These rebates pertain to Trans World Entertainment Corporation Stores (FYE, Coconuts, Strawberries Wherehouse, etc.).

These rebates normally last for 2 weeks from the date of release(Some have run for only one week). These rebates normally take 6 - 8 weeks and they're good because you can send in the UPC Price Sticker instead of the actual UPC (full details on sending in the rebate on the bottom of this post).

If you need to contact Parago for whatever reason, their phone # is 877-266-6483. Press #2 for non-Staples rebates. Then press "0" to get a CSR.

NEWSFLASH: It looks like the days of $10 MIR are gone and the rebates will now be $5 or $7. However, you can still get the deals if your store advertises pre-orders (in some ways this can be better because you save a littlel bit on tax). They probably did this because more people sent in their rebates than they expected as a result of bargain hunters like us in this thread. Therefore, if your TWEC store advertises pre-orders, I'd highly suggest pre-ordering your title so that you can get that advertised price.

It looks like FYE has separate rebate deals for pre-orders and non-pre-orders (e.g. for Kill Bill Vol. 2 there are separate $10 rebates for pre-orders and $5 rebates for non-pre-orders)


NOTE: The prices are normally good for the first week (i.e. through the first Saturday). The second week the price may rise. The last 2 days of the rebate (Last Sunday and Monday, the price will almost always rise $2 or so....e.g. titles that are $19.99 will rise to $21.99). That said, the earlier you buy the item, the better.

MY STEPS FOR SENDING IN YOUR REBATE (I've probably done close to 40 so far)
1. Fill out the rebate form and check off all products on the same receipt that are eligible for rebates.
2. Remove the UPC price stickers from the front of the DVD packaging and place them on a blank sheet of white paper and cut around the borders.
3. Fill out the envelope with a stamp.
4. Make 2 copies of the receipt (one to mail in, one for your records), a copy of the rebate form (both sides), a copy of the UPCs and a copy of the envelope
5. Get another sheet of blank white paper. Staple the left hand corner of the rebate form with your information facing up to the left hand corner of the sheet of paper. Cut out one copy of the receipt and tape that to the right hand side of the paper. Circle the prices of qualifying purchases and the date of the receipt. Tape the UPC Price Stickers to the bottom left hand of the white paper.
6. Make a copy of the white sheet of paper with all the rebate materials on it (write on it the day that you mail it out). Keep the copy for yourself
7. Place that original sheet (not the photocopy) in the stamped envelope and mail it out.

8. Parago, the rebate fulfillment company, will send you an e-mail once they receive your rebate submission which you can track at RebatesHQ.com (http://www.rebateshq.com).

9. Once you receive the rebates, make a copy of it/them and write on it/them the day that you received it and staple it to your copies for the rebate.


In regards to if rebates are applicable at all stores, this is db27's, a manager of a FYE store, response.
I would love to chime in! You spoke to Liam, who is ltrain here on the forums.

This is the definitive answer, no questions or issues this is how it is.

In transworld they have many store brands as you all know. Some of the stores run what are call FSI promotions (free-standing inserts) these generally apply to non-mall stores but some (few) are on the program as well. If you have a store near you that runs any type of flyer in the paper they are on the program.

As an example Stevevt, our Coconuts is on the FSI program, while neither fye in the Burlington area is. Thus promotions vary from one to the other.

Liam was correct to say that your fye reciept and the rebate form that you got from fye wouldn't work, because the store number on the fye reciept identifys us as a non-FSI store.

By doing the exchange and getting the Coconuts reciept you seal the deal and your rebates will successfully be redeemed.

Let me know if I can help out further.

Much thanks to misterchimpy for reporting the current week's rebate deals on Tuesday morning, lumberjack for his pre-order info, db27 for his inside info as a manager, and all others for their contributions to this thread

Good TWEC (FYE, Coconuts, etc.) Rebate Deals Part I (http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=346613)

"5/25: LOTR: The Return of the King: $22.99 + Tax - $10 MIR (Also, if you preorder it, it comes with a free mini Aragorn figure)"

Wow! That's a good deal. Couple that with the hopefully $5 rebate for the EE in the TE version, it's a steal.

Do you know when the preorder goes into effect?

Great info.

Bob

man, missed out on that Master and Commander 2 disc MIR. when I went to the wherehouse they only had the 1 disc showing. lame. that star wars rebate sounds solid, but I will most likely wait till release week to see if anyone elses prices are lower. thanks!

I can tell you that as of now preorders for LOTR ROTK will NOT include the figure of aragorn, we got an email that told us to cover up the signage that supported this giveaway and were told that they could cover the existing pre-orders only.

Perfect... just as Wherehouse starts to get in on the deals the last one near me closes shop. Perfect.

Also, if you buy the Scary Movie 1/2 pack (not sure on the price yet), you'll get an additional coupon for $5 off Scary Movie 3.

Strawberries

They raised the price on Last Samurai.(d'oh!)

Last Samurai 21.99 - $7 MIR = $14.99 + tax
Girl with a Pearl Earring 19.99- $7 MIR = $12.99 + tax
Peter Pan 19.99 - $10 MIR = 9.99 + tax
Calendar Girls 19.99 - $7 MIR = $12.99 + tax
Osbournes 2 1/2 21.99 = $7 MIR = $14.99 + tax
Chasing Liberty 17.99 after rebate(I think this price is wrong..,it is 19.99 before rebate)

Box Sets

Bernie Mac, S1 36.99 - $10 MIR = $26.99 + tax
Party of Five, S1 39.99 - $10 MIR = $29.99 + tax
Gilmore Girls, S1 44.99 - $10 MIR = $34.99 + tax

In addition, Peter Pan had an on pack sticker promoting $30 in free offers inside, including 'free cookies'. Also, Chasing Liberty had a take $5 off sticker when you purchase that and one of the following at the same time, In Laws, Divine Secrets of Ya Ya Sisterhood, 2 Weeks Notice, Miss Congeniality, or Oceans 11. Both looked like non store specific promotions.

