Quote from bpvh : officedepot.com has been updated so the instant savings are properly calculated -- items are FAR.

The missing $20 rebate for Webroot Internet Security Essentials can be found on rebateshq.com. The offer # is 09-86361. This rebate started in May, so be sure that you haven't already done it before buying this item again.

So you can buy Webroot ONLINE and still get the Rebate ? Just like McAfee and Norton ? Or Webroot is only INSTORE rebate validity ?
Thanks.

"The $20 and $40 mail-in rebates cannot be combined. Only one offer will be validated."

Quote from rc9238 : The "free item with purchase" coupons work with software, but the dollar off coupons don't. Be careful if you're using MyPoints or Bank of America Add It Up to get rewards from this purchase - if you use a coupon, they cashback will be voided. I found that out the hard way. As for the items with missing rebate forms, those rebates are probably found on the software box itself.

Thanks for the warning on Mypoints. 2000 points on Mypoints for a $200 purchase seems to be a good deal (which is equivalent to 2000 United airline miles). They do warn that in store pickup disqualifies cashback and that it must be delivered but I did not see the disclaimer for coupons, so I will have to read the fine print there.

Edited to add - The fineprint at Mypoints does say:
Coupons and gift cards cannot be redeemed for Points.

Will free items, like mp3 players work in store?

No. The free items are online only.

Quote from adnan : "The $20 and $40 mail-in rebates cannot be combined. Only one offer will be validated."

The $20 and $40 mail-in rebates referenced above refer to the double versions of rebate #09-86361 (one requiring an additional tech purchase, the other not (see required proofs)), not to #09-86361 and #09-13942.

Do a search on #09-86361 at www.rebateshq.com. Notice that for each software title, there are two rebates:

1 - for the purchase of the software alone ($20 in this case) and
2 - for the purchase of the software along with a technology purchase ($40 in this case).

These are the $20 and $40 mail-in rebates referenced in the promotion details of that rebate.

FYI, rebate #09-13942 allows for the $20 rebate:

"Can be combined with other rebates up to but not to exceed purchase price."

Webroot rebates are valid in-store and online.

Anyone have any experience with the Peachtree Accounting software?

Is it easy to use? Does it bog down your laptop?

How about any experience with their rebates? Did your rebate arrive on time?

Thanks!

Trend Micro™ Internet Security Pro
$69.99 – $15 Instant Savings – $35 Mfr. Mail-In Savings – $20 Mfr. Upgrade Mail-In Savings = ($0.01)

I've been using Trend for over one and half year, so i have the email confirmation of previous upgrading. But I still am not sure how to do this rebate.

Shoud I send the 2 rebates in in one envelope? since i only have one dated receipt/UPC, but these two rebates both require a dated receipt?! Please teach me how to do it!

The rebates should be mailed-in separately. A copy of the receipt is sufficient. Only one rebate requires the original UPC. The other requires the proof of purchase (usually on an inside top flap) or a copy of the UPC. For the proof of prior purchase:

Quote : Proof of prior ownership of a retail (boxed or downloaded) stand-alone version of Trend Micro PC-cillin, or any Norton™ or McAfee™ product, by providing one of the following: product CD, product disk (disk 1 only), title page of owner’s manual from a retail purchase, or the email confirmation for a download purchse.

Peachtree is accounting software not home finance software. Compared to Quickbooks, it is my understanding that it is more for those with an accounting background.

Peachtree rebates processed by Parago are solid IF you follow the instructions. Among the other requirements (UPC code, receipt, etc) make sure to do the following:

- Registered the software (online at www.peachtree.com under Support and Training or over the phone)
- Include the serial number, customer id and registration number on the rebate form even if there are no lines for the information (this is the case with the pre-submit form).
- MAKE AND KEEP COPIES OF EVERYTHING

I would suggest additionally:

- Pre-submit the rebate at www.rebateshq.com so to get a tracking number from the get go and so that personal info is entered accurately. The rebate form and required proofs still need to be mailed in.
- For rebates over $100 and where the rebate house allows, send the letter certified, no return receipt. Parago accepts certified letters.

If the rebate is initially invalidated for whatever reason, a phone call usually takes care of the problem.

Thank you. I guess the store just does not have any of the gift items in stock anyway.

Thank you.

I've been using Trend Micro internet security for Dell for the past 3 years (3 year subscription with the purchase of my Laptop). I don't have a confirmation email of any kind. The only proof I have is my online account with Trend Micro. How would I go about qualifying for the upgrade rebate? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Usually you see something like to print Info from "Help" but I don't see anything like that.
