Default Re: Walgreens July Rebates

Rebates are like taxes. Nobody knows the real answers not even customer service/IRS. So, you do what makes sense to you. Fill out the forms the way you think they should be filled out (often to your advantage, but not unreasonably so). Then, make a copy and submit. Most of the time you'll get the rebate. If you don't, give them a call and make your case. It's much easier to "say you're sorry" (oh, I didn't know that coupons didn't count) than "get permission" (if you were a customer service rep. who didn't know the answer, which side would you err on?) BTW, since Walgreens lists all of the manufacturer coupons at the bottom, much of this can be avoided by buying more than FAR items. (Let's face it, it's not that hard, some of their sale items are pretty good too.) That way the people processing the rebates have no way of knowing which items you used coupons for.