Will FYE have any deals or rebates on Underworld unrated extended cut on May 25?

They raised the price on Last Samurai.(d'oh!)

Yup, noticed that the hard way this morning.

This week's rebates are (5/4/04 - 5/17/04)
The Last Samurai: $21.99 + Tax - $7 MIR Note: $19.99 was the pre-order price
Peter Pan: $19.99 + Tax - $10 MIR

Not only had the Master and Commander 2 disc gone up to $32.99 instead of the original week's 29.99, every package in the store had a sliced case within the plastic wrap. Maybe that's why your store doesn't have it anymore? I had my store special order my replacement 2 disc and hopefully will have it by the end of the week. Anybody else see this damage on the box?

Now I miss Coconuts . . . :(

I just got an email confirmation for The Cooler DVD Rebate, and it only said $8:

Rebate: $8.00 Rebate Check
Promotion: Up to a $10.00 Mail-In Rebate on Select Movie Titles
Submission Type: MAIL
Date Received: 05-05-2004
Status: Processing Rebate
Status Detail: Your rebate is valid and is in the final stages of processing. You should receive your rebate per the terms and conditions listed on the coupon.

Whats up with that? Anyone else's say the same thing?

Saw the same weirdness here. I sent in these rebates:

Kill Bill $10
Big Fish $7
WWE XX $8

The rebate for Kill Bill shows up as $10, but the rebates for Big Fish and WWE XX are only showing $7 and $5. Unfortunately, I can't tell which rebate is for a given DVD from the website, but I'm being shorted $3. What's the deal guys? Maybe I'll give them a call tomorrow if I get a chance.

FYE best not pull a switch.

After I bought the DVD I di dsee a sign in the store that showed The Cooler for $15.99 - $10.00 rebate = $5.99 final price.

I just got an e-mail notice for what looks like an $8 Cooler Rebate.

I had one e-mail for $7 (either Love Actually or Haunted Mansion), another $7 e-mail, than one for $8. I remember sending in the three rebates for Love Actually, Haunted Mansion, and The Cooler on the same day. It looks like they are only giving me $8 for The Cooler, too. Granted, a $7.99 price is still good but when it says on the rebate slip and signs all over the story a $10 rebate, it is quite irritating. Maybe it's just a goof in their system.

rebate is for ten bucks, you should contact customer service to resolve it.
sounds like a glitch.

I picked up WMXX and I didn't notice till I got home there was no UPC sticker on the wrapper. The problem is it is a thick case and I am not sure how to handle sending in the UPC code. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I also received an e-mail ststing "The Cooler" rebate was only for $8 - not $10. I already contacted them and they want me to e-mail or fax proof (the original rebate slip) stating the rebate is supposed to be for $10.

go back to the store and exchange it for a copy that has the UPC Price Sticker on it

Does anyone have a scan of the Cooler rebate form? I just don't think I'll make it back to the store to pick one up by the weekend...and I need it for the rebate correction.

Last Samurai was $21.99 at Coconuts and $20.99 at fye across the street in the mall (all before MIR) in Merrillville, IN.

Go figure.

I go to the Merrillville Coconuts all the time. Nice to see someone near here. I never really check fye... just going into the mall is bothersome.

Liquid Death,

I may be wrong but I do not think you may use a copy of a coupon. I believe you need an original from a store. You might want to call a store and inquire.

Perhaps someone could pick one up and mail it to you if they are going by a store anyway.

Nah, I just need a scan of one so I can email it to the rebate company to 'prove' it was a $10 rebate and not an $8 one. I've already submitted the rebate w/ an original form.

Why do you need proof? Didn't you already send the rebate form in which clearly states that it's a $10 rebate?

That is so lame of them. :thmbsdwn:

If they try to send me only an $8 rebate, I'm gonna give them hell.

I don't have a scan of the rebate form, but this is why you should always make copies of your rebate materials.

Thanks for the scans - hopefully those will do the trick :)

Kind of a slow week. BTW, my Cooler rebate also showed up as $8 instead of $10, I emailed them.

Strawberries

Scary Movie 3 19.99 + tax - $10 MIR
Godfather 14.99 + tax - $7 MIR

also, if you're interested in a cheapo DVD player, Strawberries had a "Coby" progressive scan player for $49.99 + tax - $30 MIR.

And I saw a sign for Cold Mountain 12.99 after MIR, shipping 6/29.

I got an $8 dollar Cooler confirmation too :(

I emailed them to complain, and have them fix the rebate to $10 as clearly stated on the form.

I am still waiting for a reply. They better not try to screw me on this.

This week's rebates (5/11/04 - 5/24/04)
Scary Movie 3: $19.99 + Tax - $10 MIR
In America: $21.99 + Tax - $7 MIR
Godfather I: $14.99 + Tax - $7 MIR
Independence Day LE (Comes with movie cash for a value of $6.50 off a matinee screening of The Day After Tomorrow): $14.99 + Tax - $7 MIR
Other rebates but I didn't see the price: Scary Movie 1 & 2 2-pack ($10 MIR), X-Files Season 9 ($10 MIR)

I picked up:

In America: $19.99-$7 rebate
Independence Day: $14.99-$7 rebate

I checked The Independence Day and noticed the movie cash said "$1.00." I'm not sure what to think of it. On every corner it says "Valid for one admission up to $6.50"

Do they mean that you have a chance of getting up to $6.50? And some may get less? I don't know... maybe I am reading it wrong.

I received my $10 rebate for Matrix Revolutions in the mail today. I always read that it takes a good three months to receive a rebate, but this arrived in just one month. Further thanks to db27 and Dabaomb for all of the info about these rebates.:)

My brother just picked up Scary Movie 3 for me and they charged him $21.99 I swear it was supposed to be $19.99 -10 MIR I'll call tomorrow........

I got a reply back from the Cooler rebate about the $8 asking to show proof and mail in all my rebate materials again. Are they serious? So, i emailed back and said just look at the form I already sent in!

Plus I said they should just make the correction already. They've already got a few inquiries about this error, and they'll get a lot more. From a customer service standpoint, they should just issue a correction and honor the $10 as stated instead of trying to avoid the issue with each individual customer.

