DVD Talk Special Edition
Sent my order in early December - called just now and i'm not even in the system. They're doing what's called a 'call tag' to research and should know more in 3-4 days.
*sigh*
This is frustrating because it's not like I have the UPC on the box anymore to be able to send it in...

This seems to rule out most internet purchses of the BD player, even from Amazon. Is this something from a new rebate form, a real restriction or what? Amazon has a link to the rebate PDF that states this.
I'd like a good price on the player but I would also like the free discs. Have any of you others made an internet purchase of your player?

Unbelievable...sounds like they're jerking everyone around. All I know is, I'm supposedly CONFIRMED in their system and it's being processed. Umm 2 months of processed. I'm going to give them a call in a week or so to see if it's still "in processing."

I'm fed up with this overall. I have yet to get the 5 free HD DVDs from last year either.

This whole rebate bit is a sham and should really have been empasized much less in the promotion of both Blu-Ray and HD-Dvd. My Blu-Rays were also lost in the mail and after waiting the mandatory 30 days to request a second shipment I too have to wait another 4-6 weeks for them to pack up and ship out the replacements for the first lost shipment. So 3 months after I should have gotten my movies I just might see them? How fucking fair is this?

They're trying to rip everyone the fuck off. They don't try and notify you of processing etc. ah wait why should they notify you....it's FREE they plainly don't give a shit. What's the point of asking for an email address if they don't take the time to send you a notice that it's shipped etc.
A tip would be call them if you haven't already and confirm your shipping address so you have clarification they put it down right. When I called, the bitch said "you're not in the system , oh wait let me try something else"..."here you are" blah blah blah and confirmed my info.
This is definitely the hardest rebate I've ever had to endure. I guess we should just wait it out and hang in there. All I know is the BB RZ program has a smoother process time for points than Buena Vista.

i, too, am a bit frustrated with this rebate. for god sakes, microsoft (of all companies) has already sent my $100 rebate for their "best. friday. deal." this was a black friday deal that i did not send in until the second week of december.

I was surprised to get mine today. I think I mailed it on 12/20. I was expecting the HD DVDs I mailed over a month before. I got all 5 of my choices and all of them were completely untouched, no UPC slashes or anything.

Well I figured I'd give this tread its weekly bump. I've been waiting for these for well over two months. I figured I'd call today and see if it is still "in processing." Surprisingly it put me right through to a representative. She said they shipped the 31st of January. Good news to say the least. She said allow 3-4 weeks to receive. I'd say I should be getting them sometime next week. Hopefully anyway.
How is everyone else doing with the rebate?

I sent my rebate in back at the beginning of September. It has been over 5 months now. They supposedly sent them on 11/28/07 and they never arrived. So after calling them and having them resent at the beginning of the January, my order status is still "In Process" Absolutely unbelievable. I plan to call them tomorrow...

Let me tell ya something..
I've sent away this 5 free Blu-ray MIR, as well as TWICE, the 5 free HD DVD rebates. Waited, and waitied. Within a week, ALL THREE TIMES, of me calling the number to check on the status, I received my discs in the mail.
Something tells me they just wait and wait, untill you get urked, and that once you call, you get put ahead of the list, and get your discs.

Sorry for the dumb question, I just called the number on the form and they confirmed that a photocopy is just fine.

I just phoned the Canadian line and they acted like I was a bit nutts. They said they're getting 1000 rebates per day (and this is after the eligible systems have been sold). Said I wasn't in their system yet and that wasn't surprising for being a month ago. So I still don't know.
