I bought five quarts of oil with an oil filter. Banners in the store and in the brochure indicated that by purchasing these items I would qualify for a $20 American Express Reward Card. The reciept also stated that I qualified for $7 in rebates. The sales associate told me to go online to AdvanceAutoParts.4myrebate.com. I did as instructed, following through the numerous pages on the website only to be told I would be getting a $4 rebate sometime within the next 2-3 months. There was no mention of the Reward Card.I called Advance Auto Parts where it was plain to see that no one knew what was going on. After 50 minutes on the phone with a very heavy mouth breather (seriously, I asked her if she was having respiratory problems) I was told a manager would call me. There was no indication of when I would be contacted, a day, a week, a month.The bottom line is this, you have a clear example of false advertising. The company is banking on the fact that the vast majority of people will not have the time to chase after these special offers. They make the process unnecessarily difficult to limit the number of rebates/reward cards. This is disgusting. They have lost me as a customer.

From one of the sites:
"For online orders enter Store #1020 and Register #1 along with your Order ID."

I believe Order ID is called the order number. It is the number from online ordering, and is also printed on the store receipt.

Edit: That's three votes for "Order Number"

I haven't received FW CashBack notification yet. I typically do within a few hours of AA purchase. Cleared cookies before each order, clicked FW link, etc. Did anyone get CashBack confirmation yet?

I got mine shortly after picking order up. All good so far, just waiting to see if i actually get multiple GCs

I forgot to add the oil pan to my order. Is their a way that I can still it?

If all goes well, this will have been a pretty sweet deal, especially when you consider that you are getting FW cash on top of everything

I received Cash Back notifications within a couple hours. It was the fastest CB notifications I have ever got; I was surprised....Now if I could just get the CashBack from a big sportmens guide order I did...?

SlamminMOFO said:   To the people that picked up in store and see the $15.xx on your in store receipt, are you still seeing the $22.xx on the credit card charges? I see the $22.xx. I thought it would show the $15.xx since that is what I signed for.

Yes, $15.xx on instore receipt but I called my charge card and was charged $22.xx

Mine is a mess.

Orignally it was supposed to be $22.04
Paypal then took out $21.87 from my bank account for the bill
And my reciept says $15.xx

I am fine with the $21.87 but if someone really wanted to push the matter you could send a copy of your reciept to your CC and probably get the whole thing free, or worse case only charged the $15.xx.

I have re-read thru this thread and wanted to make sure of my question. I bought:

(3) sets of the 5.1 qt jug with 10W30
(3) sets of the 5.1 jug of 10W40

I used the SAME CC on all orders and purchased in-store, not online.

I plan to use (3) different physical address for the rebates submitting one of each set purchased per address. IOW, I should receive $40 per address. Is this allowed?

taken, I had the same 'choice' but couldn't choose. I just hit the next/confirm/or whatever button.

That is how i understand it too.

I bought three different grades on three seperate orders ( on different days), and figured since there was no rush i'd do one at a time.

Did the first one end of Dec. Got an email next day saying i was approved and card should be mailed in 5-8 days.

did the second one yesterday ( same name, address, email as first) got confirmation but no approval ( or denial) email yet.

figure I'll wait a little on the third and see how number 2 pans out. I figure if i am denied i can always just return to store, so very little risk involved. This rebate is easy but also very confusing at the same time, or maybe I'm just a little slow

IrishBrewer said:    For those posting success/fail rates, I would appreciate it if they indicate if they submitted for different or same grades of oil, container sizes and whether they used the same or alternate names/addresses for all.

I bought two of the same 5.1 jugs but submitted just one so far. I think u are right, the limit is probably one of each kind with max of 5 ? lot of guessing and speculation on my part ofcourse

OK, I just did as you said. Very odd! I printed out my "form" that tells me the postmarked by date is 4/27/2012, but of course, NO address given as to where one should "mail" it to!! These companies crack me up! You know what is funny is that AAP is located right next to Rite Aid!!

Allright, off to enter my next CRT for the other grade of oil...then, repeat this for the other two addresses...
You don't need to mail anything if you do the rebate online. What you printed is just a confirmation for your records.

Do you mean you had the oil shipped to you directly? If that is the case, I don't know. Otherwise,when I picked up my order I got a receipt. On the top right corner of the recieipt there was a regiter number. I typed in that number...

Right now I'm 3 for 4 on the $20 rebates. The only one that is still showing up as being in "Processing" status is one that was for the same weight of oil submitted using the same address as an earlier submission using my spouses name/email. I made this purchase before I was aware of the one rebate per oil weight and container size.

The last one I did was for a name/address/email that I had submitted earlier and the only thing was different was the oil weight. This one was approved within one day.

I've also submitted three of the $7 rebates but their status is unknown.

So, in summary. You can get multiple rebates on this deal by purchasing different oil weights and container sizes but it looks like they may indeed be limiting it to one per household for each grade of oil and contaner size as previously speculated. So far, I've been buying only the 5.1 quart deals so I may test this theory further by getting a couple of the 5x1qt deals. Nothing like (almost) free motor oil!

TIA
It has been answered and it is in the Quick Summary, and in at least three other posts, including one on this page, and on the rebate link. But here we go:


"For online orders enter Store #1020 and Register #1 along with your Order ID."

As others have reported elsewhere in this thread, it also seems to work if you use the Store #, Register # and Order ID printed on the copy of the receipt that they should give you when you pick up your order (this is the actual store number and register number for that store so it will not be 1020). I did this on all my submissions without any issues.

First I got an email with this subject: Rebate Tracking Information

Followed by one labeled: Rebate Registration Confirmation

I just checked the status and it still says processing. I submitted about 24 hrs ago. My question is will I be in "processing" for quite some time until they mail out the AMEX? Or, is this the step that the rest of you are claiming you were "approved?" Is there another stage where I go from processing to approved?
