and IS 3.

Thanks!

Yup, worked for me. Just added some filler from the store while checking out so that it did not look like I was there just to get 20% on the kiosk order. When the cashier scanned the coupon, it applied to the kiosk items as well.

Did the manager or their designee have to put in an override to get the 25/75 to go through or was this a smooth easy transaction?

Nevermind

Included in the packaging.

The coupon acted a bit strange. I logged into my staples account, added the items in the cart and then applied the 25/75. It showed that the coupon had expired or redeemed. I logged out and added the items into the cart, and then there was no problem in applying the 25/75 at the kiosk. Total printed out as 51.xx for the kiosk order. I could not understand why the coupon acted that way.

When the associate scanned the order at the kiosk, the register threw back an error that the coupon was not present in their database (even though it applied fine at the kiosk). The manager had to do an override for the coupon.

Then the cashier just scanned the candy I had got from the store and then the 20% off coupon.

Thanks for replying. That makes sense now. You got a nice manager to override that coupon for you. You haven't been able to use those online only coupons for kiosk orders paid in the store for over a year... reason is they have separate coupon databases for online coupons and a different one in the register system for in-store coupons.

Up to 5 per household.

Got one the other night when I picked up my new SSD for my laptop......debating about getting anther one when I go back......

Any issues sending from another address? and will it be a big deal if I use my rewards on another one....or should I forgo the rewards number for that one....?

Need more context. Are you trying to do 2 rebates? Or just ship to a different address? Although in both cases, answer is it doesn't matter.

Two questions:

Will the 20% off coupon work automatically on the download version or will it have to be manually adjusted?

Will online $xx off $xx coupons work at the kiosk?

Thanks!

Don't know. It could work(?) but if coupons work like last time on kiosk orders it would be manual override and would they even apply a store coupon override on an online only item?

Thanks for the quick reply.....I just bought another for my parents address and used my rewards # when purchasing.....I just was wondering if there was going to be any issues, with my previous receipt going for one and a new one being submitted for my parents.....they both show that I bought them......they will be mailed seperately

You were in that the coupon didn't work on my purchase of a download-version software. Has anyone had luck getting someone to manually input it?

Correction to my comment. If you're doing 2 rebates, best to use 2 different names/addresses. It shouldn't matter, but there's less potential problem if the recipient on the receipt matches the name on the rebate submission.
If you are buying for your parents and they don't have a Staples Rewards account, it's all good. Not sure what happens if they have their own Staples account registered to that address.

I *think* he was just saying that the two submissions would only have in common the fact that the receipts would have the same rewards # printed on them. But given that these are MIR's it really shouldn't be an issue. They have no reason to even check/compare rewards numbers especially since many of the submissions won't even have one to check/compare. I'd be highly surprised if anyone noticed the commonality, and if they did I'd guess they're a bit OCD and perhaps a bit of a savant or have a photographic memory and be the one to process BOTH submissions. To be extra sure you could just mail them a week apart.

is it normal that no rebate receipt print out when doing a kiosk order?

Did it print out rebate form?

no, should it have?

Yes it is normal for it not to print on a kiosk order. It should be noted on the kiosk customer copy and the email from the kiosk order. You will need to go to the rebate system and print the form or pre-register with McAfeeRebates.com and print that form (use IE to avoid overlapping text).

Answered above.

Guys, what should i expect inside the box. I only got 2 cards inside and one of the card looks like something is missing. i bought the box from staples and did not check it until now. It looks like someone opened it and return it. Thanks for any info

The "missing" part is the sticker on the outside of the box (serial number). That white cards has your product key. The black card should be the Always On $20 offer.

One card should be a Quick Start guide with a code. The other card should have GET $20 NOW with a teeny tiny code in the lower right.

I've just bought in store "McAfee Total Protection 2013 3PC":
SKU: 959597
UPC: 731944619613
It was labeled for $79.99 on shelf, but rang up for $65 (minus 20% coupon, plus tax).

It's different to what is online (Item/SKU: 957357). It's labeled on the box "3 PCs", not "3-User" as online. McAfee rebate page linked on the first post also differentiate the products.

Rebate form for the purchase was printed at register.


Questions - what do I mail for rebate?
1. "Rebate Receipt" (do I need to sent "normal" receipt as well)?
2. "Original UPC" - shall I just cut off around barcode on the rear of the software box and enclose it? (never did MIR, sorry for stupid question).
3. Printed at register and filled "Rebate Redemption Form"

You can send in 1) Rebate receipt from the register and Rebate redemption form from the register and UPC or 2) You can pre-register @ McAfeeRebates.com (use IE) and use that form and include UPC and rebate receipt from register. Take copies of all documentation you send. Yes, just cut out the UPC which is 12 digits.

Just send the register printed Rebate Form, Rebate Receipt and UPC. Make copies (or take pictures) of everything before you mail.

Yes, that is a pain as I use Firefox. However, it's a simple fix if you can use Firebug- they have hardcoded the 'height' of the <div> just above the overlap. Highlight this <div> using the 'inspect' button in Firebug and delete the height value. I'm sure if I could contact someone on their end in charge of programming, they could fix this error for good in less than a minute.

