Online Rebates

Monday, 13 Jun 2005 | Raves

I really don't like preparing and mailing rebates. I like getting the refend check, but often the preparation can be frustrating. You typically need a copy of the receipt, a UPC label off the product, a fully filled out rebate form, an envelope and a stamp. That doesn't include a trip to the post office to drop off the envelope.

Well, I was very pleased to find out that the rebate for the new 5.8 Mhz Panasonic Cordless Phone System I bought at Costco could be taken care of online. You just go to their home page and click on rebates. Then you provide your membership number, a few codes off the receipt and your personal info and you're done. Kudos to Costco for making a tedious task much quicker and easier. I welcome other retailers providing this convenience. :)

I think Staples offers this too. Isn't it great? I love online rebates.

Yes, it is great. I didn't know about Staples, but it is nice to know. The funny thing is, I received an email from Costco saying they couldn't find all the info needed to process the rebate online, so I'm going to have to send it in by mail after all. *sheesh*
