Newegg.com also has Symantec Norton Internet Security 2013 (3-PCs) for $50 - $50 rebate = Free with free shipping.

About how long are Newegg rebates taking? I haven't done any in a while after doing 2 that took 3 months. It may be worth the wait though for the $10GC.

norton is not free, it's 19.99

Beware of Norton rebates.

Yep showing up as 19.99 for me as well...

Sorry, forgot to mention that the site may still be updating, give it a few :(

Ah, no problem I actually happened to wake up at 3AM EST today...so many FAR items :lol:

Is it still one rebate per year per unique product with them or one rebate per year for any of their products? I.E.doesn't matter if it is Internet security total protection or antivirus & does the number of users make a difference?

So they're paying people to use this software. IMO, they aren't paying enough.

FYI
Norton rebates are reliable and fast. I received 100% Norton rebates I sent.
They took me 7-10 days to get the cards.

Don't you usually get a free antivirus/internet security from your ISP (if you have an ISP)?

Don't let John Mcafee find out you said that! He'll get'cha! :lmao:

Some/most do, yes.

A Norton 360-esque product [comcast.com]is free for Comcast customers.

If I didn't already do the McAfee throwaway to get Malwarebytes earlier this year, I'd be all over this. It was the same product. :(

Anyone know McAfee rebate limit? i purchased the same one from Staples few weeks back, can i still get this or one per year?

From what I understand, if it's the same UPC/product, it's limit one per year.

LOL I forgot all about that. The founder is a psychopath! Makes the McAfee software even more laughable.

ok, thanks.

I already did the McAfee thing (but it's the 3-PC license); anyone know if that will count as the same product, since this is the 1-PC license?

(I'd never use McAfee, but this is basically $10MM...)

(PS: John McAfee sold his company to Intel a while ago...)

Since it's a different UPC, it's considered a different product. You should be okay.

this is incorrect. they are paying you to buy their software, you do not have to use it.

Still not worth it.

McAfee rebate is not showing online on the rebate website, is it going to be a problem?

http://www.mcafeerebates.com/prom...earch.html

And for AT&T, you'd get McAfee.

i think it takes a little while for them to pop up there... my guess is it will be up next week.

Tks to Discombobulated. Got one Mcafee

McAfee Antivirus Plus 2014, I imagine, is going to have a different UPC from McAfee Antivirus Plus 2013. I hate to get into semantics here but it's one per UPC, end of story.

I think that's why people say "per year" as in "calendar year".

EDIT: I Think I see what you mean.

Technically, somebody MIGHT be able to buy the 2012 version of a product in late 2012 and also early 2013 and then turn right back around and buy a 2013 version. So they'd have three rebates of essentially the same product in just the span of as little as a few days (assuming rebates were available for all products).

Understood. I just didn't want people thinking that if they'd submitted a rebate for McAfee 2013, they'd have to wait a full year (365 days) before they'd be eligible to submit a rebate for McAfee 2014.

Hopefully, there'll be FAR + $10 Promotional newegg.com card deals in the future for Internet Security 1 PC, Family Protection 3 PC, Total Protection 1 PC, Antivirus Plus 3 PC, Internet Security 3 PC, Dual Protection 1 PC, All Access Individual, and All Access Household. :D

Got McAfee. Not planning to use, but $10 promotional giftcard is worth (hoping that rebate goes through).

on the rebate form... "Store Name/Location:" ... is that where I live if it's a company / store, or do they want me to put "Newegg.com" there.

delete

I did the rebate when they had the Malwarebytes free with this same McAfee software. I guess I cant do this rebate because it is the same item (different offer # though)

And wasnt there another McAfee product with the same $10 GC?

1) That's correct. Can't do the same UPC twice, even if they're different offer numbers. I believe with Norton you CAN do the same UPC with different offer numbers.

2) Yes, less than a week ago here:
http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/8...-gift-card

I'll gladly make $10 to take your product! Thanks!

Another FAR + newegg.com promotional card deal, only $5 not $10.

Still the same rebate fulfillment company (Parago) though.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pro...6832269058

heh...clicked on the deal because I saw the picture of MalwareBytes >_>!

Same here. Boo!

Just curious: Are there any tangible benefits to Winzip 17 over its free rivals (e.g. 7-Zip)? I'm wondering what would justify it having a $30 price tag for a standard (i.e. not a "Pro") license.

Edit: Also, do the promotional gift cards part of these deals expire as do there "Customer Care" gift cards?

If I have free returns with shoprunner, can't I just return the software and not even bother with the rebate? or will newegg cancel the gift card? I'll try to find the gift card terms somewhere.

