****ALERT ON MCAFEE REBATES****
It has been reported on SD that McAfee through its rebate processor, Parago, has started to enforce a one per product restriction on its rebates. Until this is sorted out, submitting more than one rebate per product is not advised even if the rebate has a different rebate number and different offer period. The rebate invalidation message has been reported as "Your rebate request did not pass our audit process".

..... ++ Mcafee rebates generally can be pre-submitted at www.mcafeerebates.com While this rebate was initially noted as valid, it is possible it has been re-evaluated and is now invalid for purchase date. What is quite shocking about this is that the rebate is invalid because the rebate number is now attached to a completely different product, time period and value: McAfee 2010 Internet Security 3 User at Office Depot with an offer period starting 06/13/2010 (from memory), and is worth $35. Here is what the rebate tracking returns: ..... Rebate: Variable Reward
..... Rebate Information For: <tracking number>
..... Promotion: $35 Mail In Rebate on McAfee 2010 Internet Security 3 User at Office Depot
..... Submission Type: <ON-LINE at least for me>
..... Date Received: <date received>
..... Status Detail: Invalid.
..... Invalid Reasons: Invalid Purchase Date
To resolve this problem, call the customer service line at 1-866-880-9644 [to speed through the voice mail system, try enter "1" for English, "4" for invalid, and "0" for CSR], tell the CSR the tracking number, let the CSR tell you why the rebate is invalid and then explain the situation: the rebate you submitted was for a different title and different offer period. If there is an issue have the CSR check the scanned in rebate submission. If necessary, ask to speak to a manager.
