For those that don't know, if you have a Menards store in your area Home Depot says they will match their 11% rebate on your total purchase during the times when they run that promotion.
Over the past few months I filed rebates for $5, $60, and $15, and haven't received any of them. I did them electronically and cut-n-pasted the relevant info from my e-receipt so there is no chance of error or things getting lost in the mail. I called about the first 2 and they said they had a computer problem and needed to resubmit them. Now they say the $5 rebate card is "in the mail" ( for the past 2 weeks - yeah right ) but the other 2 are still "invalid" . Long story short it seems I'll never get the rebates.
One of them was invalidated because my purchase had a "discount" on it. They couldn't see the actual receipt but said every single item had been marked as having a discount. I had used $8 worth of store credit on a $140 purchase, but there's no reason a different form of payment should invalidate the 11% rebate. There is a chance something was on sale, but there was no indication of any discounts on the receipt and I'm pretty sure some items were not on sale. Bottom line, in either case menards would still give 11% on the full amount.
Has anyone else has good or bad luck with the home depot 11% rebate or is it just me?

My friend did many in the past without issue.
I'm not sure who used to do Home Depot's rebate processing before, but ever since they switched to Parago/BlackHawk Engagement my rebate submissions have been denied for no reason. I purchase in excess of $7500 per month and try to time my big purchases with the 11% rebate. Tracking and resubmitting rebates has become a part time job.
not receiving them
I called the Rebate Center several times I've been told the rebates are mailed by Bonnie
When I never received them I call again a month later then I'm told nothing qualifies
I've taking them to someone in management who also cannot get a straight answer
But I have figured it out my store carries around 65000 skus in other words products that have a SKU number
If you look at the excluded list it's hilarious 1106 pages approximately 60 skus per column two columns that would be well over a hundred and twenty thousand skus
No wonder we're not getting a rebate nothing is on the list Menards it is the whole receipt including the sale tax no exceptions no sales excluded no promotions excluded it's just straight up 11% of the entire receipt

I have 4 rebates in with them - spent over $5,000 on carpet and never have seen any rebated.
My advice to you is to keep shopping at Menards - they are great.
If you did not know - they will off an 11% rebate if you bought something the week before.
It is called the 11% Adjustment - you need to get this from a store manager.
Menards is great - Home Depot is very dishonest.
SHOP MENARDS!!!!!

Home Depot does not MATCH up to Menards. Same brand at Menards is better deal than Home Depot on my purchases.
Keep the Rebates coming.
the ones that get rejected say they were rejected for being filed outside of the 30 day window in which they are supposed to be submitted.... which is a lie since I always file within a few days of purchase. Since they offer no updates once they receive the submission you have no way of knowing unless you check it daily if something was wrong.
If you do more than one rebate make sure to write the tracking number on the receipt so you know which one it corresponds with