I'm waiting for a reply to see what they say about that. I doubt they'll do anything, but I gotta bitch. I don't like being taken advantage of. ;)

Godfather for $8? I paid $25 when it first came out :(

I picked up ID4 today and noticed they had a preorder deal going with Miracle. When you preorder it, it looks like it comes with a big Miracle wall poster (at least the one in the store was a wall poster). Might be similar to the Kill Bill poster. I went ahead and preordered, big fan of the movie and would like a free poster.

I just called my local FYE and spoke with the supervisor. She just to bring it in and she would honor the rebate difference. I HATE being taken advantage of like that and wont stand for it. She gave me a $5 off my next purchase because I was furious I had to spend on gas to drive there besides wasting my time with something THEY printed and THEY SHOULD HONOR!

Hope my local Wherehouse is as nice if I have similar problems. This is one of the reasons why I hate rebates!

sorry that you had a bad time with this.

these rebates are not redeemed by twec directly they are are run through an outside vendor that does rebates for many other companys.

this Cooler issue should have been resolved in a bigger way, seeing as so many folks got the 8 rebate vs the 10.

what the manager did was very nice, and normally at the store level we are instructed to escalate it to the rebate company.

okay, here we go

location = transworld stores (fye, coconuts, strawberries, warehouse, etc) it's possible not all are partaking in this.

there are 4 discounts involved here

1 - must buy the Scary Movie 2 pack and Scary Movie 3 at the same time.

2 - the two pack has a ten dollar mail in rebate

3 - Scary Movie 3 also has a ten dollar mail in rebate

4 - on the Scary movie 2 pack (sticker) there is a $5 MIR from from the manufacturer.

5 - TWEC is offering a coupon in-store only that is for $5 off instantly when both the 2 pack and Scary Movie 3 are being purchased.

as of right now, my store is offering these at the following prices

Scary Movie 1 and 2 (packaged together) $22.99
Scary Movie 3 $19.99

so in theory you should leave the store paying $37.98 plus tax after receiving the instant $5 rebate.

you then have 3 rebates to mail out for a total of $25 dollars

grand total is $12.98 plus tax

This is the first time in the multitudes of rebates that I have participated in that they want to pay less than what the form says. Makes participating in their future rebates less appealing. They havent fixed the cooler issue. Today they processed mine at 8.00

i agree this Cooler rebate thing is troubling. i was really starting to use FYE alot on these rebate deals. i can understand a mistake but they are still trying to screw everyone that doesnt complain out of their 2 bucks. you need to send proof?? look at the rebate forms every customer must mail in with their rebate materials. its no longer a mistake but a scam.

Yeah, I sent them the scans and I got a reply back saying they had to 'research' my claim. Its been a week. How much research is involved in downloading the scans from my email and then reading? ;)

Yeah, this is preposterous. I might never shop at FYE(Strawberries) again because of this. It depends on how they handle it. I've just responded to their second reply, and am waiting for another response. They will not admit there is a problem. I cannot stand that mentality in our society, no one wants to admit a mistake anymore. :rolleyes:

Give us our 2 bucks already ya cheap bastids!!

I have an FYE store near me (Arundel Mills Mall) - does anyone know if they have the rebates there? I want that Scary Movie 3.

I've heard that there is a $30 rebate on the playstation 2 system, is this true ?

Will there be a rebate for Miracle?

rebates are valid from 5/18/04-5/31/04

Miracle $7
Paycheck $10
Sex and the City s6 pt1 $7
Torque $10
You got served $10
Great Excape SE $10
Good, the Bad & the Ugly $10

that is the rebate amount, pricing is downloaded yet.

I saw this last week and I think that it's still valid.

indeed, rebate for the ps2 is still good.

also a $30 rebate on the xbox system

both are $119.99 after MIR

6/15/04: 50 First Dates: $9.99 After MIR

FYE in Buffalo, NY has Star Wars for 49.99 with $15 rebate and Free life size Vader standee.

By the way, my local Strawberries has removed all of the stickers covering the free Aragorn with preorder of ROTK offer, so maybe they got more in stock?

I saw a sign for Tupac Resurrection(6/15) for $9.99 after MIR with a free poster with a preorder.

Also, I got my rebates for Sopranos Season 4, Matrix Regurgitated, and Kill Bill.

Strawberries

Miracle 19.99 + tax - $7 MIR
Sex and the City,S6 36.99 + tax - $7 MIR

19.99 + tax - $10 MIR

Paycheck
Torque
You Got Served
Great Escape
Good Bad + Ugly

I bought Paycheck and Miracle, but they only gave me one rebate form. It says to mail one rebate submission at a time. Has anyone sent to on the same rebate form?

The instructions say to send in the original receipt, so since both were purchased on the same receipt, you have to send them at the same time.

The old thread had several people who said they did this sucessfully. Has anyone NOT gotten their rebates when submitting at the same time?

I'm reposting something that I posted in the first FYE Rebate Deal thread.

I added this to the first post which I update on a weekly basis. It includes the current rebate deals and future rebate deals.


MY STEPS FOR SENDING IN YOUR REBATE (I've probably done close to 40 so far)
1. Fill out the rebate form and check off all products on the same receipt that are eligible for rebates.
2. Remove the UPC price stickers from the front of the DVD packaging and place them on a blank sheet of white paper and cut around the borders.
3. Fill out the envelope with a stamp.
4. Make 2 copies of the receipt (one to mail in, one for your records), a copy of the rebate form (both sides), a copy of the UPCs and a copy of the envelope
5. Get another sheet of blank white paper. Staple the left hand corner of the rebate form with your information facing up to the left hand corner of the sheet of paper. Cut out one copy of the receipt and tape that to the right hand side of the paper. Circle the prices of qualifying purchases and the date of the receipt. Tape the UPC Price Stickers to the bottom left hand of the white paper.
6. Make a copy of the white sheet of paper with all the rebate materials on it (write on it the day that you mail it out).
7. Place that sheet in the stamped envelope and mail it out.