Just picked up McA TP 3 that has Always-On in the box. Haven't done this before.
The MIR will get me $65. Is the Always-on a separate rebate? Any problem with using the same name/address?
Also, is Always-on available only for in-store purchased McA TP 3? ie., not avail with on-line purchase?

Store purchases only in the small box with the sticker. Always On is a separate rebate. Limit 5 per household. That AO rebate comes in 10 days.

Thanks. So they won't invalidate either rebate if I use the same name/address then?

How do I submit Always On rebate?

One has nothing to do with the other per se. You can track both on RebatesHQ.com.

Hey guys a bit off topic but need your advice here.

Has anyone sold these softwares on Ebay and the buyer claimed that the box was empty with no CD? I'm dealing with one of these now where after the item was delivered a few hours later buyer emails me that there is no CD in box and why was there a small part torn from box (which is the removed UPC which was indicated on the listing). They say the package was perfectly sealed, but no CD. The buyer has zero feedback with an Ebay account since 2009.

I think they might be scamming me here and was wondering if I should just refund ASAP and be done with it or as Ebay suggested to email buyer to say that I mailed the item in factory sealed and new condition with CD (and don't know why there would be no CD) and for them to file a case with Ebay so that further investigation is to be made. I'm just wondering if I go this route will Ebay side with the buyer in the end and I will out of the money anyways or in this situation will my better feedback paly a role to help my case?

Just confused on how to proceed here whether refund now or start the case route? I just don't want that negative feedback in the end as well since I'm more worried about that.

They don't come with CD. I think you have to download the product from McAfee website. Box only has the activation key.

Are you sure about that since on Amazon it lists the item with CD-ROM?

http://www.amazon.com/McAfee-MTP1...ction+2013

Anyone else that has opened this software does it have a CD or not? What is in the box of this McAfee total protection 2013 3PCs?

That's a bigger box than we bought at staples. It only has 2 cards with activation key and rebate for always on.

Ok thanks for the clarification. I did not know that since I didn't open the box and figured it included the CD as well. I will let buyer know what is in the box and how to download/activate software.

Does the card with activation key provide instructions on how/where to download the software?

Yes,

Go to www.mcafee.com/mtp/retailcard

Create new account or log in and follow instruction.

If you stated in your listing that it included a CD in the package he can still get you for Item Not As Described. Maybe he knew that all along and was trying to catch you slipping. j/k

Hope you can work it out.

Ya I had put CD in title but did not mention anything in the listing itself. I forgot to change that part since other software I sold did have the CD so a goof on my part and up to now I thought the boxes at Staples did include the CD.

I messaged back that I was not aware as well since box was sealed and found out myself now. I apologized in there and let them know if there is anything else I can do for them.

Update: I just sent the buyer a $10 refund for their troubles and my goof. Hopefully that will smooth out any issues they might have had with the transaction.

Anyone has 10$ off 75$ working coupons from old version (2722, 5108) /new version of Staples app that expire soon or you are not using , please pm me.
If you have 2 i can offer 5$ e-GC . thanks

Isn't this really an extra $20 with the always on protection, so actually a very big moneymaker this week?

Most seem to have the 'Always On' bonus, so yes, it's really a $33 money maker for those that do.

If your version has the Always On, does it show something on the outside of the box or do I have to break the seal and open?
It does have a note "Special Subscription Offer - see inside for details".

You should be fine with that sticker.

Did you buy from Staples? He probably also got the Always-On offer for $20.

I was under the impression that the version we bought from Staples had an actual CD and I had listed in my title that is was CD version. So when buyer received it and saw no CD they panicked and sent me a not as described email and I thought I was being scammed.

But I later found out that there is no CD in the box, but just activation keys and they had to download it. I emailed the buyer that info and cleared it up and mentioned I too was not aware that there was no CD since box was never opened. I was afraid that buyer might still leave bad feedback since it was my error so in the end I aslo refunded them $10 of their purchase price as a sign of good faith (still a MM in the end so no biggie).

This morning buyer emailed back and all is good. Next time I have to pay a bit more attention to some of the titles for my listings. Lesson learned.

Damn. Forgot about that.
Did you profit more than $20 on the eBay sale? If not, you should have just opened it up and redeemed the Always On offer for $20 GC.

Thanks for the info. Than i am not missing anything

I purchased 3 different McAfee's and did the rebates under different names and addresses.
I also signed up for the Always on and used same name and same address and received all 3 visa prepaid cards today.
Wow super fast! I made the purchase last Sunday :) w/20% coupon :)!

Bought this online and did not come with Always On offer. Feel jipped. Box said Special Subscripton Offer, but it seems to only be "extend your subscription for 9.99"

The online box also has a CD

do you mind to share how much you sell it?

Same here. Anybody knows if the 'Always On' offer is only in the smaller box sized packages?

That seems to ring true. I have not read about anyone who got the big box getting the Always On offer inside.

Dang! Got my $20 always on prepaid Visa today! Just registered it like last Wednesday, never had a rebate that fast.

For those wondering, I didn't install or activate... never asked me for a CC

+1, took me awhile to figure out what the heck it was for...