NOT AN OPTION, HERE ARE THE PROMOTIONAL GIFT CARD TERMS ABOUT RETURNING AN ITEM EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER USING THE PROMOTIONAL GIFT CARD FOR ANOTHER PURCHASE:

If you receive a Promotional Gift Card in connection with your purchase of an item, your Promotional Gift Card will be voided if you subsequently return that item to Newegg for a refund.

Please note: Newegg reserves the right to block the customer account of any customer who repeatedly seeks to return an item (for which a Promotional Gift Card was issued when the item was purchased), for a refund after first using that Promotional Gift Card toward the purchase of a different item.

Yes, after 1 year.

Ummm, youre suggesting defrauding newegg by sending the software back attempting to steal the gift card? Someone ban this moron....

Of course you cant do that..... What the fark is wrong with some of you.

I assume I will still get the full rebate if I use an existing newegg promo giftcard I have?

Payment method has no bearing on receiving a rebate...... Ill be using one too.

Thanks!

Older McAfee AV's have been notoriously bad at stopping real deal malware and trojans but for FREE you cannot go wrong with this. Got 1 thanks.

Sure you can. The thing's an utter resource hog and after it expires it'll send you popups every day or so with YOUR COMPUTER IS AT RISK!!?!!!!! until you completely uninstall the damn thing. On my ~3 year old laptop when it ran a full virus scan the computer slowed down so much that you literally *couldn't* do anything else. I wouldn't touch McAfee with a 10' pole right now...

LOL..I couldn't agree more about the part when you have this crap installed thinking your system is safe while all the time some trojan/malware is slowly taking it over.

In this case, hopefully the actual cost will be $0 after the rebate and I get a $10 gift card.
I'll mostly gift this to someone:lol: or will install it on my older laptop where its a given that the OS be re installed every other month.

To your point..yes please don't use this expecting it to keep your system safe from even mid level threats.

eh the dell deal was better. $30 for a $50 gift card. No rebates.

They used to be reliable. I have received 100% of my Norton rebates. But others have reported being denied/"audited" for no apparent reason. See thread in my signature.

I am not sure if I'm eligible for this McAfee rebate if I did the rebate for McAfee Total Protection from Staples?

You should be. Total Protection and AntiVirus Plus are different products.

Already dipped for McAfee1PC AV for the free Malwarebytes. Different promotion but sounds like McAfee will deny based on that.

I am not sure if I'm eligible for this McAfee rebate if I did the rebate for McAfee Total Protection from Newegg (few days back)
Can someone confirm please

The way most rebates work is, they just need to be different offer numbers in order to be eligible. So if thats a different offer number(it would have to be) im sure its fine.

I think what he's asking is "can the rebate amount exceed the amount paid"? Some rebates will only pay you UP TO what you paid. Now, that being said, most people would consider a gift card a form of payment, but the rebate processor folks might think otherwise.

I've heard from multiple McAfee rebate "veterans" that it's limit one per UPC (product) per calendar year, not limit one per offer number.

Enough would be $2400 to replace my laptop after that POS software is on there...

That must be one sweet laptop. :nod:

Except a gift card is a form of payment..... Just like when you buy something entirely with a giftcard, you dont really think the rebate company is going to go "oh, they used a gift card, that doesnt count, denied!" do you? Ive been doing this for 15 years, and thousands of rebates, ive never been denied for using a gift card.... What rebate processor folks are you talking about? Speculating? Save the speculation please....


That would be dumb, but maybe Mcafee is a terrible company. I dont buy Mcafee products so, if thats true, thats sad. It would be the first rebate company ive heard of that operated like that.

I'm not saying he would get totally denied, just that they would POTENTIALLY issue him for a rebate for the amount he paid out of pocket (i.e. cash/charge/paypal) but not for the gift card amount. I doubt that they would even do that, but I think that is all he was asking. Not whether or not he would get denied, but if he would get only up to what he paid out of "pocket". Again, some rebates specifically say "rebate amount not to exceed payment amount". You and I and 99% of the people would agree that a gift card is a form of payment, but...I was simply trying to clarify what I believe he was asking you.

If their customer service is half as bad as their product, you shouldn't be surprised.

A post in this very thread supports my understanding of their rebate policy.

I would have to say Newegg.com would go there. I don't understand why they would need that since in step 1 it is said to be purchased from newegg.com only. Just a cut and paste generic form they all use for rebates I guess.

Do we get the promotional gift card instantly after we buy the McAfee Anti-Virus software?

Bought both, FREE IS FREE.

Used my $5 promotional credit from the Anime Studio deal on this deal. Don't have any use for McAfee but I do like Norton. Holler!

Says it comes 4 days later or something.

Can one purchase both items and claim both rebates or do we qualify for only one of these? I'm getting paranoid about peoples' rebates getting denied.

thanks in 41

One is Norton, one is McAfee. Unless you've done the exact same McAfee product this year (Antivirus Plus 2013 1-user), you should be able to do both as separate rebates. Norton fine print says limit one per person per offer, but with the recent uptick in rebates being denied in the audit process, theories abound that they are going after frequent Norton rebaters and/or they've just made it up in their mind that it is now limit one product per person.