8. Parago, the rebate fulfillment company, will send you an e-mail once they receive your rebate submission which you can track at RebatesHQ.com.

9. Once you receive the rebates, make a copy of it/them and write on it/them the day that you received it and staple it to your copies for the rebate.

The instructions say to send in the original receipt, so since both were purchased on the same receipt, you have to send them at the same time.

The old thread had several people who said they did this sucessfully. Has anyone NOT gotten their rebates when submitting at the same time? I always have the cashier ring up each DVD as a seperate transaction to avoid any possible complications whenever I buy more than one title .:)

So anyone get the rebate correct for the Cooler yet? Or heard back from them?

Dabaomb, the sticker on the front of the cover your refering to , is that the yellow and white price sticker with the price and barcode?Becouse the new rbate forms say original UPC symbol from the package not a photo copy.

I haven't received one. single. rebate. yet...

yes, that's exactly what I'm referring to. 90% of the time it's extremely easy to peel off. When it's not, just be more careful when peeling it off. Trust me, send that in with no worries. I've sent that in every single time (well other than my first FYE rebate)

Yeah, this is preposterous. I might never shop at FYE(Strawberries) again because of this. It depends on how they handle it. I've just responded to their second reply, and am waiting for another response. They will not admit there is a problem. I cannot stand that mentality in our society, no one wants to admit a mistake anymore. :rolleyes:

Give us our 2 bucks already ya cheap bastids!!

Followup: "I want my 2 dollars!" - The Paperboy in "Better Off Dead"

I went through a few emails with these clowns trying to get them to honor the $10 rebate for everyone and issue and apology, etc.

You think that worked? Of course not! :brickwl:

So, they will fight with you and will not admit there is a discrepancy or a problem with the rebate.

You will have to send them a scan of the rebate form again. You can also just send it back in an email reply to them. Someone posted a scan of it higher up in this thread, so just send that in.

After that they DID honor the $10 rebate, the next day. They just changed the $8 to $10 and it's now in process.

My new rebate status for The Cooler:

I'm not sure if I'm going to boycott these future rebates or not yet. I'll wait to see how long this actually takes to receive and I have the $10 check in hand.

Good luck!

I'll likely complain about The Cooler once I even receive notification...

Stopped in at a Wherehouse today (Glendora, CA) to see if I could get Paycheck for $10. However, they couldn't find any rebate forms for it so I left empty-handed. Was thinking of checking out another location, but it's kind of far and out of the way.

Grabbed Miracle (got a free poster, not as big as Kill Bill, more of a standard theatrical poster though it's not quite as wide as normal) and Paycheck (haven't seen it, but for $10 I'm not too worried).

When I sent in the rebate form I wrote on there that I'd heard they were not honoring the $10 stated on the form unless people complained so I was complaining in advance and expected to receive $10. They'll probably still be a dick just to teach me who has all the POWER.

At Wheaton, MD FYE Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, and Clear and Present Danger were $4.99 with any purchase. Although I'm not sure if this was meant to be for the special editions, but I picked up Great Escape and CAPD.

Is there any rebates or cool stuff at FYE next week for Return of the King?

$10 rebate ($12.99 net) plus Aragorn action figure.

Does anyone know if there will be a rebate this coming week for any of these titles and, if so, what the price will be?

Saving Private Ryan 2-DVD set
Underworld Director's Cut
Club Dread
Cruel Intentions 3

Just thought I'd put in a plug for Good Bad & Ugly...just picked it up yesterday, for $10 + tax after rebate this is a great deal. I didn't watch the whole thing yet, but from what I did see the print is a LOT better than the prior version that was out there(see the review section for more details). And they did a good job on the packaging too, with some movie postcards and a nice box. I'm usually pretty cynical about reissues(aren't we all???), but for $10 + tax this is well worth it.

Also, on ROTK, it looks like bestbuy.com will beat FYE, as they will have a $15.99 price with a $5 digital coupon if you preorder. Of course, you don't get Aragorn....

What did you use for an email address? The one that sent the automatic email notification? I ask because that email said specifically not to reply to that address.

Thanks.

I just got my $8 Cooler rebate notification too. Very weird since no other dvd ever was for $8. Theyare all either for $10 or $7. I expect someone entered it wrong in the computer and the processors have no say about it. With all of us complaining you would think someone would have fixed it by now!

ROTK - Good!

GBU - Bad!

Anyhow, I think I end will up even since I gained $3 on ROTK and lost $3 on GBU. I'll post back when I get to my local Wherehouse.

I took the day off from work today (actually, I'm off for 2 weeks to study for my CFA exam).

Neways, LOTR-ROTK is $19.99 + Tax - $10 MIR @ FYE as well. However, each store got like 8-10 Aragorn figurines so if you didn't get there as soon as they opened, they were probably out and they gave you the poster instead.

I believe that Buffy Season 6 was $44.99 + Tax - $10 MIR

Show: A Night in the Life of Matchbox Twenty: $22.99 + Tax - $7 MIR (at Coconuts, it was $12.99 after MIR....I can't remember if it was $22.99 - $10 MIR of if it was $19.99 - $7 MIR but it was probably the latter)

Another deal is if you buy all 3 theatrical editions, there's a $30 MIR; if you buy ROTK and either FOTR or the TTT, there's a $20 MIR (I don't remember the prices on FOTR or TTT)

I couldn't find Cheers Season 3 or Frasier Season 3 in the store so I don't know how much they are other than they have a $10 MIR

As others have reported, at both FYE & Coconuts as they're advertising The Hunter for Red October, Clear & Present Danger, and Patriot Games for $4.99 with any purchase. It's supposed to be the old non-anamorphic editions which had a price drop to $9.99 but the advertisement shows the new CE's which had a price drop to $14.99. I ended up getting THFRO & Patriot Games cuz they didn't have any Patriot Games CEs.

As always, I'll update the first post with all deals

I got ROTK for $19.99 with $10 rebate but when I asked about the figures I was told they were for PRE-orders only, no poster mentioned either.

