Important: Buy.com orders with Google Checkout. How to get free shipping and rebates

[DealEnvy]

Quote from MrFish007 : I've never flamed anyone here. But honestly if someone couldn't figure that out, then they shouldn't get the rebate....

I know! I mean if there is a green or grey truck OBVIOUSLY u get free shipping for each item that has the green or gray truck.

WTF,

Logitec did not honor their rebate. They sent me a postcard that I bought it outside the date range. How August 07, 2007 could be outside the 8/2/2007 and 8/13/2007??? Looks like a scam to me.

Buy.com wouldnt take it back. It is outside their 14-day return policy.

Hey,

I have a question. I bought one item for my friend (he lost hist CC) from buy.com. So that the shipping information and payment information is completely different.

When filling rebate form for this item, which name and address I should use - shipping info or billing info ?

You should use one from the receipt, which is the only reference they have. I am not sure if they will check but I would use either one.

Because you know, there are both Payment Information and Shipping information in the receipt. I dunno know which one I should choose to fill the rebate form.

You should have a phone number in your rebate submission form, they should be able to answer that question. I guess you do not care to which address they sent the check, assuming your friend is still your friend

What's your experience with the GCO bonus? I got it 4 times and after that always got rejected. Here is what I did before each other:

1) Got new IP address
2) Signed up with new and working email address
3) Used a fresh Credit Card
4) Got creative with the spelling of the address and my name

It worked before, but now I get the message that they couldn't verify some of my data. I wonder what that is, because I've never received such a message.

Here are some possibilities and maybe someone can share their experience too:

1) They are checking the phone number? Because I always made one up.
2) They are checking the addresses of previous orders and somehow matching them?
3 They no longer ship to addresses that they can't confirm with USPS?

What's your experince with the Google checkout bonus?

successfully did the GCO $10 after being cxld about 4 times.....I switched to a new hotmail email address and a virtual CC (I was just creating new gmail accounts- guess they figured it out).

Just wondering if anyone has info about this one....... I bought Deadwood season 1 dvd box set 11/07, it had a free magazine subscription or you could send receipts for a $10 rebate. Sent all forms and both buy.com and google checkout receipts with order numbers and $ amounts to M2 Processing/Buy.com. It should have only taken 6-8 weeks, but surprise! I've not heard anything. I just got through fighting Kohl's about a rebate too; they said the receipt I submitted didn't have the store name on it. Luckily I keep copies of everything. Of course, I sent a letter back with a copy of the orig. receipt highlighting the store name 6 times, yes....the name Kohl's was on that receipt a total of 6 times. People make mistakes, but jeez!

I strongly believe they 'deny' some rebates to take chances on people not following up, that will save them good $$$, which added to those that forget mailing the forms, obviously implies revenue for them. I just try now days to avoid many $$$ in rebates, specially after joining SD where patience pays off

*ups let the package front the door

umm , im confusing, because i bought one case , in buy.com with the google checkout, but, only received mails to the gmail account (for use gogle checkout,) not to my account on buy.com, my question is, what mail write in the rebate form? gmail account, or the account that i have in buy.com?

I use virtual CC, new gmail address, and variation on my shipping address here.

I did that too, but after 4 times it always got canceled; no matter what.
How creative do you get on your shipping address?

Unfortunately buy.com doesn't have it's google checkout promo anymore
but there are certain cool rebate sites [pinurl.com] that offer cash rebates on all buy.com purchases as well as other stores.
