I have resigned with TWEC and no longer will be updating this thread. Hope you found it helpful.


HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR REBATE

**keep in mind the new choice program, once a rebate has been submitted successfully you can take a gift card for an extra $3 instead!!! wicked sweet deal imo**

1. remember one rebate slip per envelope, if more than one title appears on the receipt you are fine as that counts as one submission

2. print neatly on the slip, do NOT stick an address sticker to the forum, do NOT use a PO box as the return address

3. print mailing address on envelope exactly as it appears on the slip, include all the numbers and such.

4. use the yellow "our price" sticker, it is FINE, trust me, if you are rejected this has NOTHING to do with it. you may also cut the UPC off the box, or sometimes it may have a sticker over the original. IN ALL CASES make sure the UPC number (12 digits) matches the one on the reciept.

5. PHOTOCOPY EVERYTHING, this will protect you in the case of an error at the rebate house.

6. Staple the reciept marked "rebate reciept" to both the rebate forum, and the UPC symbol (I like to use bright post it paper so that it jumps out at them) Remember these people hand open these things, and often times things fall out, if stapled you insure they are all together.

7. be patient, if you have done all that I suggest you will be fine. i don't bother to track this on the web but you may, I personally like the surprise of $7 bucks finding the way into my mail on occasion.

Does the Buy 2 Get 1 Free Promo work on sale items?

rmick

Does this work in-stores? Or are the price the same?

Sorry if this is in another thread.

punit

Any other coupons for f.y.e ?

db27

it is select titles, and most are regular priced.

db27

these are all in store, online deals often vary from these.

Trevor

Any bonus poster, exclusives DVDs, or anything similar?

darmok

hi, was there a thread before this one dedicated to FYE mail-in rebates? i'm trying to look for it, but can't seem to locate it. specifically, i'm interested in the rebates (if any) for recently released titles within the last month or two. thanks!

abintra

Get 25% more for store credit when selling/trading used in.

Is that just a generic promotion going on currently or certain conditions apply?

asianxcore

I think that's standard. Of all the times I've been there they usually give 25% more if you opt store credit over cash.

I could be wrong though.

C_Fletch

They did not get any Robocops at my FYE location although I didn't think they would. Just a FYI for those interested.

db27

Always the case

db27

Only thing right now is the exclusive 2 Disc Version of Vacancy, nothing else I'm aware of.

Blades of Glory will come with a iron-on patch next week.

Posters are (were) available for Flash Gordon

db27

I did have an old thread, however the rebate information was only left up for the 2 weeks while they are valid.

Typically most of the new release titles have some rebate associated with them from $5 to $10 though most commonly instore they are $7.

Trevor

Thanks! It seems like perhaps you work at a FYE.

Would you like to volunteer to be our weekly source of exclusives there?

db27

Indeed, well I work at a Coconuts and will be glad to post any and all things we get as GWPs and exclusives (same stuff as fye gets). I try to when it's something worth it, but often it's just silly!

Trevor

Thanks! But I'm afraid we like silly too. Some of us ocd completists have been trying to track every store exclusive for the last few years. We do a pretty good job, but have long needed a TWEC insider to help us keep things totally complete.

Some FYE related questions if anyone can answer... (Sorry if this doesn't belong here)

1) If FYE has a DVD set for X price online will it be the same price in store? Heroes (HD-DVD) is $69.99 online and I'm wondering if their B&M stores will reflect the same price

2) How is the budget shipping via FYE.com? I'm trying to decide whether the Heroes set online or in-store. There is a 10% off coupon I am thinking of using online.

db27

Fair enough, well check back here and i'll post even the sillyness or direct me to a place where you would rather get the info.

db27

answer to 1 is no, they are not the same in store and online almost ever.

can't answer 2 though.

Bezerker

Budget shipping is usually just a bubble wrap mailer thats insides are completely adhesive (so the case sticks to it) and the area that you open the mailer goes straight through the middle of the dvd (most retarted mailers ever).

Not sure what they do for bigger orders or boxsets, i usually only order 1-2 dvds at a time and ive always gotten the crappy mailers.

asianxcore

Thanks for the help guys.

I guess I'll keep my hopes up that FYE will have Heroes (HD-DVD) at least a little cheaper than $99 next week. I put down a pre-order there recently since I had around $50 in credit to use.

Hi, db27.

Can you help us out over at the anime bargins thread? We need some more information mentioned in Bezerker's post about a sale that's going on pertaining to some anime titles:

Anything you can find out would help a lot. Thanks.

JustAn0th3rFace

thank you

kenbenobi

They had a bonus disc for 300, but it likely is no longer available... YMMV