FYE in Tysons (and I'm sure everywhere else) has Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the remake) single disc for $6.99 after $10 mail-in rebate.

The $10 rebate also applies to either the fullscreen or widescreen version of Rundown, but I didn't notice what the sticker price was on that one.

ROTK was $9.99 after rebate, and I got the teeny-tiny Aragorn figure. However, I did pre-order the DVD.

Now I just hope they accept these rebates. They've not processed a few of mine that I've submitted.

Also, The Good, Bad, & Ugly was still $9.99 after rebate at my FYE.

At the Wherehouse in Redwood City, CA:

ROTK was $9.99 after rebate, no mention of poster or figurine. In fact, they ran out of rebate forms and the manager had to print one out for me from the back office computer.

GBU was out of stock. Computer showed $27.99 before rebate but I question that because the cashier had no clue about the $10 rebate. They told me they would probably get some on Friday. I'll call before I go to confirm price and rebate form availability.

Happy hunting!

i bought Good-Bad-Ugly for 19.99 on monday, they had to dig out the rebate slip for me but i got it.

Buffy season 6 is 39.99 on the FYE website, has everybody seen it in stores at this price or the 44.99 previously mentioned?

Buffy 6 was $44.99 at my FYE. GBU was still $19.99. Need to go back and buy that!

Thanks for the pricing info on GBU this week. I'll definitely try to get the $19.99 price when I call them Friday (when they said they'd have more stock).

Does anyone here shop at any of FYE's in the Fort Worth area? Because I have never seen any rebates for any of the dvds that have a rebates. And everytime I've gone to FYE none of the employees know what I'm talking about. If they don't have them at these stores is the a place I download the rebates for the dvds.

Thanks

Does anybody know if a household is allowed to send in 2 separate rebates for the same title?

I want to pick up a copy of GBU for a friend but don't want them to deal with the rebate hassle.

The ROTK form says this:

"limit twelve (12) individual titles per family or address".

What I'm not sure about is since this rebate form also is for SPR, Welcome to Mooseport, Buffy, Cheers and other LOTR titles, I'm wondering if it's one of each title or could you buy multiples of a single title and still claim the rebates for each one.

I would assume that the GBU form says something similar if it's a multiple title rebate.

All of last week's rebates and prices were still good at my FYE today. Not price hikes on GE and GBU. YMMV of course...

Do we know the rebates for next week? Now that i got my first one back , I'm even more interested in these deals.

Anyone find Mooseport in widescreen at FYE? The ones around here only have full.

About how long does it take to receive the confirmation e-mail from the rebate company after sending your rebates in?

I've checked my local FYE and Coconuts -- both only ordered Full Screen for some reason. :(

When I asked the manager at FYE this morning why she only had full screen for Mooseport she replied full screen dvd's were what her customers preferred.

As I gazed at the new selection displays I imagine were filled not long ago I saw completely full displays of full screen but the widescreen selections such as LOTR seem to be more empty.

Could she have been <b> "LYING" </b> to get a sale? Hmmmm

I did not bite!

One thing to keep in mind on ROTK, if you were going to buy the Extended Edition Box Set(which will have a $10 refund offer when it is released later this year, if you bought the theatrical version as well) is that with the 9.99 price AR, you can essentially get this version for free after paying a little sales tax. If you buy the extended edition version without the toy, you can still get a $5 rebate. On the prior rebates, you didn't need your receipt from the theatrical version, but you did need to cut the proof of purchase tab off...

Anyone got a heads up on tomorrow's eligible rebate titles/prices? I'm especially interested in Dukes of Hazzard and Flight of the Naviagator...

Thanks!

Did anyone get the Great Escape? The box is cardboard and I don't want to cut out the SKU and it says original only. Any experience with this?

Also:

I bought the three versions of Scary Movie, but my deal wasn't as good as promised cuz there was no additional in-store discount and the SM3 was $2 more than stated in this thread.

Anyway, I see a sticker on the back of 3 I can send in. I can't tell if 1&2 have similar stickers since they are shrink wrapped with their asses together. Anyone know?

These prices are generally also good at Coconuts, YMMV at FYE, though the rebate form is generally the same one.

Generally, a good week for prices, mediocre content week. Spiderman and Pitch Black include movie tickets to respective sequels, those don't appear to be retailer specific. Also, a new preorder this week, Bad(der) Santa, 6/22/04, $9.99 AR includes free t shirt with preorder.

9.99 +tax AR

Eurotrip(Unrated) 19.99 + tax - $10 MIR
Spiderman(3 Disc) 19.99 + tax - $10 MIR(note: includes Spiderman 2 movie ticket, up to $12 value,expires 7/30/04)
My Baby's Daddy 19.99 + tax - $10 MIR

12.99 + tax AR

Monster 19.99 + tax - $7 MIR
The Company 19.99 + tax - $7 MIR
Catch That Kid 19.99 + tax - $7 MIR
Pitch Black 19.99 + tax - $ 7 MIR(note: includes Chronicles of Riddick movie ticket,good 6/11-6/27/04,up to $10.50 value)

Dukes of Hazzard, S1 32.99 + tax - $10 MIR

Is there any way to find out what the rebate deals are at FYE on a weekly basis without actually going to the store? I looked on the FYE website but didn't see anything.

About how long from the email did you get your rebate?

Just a confirmation that the Deluxe Spider-man set is $19.99 with a $10 rebate at FYE. Other deals for 6/1 at FYE direct from the form are:

Catch that Kid ($7)
The Company ($7)
Dukes of Hazard S1 ($10)
Eurotrip - 3 versions ($10)
Monster ($7)
Monster/Aileen 2pk ($7)
My Baby's Daddy ($10)
Pitch Black Director's Cut - 2 versions ($7)

Wow, I really haven't posted for a while. I've been too busy to check the boards. Hope all of you have been doing well!

You're right, it is a $10 rebate on My Baby's Daddy, for a total of $9.99 + tax AR, nitwits at local Strawberries had it mismarked.

