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.

thank you!

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?

Sweet Baby James

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.

PhilT

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!

Anyone think there'll be some sort of rebate for Secret Window?

Dabaomb

it's highly likely. all high profile releases have had $7 or $10 rebates lately.

I got the $10 rebate for the Cooler, all in one check. I guess I never updated this thread. Thought I did though

The weird thing about the rebate was that instead of it being labeled as a Cooler rebate, it was labeled Stuck On You. It's almost as if the rebate folks just "fixed" my rebate by changing it to another rebate that was for $10. That makes sense to me since it wasn't likely a human error on the part of the folks processing the rebates. Most likely it was a human error in the data input process when they entered the rebate info into their computer system. It was probably easier for them to just switch the rebate number, rather than override the price of the rebate.

Hope you get yours!

after sending emails & faxes, I got a $2 check then an $8 check about 2 weeks later.

Ack, does anyone have an extra rebate form with 50 First Dates and the Simpsons seasons 1-3 that they could sent to me? Long story...

shawagg

Just a question about the rebates, do you guys send it all together for each week or do you put each title from the rebate into a seperate envelope.

To me all on one makes sense and saves the stamps and time, but the form says one title submission per envelope. So I just wanted to know which do you do it and what works.

On two separate occasions I mailed one rebate form with four titles checked and submitted. I received all four rebates on each of the two submissions, eight rebates in all, including the much talked about Cooler rebate.

Yes, only $8 on that one.

babka

what a pain in the ass. I am done with these bozos' rebates.
stating $10 and getting only $8.

steebo777

Even though they screwed up this once, all of the other rebates have been fine. Besides, it's only $2 dude...

This week's rebate deals (6/22/04 - 7/5/04):
Badder Santa: $19.99 + Tax - $10 MIR
Reno 911 Season 1: $19.99 + Tax - $10 MIR
Joe Schmoe Season 1: $36.99 + Tax - $10 MIR
Vans Warped Tour: $10 MIR
Vans Warped Tour w/Bonus Disc: $10 MIR
Secret Window: $19.99 + Tax - $10 MIR

The T-shirt that came with the Bad Santa pre-order says " BAD SANTA" in green font over the left chest. On the back in big red letters, "HE DOESN'T CARE IF YOU'RE NAUGHTY OR NICE." Unfortunately, the store only had XL, but I think that some stores had Large.

In terms of Reno 911, the Rockefellar Center NYC store didn't even know about the rebate. I don't think that corporate told them about it. They only found out when I pointed it out on the rebate form.

Finally, the Secret Window rebate was on a different form all by itself for some reason this week.

misterchimpy

Yeah, the t-shirt was surprisingly nice at least relative to some of the cheesy preorder premiums they've had recently.

By the way, my rebate for The Rundown showed up yesterday. I never got an email from them and it never showed up on the website. As it turns out, they had misspelled my last name(nothing that will prevent me from cashing it, hah!), so it is on the site under the misspelling. After I got it, I checked my mailbox again and it turns out that the rebate confirm had been dumped by the spam filter into the bulk mail box. Anyway, just something to keep in mind if your rebate mysteriously 'vanishes'.

New preorder: Hellboy(7/27/04) 19.99 + tax - $10 MIR

EDIT: Another one:

13 Going on 30(8/3/04) 19.99 + tax - $10 MIR

I just called my local Strawberries store and they know nothing about any current $10 MIR for either of Kill Bill Vol. 1 or The Last Samurai. These two titles are listed on the top post in this thread and are implied to be still active. The store clerk thought it might be an FYE-only thing, but definitely not a Strawberries thing :-(

FSA

lumberjack: Thanks a lot for updating the list. It's really helpful.

Dabaomb

Lumberjack, thanks I updated the first post. It's interesting that The Punisher has a $12 MIR.

lumberjack

Yeah, I thought that, too. I went ahead and put five bucks deposit on it. In hindsight, that didn't do me any good. They could change the rebate amount several times between now and release week.

JediMasterDan

That is interesting. Too good to be true? Perhaps. Cause it almost sounds similar to getting the full $10 rebate off the $15.99 The Cooler DVD price. I'm once again cynical, about this Punisher rebate that is.

asianxcore

definately, thanks lumberjack.

the MIR's on 13 Going on 30, Hidalgo, and Kill Bill Vol. 2, sound tempting

Dabaomb

the signs are still up at the Rockefellar Center NYC FYE. I never got to look at the rebate form though cuz I already own both titles. So unfortunately, I don't know the expiration dates on the rebates.

PS: It looks like Lumberjack deleted his post with the future rebates. Check the first post of this thread for those details. Once again, thanks to lumberjack for his hard work.

I picked these up yesterday with Reno 911 as a present for my father-in-law (I already got the 4-disc SCE set at Sam's club for $27). They are the older transfers. At first I wasn't going to bother with them, but my father-in-law has an old TV and uses its stereo speakers, so I doubt he would get much benefit from the newer ones (other than the extras).

For the record - the new ones are only $9.36 at DDD, so with the 20% sale going on the final price is $7.50 - about the same as the Sam's club 4-pack.

Do you mean that if they show the SCE's in the ad, then they should sell me them if I complain?

Dabaomb

Yup, this is what I mean. If they have the SCE's in stock, bring it up to the register and if they don't change the price to $4.99. Tell them that the SCE's are the one's pictured in the advertisement and they should give them to you for $4.99 each.