Was looking to jump on FAR Symantec's NIS, but after reading about the issues that other people have decided against it. And this new disclaimer on the rebate form:

"Symantec reserves the right to deny rebate requests if excessive requests are submitted per customer or household or if other factors indicate a violation of these terms and conditions."

Seems like Newegg would not even try to help you if you have issues with the rebate. At least, Fry's would try to help. Pass and thumbs down for poor merchant reputation

If I did McAfee Total Protection 2013 few weeks ago that gave $10 newegg promo gift card, am I still eligible for this one? I haven't dealt with Mcafee rebate in a long time so curious as to how they operate rebate now.

$10 promotional gift card w/ purchase, ends 2/28 [newegg.com]

rebate form [newegg.com]

A total general question, aimed at no one in particular. Do FAR deals for McAfee and/or Norton tend to follow any kind of seasonal or yearly trends?

The reason I ask is because there's 3 months left on my current Norton subscription (i.e. expires May 2013). I've bought both this and the 3 user total protection just because they're money makers. I'd PREFER Norton 360, but will only install it in May if I can get it FAR between now and then (otherwise will install McAfee Total Protection).

Do they email the $10 gift card or is it included with the software?

They e-mail it you approximately four days after payment clears.

I don't think it's seasonal, they pretty much have IS / 360 all year around. Usually it cycles between IS / AV / All-in-one products. I'd say there's a good chance that 360 will be FAR from now until May, especially between NewEgg and Frys.com. Frys usually requires 2 rebates to be submitted, regular and upgrade. It's pretty easy to qualify for the upgrade rebate, esp since you've got McAfee to qualify. Just add a deal alert for "Norton" and you'll get notification.

Never done a Deal Alert before but just did my first one. Thanks/repped for the helpful suggestion.

Still can't register the McAfee rebate online. :confused:

has anyone been able to register the rebate with mcafee?

Thanks! Repped!! Is this McAfee any good?

Do newegg promo gift cards expire?

[QUOTE=Discombobulated;57831022]Newegg


Regardless of anything else, McAfee's current offering is WORSE than most of the freeware antivirus out there.

If you're going to buy one, get ESET, Trend, Bitdefender or Kaspersky.

If you want Free, go with Avast or AVG.

Link didn't work, but I got my answer. It expires in 1 year of issuance.

NO! McAfee is terrible! Only thing worse is Microsoft's product.

http://securitywatch.pcmag.com/se...virus-test

Sorry the link didn't work for you.
It's the support FAQ on gift card expirations.

It is indeed 1 year.

www.av-comparatives.org/
AV-Comparatives provides independent and unbiased statistics for most major antivirus products.
You can check out all of the statistics for McAfee if you want to see how it actually performs.

I contacted Newegg and they said just go ahead and mail it.
But I'm slightly concerned. Did anyone find where to contact McAfee?

BTW I'm surprised not many seem to care in this thread.

When newegg did the Total Protection 3-User + $10 promo card last week, pre-registration wasn't live until 4-5 days later. Most are probably assuming the same thing wil happen with this one.

I see. Thanks for letting me know.
I got a reply from McAfee saying they're still setting up the rebate
and to check back again in 24 hours, so I will see.

That's just weird. I haven't kept up with the security news, but last time I checked Security Essentials was doing really decent since it didn't bog down the system and got some decent detection.

Do we get the promotional credit directly to our accounts, or is there a code that we will need to use?

delete

still could not register rebate online?

Is everyone waiting to be able to submit online before proceeding? I have not had good luck with mcafee rebates that I did not pre-register.

I still do not see the rebate online on the mcafeerebates.com , anyone able to submit?

Still unavailable. Guess I'll fill in by hand.

still can't submit rebate online :(

I haven't bought this (dipped in the deal w. free Malwarebyte) but if it gives anyone comfort, the McAfee Total Protection rebate form was available online about a week after the deal was posted.

Just take a while for them to post it and I'm sure it will be well ahead of the rebate's deadline.

Anybody noticed the rebate pdf and online registration version is "1 user", and the product and invoice we got is "1 pc" ?

Is that a problem?

They e-mail you a code and 4-digit pin four days after your purchase is completed.

No. That is the same.

"The same" mean I got the wrong pdf file or product? Or the "1 pc" product is same with the "1 user" product?

On the rebate web site, when you chose product, it show up as two kind products.

1 pc is the definition of 1 user.... heh. It wouldnt matter anyways, the upc code is what they look for, not the friggin name of it.

Received $35 rebate card on 4/20/2013. Thanks, OP.