Also, Spiderman movie ticket expires 7/30/04 and is good for one admission up to $12 value. Riddick ticket is good 6/11/04-6/27/04 up to $10.50 value. New material doesn't look too compelling though...

On Spidey or Riddick? Since I'll spend $7 on the ticket and there's a $10 MIR, I may just pick up the three disc and sell the two disc, but if the new extras aren't all that, I might just save myself the hassle.

Got my $8 rebate for the Cooler today. This is despite at least eight emails, two of which contained both scans of the rebate form. Hopefully other people will fare better - it just upsets me it took SOOOOO many emails (and time) to end up still getting the wrong rebate amount.

Thanks. I knew I'd read something but it was many pages ago and I didn't want to go back through. If I'd only guessed it was the first post. -ohbfrank-

Grabbed Spiderman and Eurotrip. Even though I already own the 2 disc Spidey, getting the additional disc and the $10 mail in rebate and the movie ticket made it more than worth it in my mind.

I received my Cooler rebate today, and got an $8 check AND a $2 check. I sent them a scanned copy of my rebate slip, and while I never heard back through my e-mail, they did rectify it by giving me the $2 check. Hopefully the people who responded will get the $2 check to balance it out.

I got my Cooler rebate in 2 checks as well, thanks again to daa027 for posting the scan!

In terms of the extra material on Spidey, it looks like the regular 2 disc edition, with an extra disc of about half a dozen featurettes(costume design, etc), theatrical teaser trailer of Spidey 2, and a preview(probably a few levels) of the Spiderman 2 video game. For Pitch Black, they had a few features to fill in the back story(presumably to set up the next movie as well), preview of the video game, and preview of an animated Riddick movie. Anyway, mostly ads of various sorts, if you're going to see the movie anyway, depending on what movie tickets cost, you can probably 'trade up' for a few dollars net. I would have been more interested in 'upgrading' Pitch Black(a great Alien rip-off), but the list of stuff didn't excite me there either.

2 new upcoming rebates:
6/29/04: Barbershop 2: Back In Business: $19.99 + Tax - $10 MIR (Free poster with pre-order)
7/20/04: Starsky & Hutch (2004): $19.99 + Tax - $10 MIR

Thanks for the info. I think I'll pick up S&H to go with that poster Jackskeleton promised to send six months ago!

I had the same problem with my rebates. I had to fax them the original coupon as well as e-mail them scans of the coupon (thanks guys). I think in my case they confused the WWE XX DVD set with the other WWE DVD that week, so I was shorted $3. I was told I'd get another rebate check for that amount since the others were already processed.

There customer service definitely seems a little lacking, and they don't communicate anything to one another. I guess they don't make notes in their system. Just persist and it should be corrected eventually. I'm glad I kept everything.

6/22/04: Reno 911 (season one) $19.99 + tax - $10 MIR (bonus item, if any, unknown at this time)
8/3/04: Hidalgo $19.99 + tax - $10 MIR (bonus item, if any, unknown at this time)
8/10/04: Kill Bill vol. 2 $19.99 + tax - $10 MIR (bonus item, if any, unknown at this time)

And some other tidbits:
Home on the Range (Disney) due out 9/14/04 (no price or rebate information available as of 6/2/04)
Elf due out 11/2/04 (no price or rebate information available as of 6/2/04)
and…
The extended edition of LOTR: Return of the King shows to cost $29.99 (no rebate info available) and my FYE clerk, who is very knowledgeable, had read that it's coming in September. He himself is waiting for that title, so his claim may have merit.

I got a confirmation e-mail about The Cooler the other day. My rebate was also marked as $8. I e-mailed customer service right away with a scan of the rebate form, and my rebate information was corrected within an hour of my original e-mail being sent.

Very cool. This is a hilarious show, and for $10 there's no way I'll be able to pass it up!

I know there's supposed to be a rebate on Mystic River next week. Does anyone know if the deluxe Mystic River will have a rebate (I would assume so) and what the price before/after rebate may be?

One new one:
7/6/04: The Butterfly Effect: $19.99 + Tax - $10

I went to pre-order Tupac Resurrection & Badder Santa today and got a peak at tomorrow's rebate form. It's slim pickings:
Along Came Polly: $7 MIR ($19.99 + Tax - $7 MIR)
Mystic River Single Disc: $7 MIR ($19.99 + Tax - $7 MIR)
Mystic River 3 Disc SE: $7 MIR (My guess is that it'll be $29.99 + Tax - $7 MIR)
A-Team: 10 MIR (I don't know the price)

City of God will be $21.99 but it has no MIR.

I saw the sign for Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) Single Disc for $16.99 + Tax - $10 MIR.

I also saw a sign for The Rundown: $22.99 + Tax - $10 MIR ( I don't know when either of those rebates end)

Has anyone gotten confirmation for the Miracle or Paycheck rebates yet?? Mine were sent in like two weeks ago, and I still haven't received an email notice yet.

Too bad about the week, I wanted a mail in rebate offer on Field of Dreams and a better price for Mystic River 3 discer.

That's funny you should say that, I haven't gotten any news on Paycheck either. However, my Saving Private Ryan one is already up. They better not lose the other, the only reason I got the movie was because it was only 9.99 A.R.

Passion of the Christ(8/31) is 9.99 AR for preorders.

Here's a few other deals, by the way, wasn't the preorder price on Along Came Polly $9.99 AR? So, on some of these titles it may be worth it to make the preorder to guarantee the price.

$15 rebate, ACP + 1 other Ben Stiller title

This is another FYE rebate. I don't know whether this can be combined with their standalone ACPolly rebate, local store was clueless. If they are combinable, it would actually be a pretty good deal.

Buy Along Came Polly and 1 of the following titles and get a $15 mail in rebate: Zoolander, Keep the Faith, Reality Bites, Duplex, Ben Stiller Show, Meet the Parents, There's Something About Mary

$5 Mystic River + 1 other Clint Eastwood title

This does NOT appear to be FYE specific, it is an on pack sticker. However, only some of the DVDs that I saw had the sticker(and presumably the mail in form), so if you are interested in this, look for the sticker. Also not sure whether this can be combined with the FYE rebate, but probably can.

Buy Mystic River and 1 of the following titles and get a $5 mail in rebate, Bloodwork, Unforgiven, Sudden Impact, Bridges of Madison County, Perfect World, Outlaw Josey Wales.

Also, A Team,S1 was $42.99 + tax with a $10 MIR

How long from the email notice does it take to get your rebate? I got the email for Big Fish about 4-5 wks ago, but nothing since.

Im not sure how long it takes but it will show as mailed w/ a date.

Got my $8 rebate for the Cooler today. This is despite at least eight emails, two of which contained both scans of the rebate form. Hopefully other people will fare better - it just upsets me it took SOOOOO many emails (and time) to end up still getting the wrong rebate amount.

Be thankful you got a rebate at all. I mailed mine in on 05/06/2004 and never got confirmation. I fear they may have cancelled the rebate over the confusion of the rebate amount. Sucks.

No confirmation yet for either of the two copies of Miracle I had purchased. I did get confirmation last week for my Good, Bad, and Ugly, which I submitted the same day as the Miracles.

The Along Came Polly rebate form says to send in the original UPC bar code. Looks like photocopies are no longer taken now.

it's been confirmed by many many ppl including myself over 40 times that you can send in the UPC Price sticker on the front for the UPC requirement.

Even with this rebate form explicitly saying "No photocopies accepted"?

I always send in the sticker on the shrink wrap and my rebates always arrive. Its an original UPC symbol and not a photocopy anyway.

BTW, those getting ripped off on the Cooler rebate just need to take the dvd, with receipt, back to the store. They advertised the $10 rebate so they have to honor it. I am guessing the store will handle it for you.

It looks like they processed my two Miracle rebates yesterday, along with a couple of $10 ones....probably LOTR:ROTK and Eurotrip, I'm guessing. (Or maybe one of the $10 ones is my Cooler rebate. I'll cross my fingers, but I won't hold my breath.)

Anyone get confirmation on their rebate for "Show: A Night in the life of Matchbox Twenty"? I sent it out at the same time as 'Club Dread' and they recieved that over a week ago. I think it was sent to a different address than club dread. Also, of the 5 or 6 rebates I've sent I always put my email address and only ever recieved one email from them which is odd.
Thanks!

I'm tempted to take the plunge for 24 Season 1 & 2, $19.99 each after MIR. That's over $40 cheaper than I could find anywhere else.

The store clerk was surprised that the sale started already. He thought that the deal went into effect on Tuesday. He said that he had them already but I told him to get more for gifts.

Neways, it's definitely $14.99 + Tax - $5 MIR.

You can send all 3 on the same rebate form as long as you purchased them all on the same receipt.. Just check off each box for each corresponding item, then mail it out. You can use the UPC price sticker for the UPC and a photocopy of your receipt. Make copies of all your rebate materials for your records and in case there is a problem.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Look I did this once and they sent me 1 rebate when I checked off 2. The lady gave me 3 forms and 3 receipts but it says REPRINT receipt and the form says ORIGINAL recepit must be submitted. Now what do I do If I want to send individually? Watch them not take REPRINT recepit because it says REPRINT. Then I get screwed again or should I sent all 3 on 1 form and take a chance

According to the flier in this morning's paper, Coconuts has either season of 24 for $39.99 less $20.00 MIR.

Additionally,

LOTR:TTT EE $24.99 after $10 MIR
Scarface: DE $24.99 after $25 MIR
Rockey Gift Set $29.99 after $20 MIR
The Honeymooners 39 Classic Eps $29.99 after $20 MIR

Very tempting for 24 then. Is that deal for the 11th through the 19th as well?

Also that's disappointing that there is no deal on the Simpsons season 4. I'm surprised about that. Or was that just one that was missed as well?

cmon man what receipt do I use?

24 Season 2 is $59.99 - $20 MIR at FYE as of 6-13, 1 PM central. I had him scan it. $69.99 - $10.00 IR.

The sale runs 6/13 through 6/19.

Asking the same question multiple times in multiple threads isn't gonna get you the answer any faster. I'm not at my computer 24 hours a day.

This is what I posted in the Simpsons thread:
I must've answered every one of these questions in my thread at least 100 times.

Read the TWEC Rebate Deal Thread that I maintain for details. The first post is always updated. I even posted a 9-step process in sending out the rebate form.

1) You can use the price sticker UPC instead of the real UPC
2) You can used the real receipt, a photocopy of the receipt, or a register reprint of the receipt.
3) You can use one rebate form for all of your items (Damien, I don't know why yours wasn't approved but if you made copies of them, a simple e-mail/phone call would've fixed the problem cuz you could've faxed it to them).

Look, if you guys don't believe me, then don't believe me, just don't ask the same question again and again and again. Remember, reading is fundamental, which means read through some of the thread before you ask the same question again.

**MAKE COPIES OF EVERYTHING BEFORE SENDING REBATES IN**

Note: I don't work at FYE, I just buy tons of DVDs there (pretty much at least one every week cuz of the rebate deals). I've done over 50 rebate deals thus far and many of them were done on the same rebate form.

Sort of OT, but Coconuts (and probably Strawberries) has the Game Boy Advance SP for $99.99 with a $30 MIR ($69.99 total) today through Wednesday. This includes standard colors plus the new NES version. Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone's in the market and going there for DVD's. Cheapest I've seen for a GBA.

And yes, I know this is a DVD forum, so hold the pomposity.

Here are some additional deals from the Strawberries/Coconuts ad. I'm pretty sure the boxset deals are the same at FYE, ymmv on the others.

50 First Dates: Get a $15 MIR when you purchase this and 1 other Adam Sandler DVD. See store for details. Don't know whether this can be combined with $10 MIR noted above.

Box Sets

Note: these are in addition to those already posted.

Simpsons, S4 36.99, Free Simpsons Bottle Opener with Purchase
(this 'sells' for $6.99 separately, it plays about a 10 second loop of Homer)
Indiana Jones 59.99 + tax - $20 MIR
Godfather 69.99- $20 MIR
Sopranos, S4 79.99-$20 MIR
Band of Brothers 99.99-$20 MIR
Curb Your Enthusiasm,S2 29.99

Also, not in the ad, but in store were numerous other box set rebates.

Alien $69.99 + tax - $20 MIR
Best of Ed Sullivan $10 MIR
Complete Mr. Bean $10 MIR
Family Guy 1+2 $10 MIR
Friends,S6,S7 $10 MIR
In Living Color, S1 $10 MIR
Johnny Carson Collection $20 MIR
Monster Legacy Collection $20 MIR
South Park, S3 $10 MIR

9.99

I think these are Strawberries, Coconuts specific, ymmv. These aren't that great anyway.

There's Something About Mary
Major League
The Natural
Blade
Deep Impact
MI 2(2 for $15 at CC this week)
We Were Soldiers

The first post is completely updated with all the current deals. If I left anything out or made any mistakes, please post or PM me and I'll fix it ASAP.

Some people who were denied rebates on Simpsons 1-3 at FYE mentioned something about a rebate on Season 4. Does anyone know exactly how much that rebate is for?

to my knowledge, there is no rebate for season 4. The only incentive for season 4 is the Homer Simpson Talking Bottle Opener.

Simpsons 4 doesn't appear on the regular rebate form for this week. It is possible that it's on a separate rebate form but unlikely since it's not advertised in the flyer with a rebate.

OK. I got an $8 rebate for The Cooler on Saturday. They got my first name wrong, so I guess that's why I was unable to confirm it online. However, even entering the incorrect name and my zipcode provides no tracking info. I'm gonna contact them about my $2, but for now I am just thankful I got the $8.

For anyone that sent a rebate for Show: Night in the life of Matchbox twenty (or any on the same rebate form) Could you give me the promotion code? I think its the number in the address to send the rebate to.

"Promotion code is located on the rebate form and starts
with 03- or 04- followed by five numbers"
Thanks

Thanks for keeping the TWEC info up to date for us!

I received only $8.00 for my Cooler rebate Saturday. Looks like a trip to FYE's.

Yeah, it seems prices and rebate availability are varying between stores and location. I just talked to an FYE employee who said he had other people ask him about the $5 simpsons MIR and had read about it on a message board but their store had nothing for it. Also their price for 24 season 2 was 59.99 - 20 MIR=39.99 as oppsed to someone elses store who had posted $19.99 after MIR. Gettin' confusing, lol!

Strawberries

Simpsons Season 4, 36.99+tax - $10 MIR
Nip 'n' Tuck, S1 44.99 + tax - $10 MIR
Curb Your Enthusiasm,S2 29.99 + tax - $10 MIR

By the way, I got a peek at the preorder list while ordering Badder Santa, virtually every new release for the next few months(except multiple box sets, special editions etc) is 19.99 - $10 MIR, at least on a preorder basis.

at FYE in NYC (Rockefellar Center), Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 2 was $32.99 + Tax - $10 MIR

Once again, first post will be updated.

d'oh, my mistake!

Strawberries

Nip 'n' Tuck,S1 44.99 + tax - $10 MIR
Curb Your Enthusiasm,S2 29.99 + tax - $10 MIR

also all 4 of the seasons of the Sopranos were 79.99 + tax -$20 MIR each.

I looked but couldn't find it anywhere in the store. Also, it wasn't on the rebate form. I really wanted it too...

Originally posted by Ghostface180

$19.99 in NYC.

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned but I didn't see it on the first post. They've extended the rebates for Kill Bill, Vol 1. and the Last Samurai (FF & WS) until 06/30/2004. Each movie is $19.99 + tax ( minus $10 rebate ). If you missed out last month, get in now. :)

They put out Spartan today at my local Coconuts. It was $17.99 there.

In regards to if rebates are applicable at all stores, this is db27's response, a manager of a FYE store.
I would love to chime in! You spoke to Liam, who is ltrain here on the forums.

This is the definitive answer, no questions or issues this is how it is.

In transworld they have many store brands as you all know. Some of the stores run what are call FSI promotions (free-standing inserts) these generally apply to non-mall stores but some (few) are on the program as well. If you have a store near you that runs any type of flyer in the paper they are on the program.

As an example Stevevt, our Coconuts is on the FSI program, while neither fye in the Burlington area is. Thus promotions vary from one to the other.

Liam was correct to say that your fye reciept and the rebate form that you got from fye wouldn't work, because the store number on the fye reciept identifys us as a non-FSI store.

By doing the exchange and getting the Coconuts reciept you seal the deal and your rebates will successfully be redeemed.

Let me know if I can help out further.

Does this vary by location? I called the local Coconuts (Cary, NC) and was told season 2 is $59.99 (on sale from $69.99) - same deal as FYE. I don't get the flyer so I cannot check it myself.

it may vary by location. The NYC region flyer had it priced like this.

Try calling up that store again and asking them if they have an advertisement for this week and to see if it's priced at $39.99 in the ad. If they don't have the ad, ask if it's possible to scan the item because you were told that it was on sale for $39.99.

$19.99 + Tax - $10 MIR

If you pre-order it (I think by Saturday or Sunday), you get a free t-shirt when you pick up the DVD.

I called another store but they were sold out and couldn't check the price (computer down). They both told me that their ad prices end Wednesday, and the first guy seemed rather surprised that season 1 was still on sale.

I also got only $8 back for the Cooler dvd. I sent email to rebateshq.com and also fye.com to complain. I had also faxed them the form when I originally got the email. Anybody get the full $10 yet?

Someone claimed to have gotten an $8 check along with a seperate $2 check. I am in the exact same boat as you-I faxed them the rebate form and I still only received the $8 rebate check.:(

I had faxed them the form right after I got the email. Emailed today, got a "canned" response to fax them the form. I replied that I had done that already and they replied back that it takes 7 weeks for them to process the faxes. It only took a couple week s to process the original submission!
