(DEAD?) Kelloggs $10 AARP gas card ending 4/30/2012

thanks for the reminder

Thanks for the headsup manderson660!

From the GasRewardsFAQs.pdf:
I recently sent in a request for a Gas Rewards card, will I still receive it?
We are fulfilling all requests received that were post marked by the date the
announcement went live on Kelloggs.com/AARP on April 2, 2012.

Why couldn't they just say postmark deadline April 2, 2012?

So if it goes out in Mondays mail is that too late? I stocked up on cereal for this deal but was procrastinating also.

I am hoping not, I think I will walk into the post office and just pay cash at the counter, so they postmark it then and there, and then maybe snap a pic with my phone? Such a pain, but 10 bucks is 10 bucks.

Gotta run out and buy 4 more qualifying cereals (currently have 6 UPCs).

Giant PA has Rice Krispies and Raisin Bran 3/$6. Will use $4/4 coupon to get 4 for $4.

P.S. Thanks manderson660 for the heads up that this ended.

P.P.S. I wonder how many submission they'll get that are postmarked April 2nd?

Hand stamped - agree. I had three rebates I sent in from my home mailbox at the same time. They were stamped with three different dates - one after the deadline, which is why I know about it (a phone call straightened it out). The three dates were spread out over a 5 day period...ridiculous. And another good reason to give Staples Easy Rebates your business!

This might be a good thing for those of you that have enough UPCs to send in. They say that they run out of the cards but will still honor requests postmarked by 4/2 so I'm speculating that they're going to mail checks instead, which I would much prefer than the prepaid cards! Now I just need to find some good deals on Kellogg's cereals today!

Thanks for the update. I dropped off my envelope in the mailbox today. It should get picked up at 7AM tomorrow and hopefully gets stamped right.

I plan to swing by the regional sorting facility on the way to work in the morning.Got my envelope hand postmarked with April 2, 2012 this morning.

Kelloggs called back. Said to forward it to Hilda at the address earlier in this thread, but to add a reference number (unique to case). As long as the original letters are postmarked by April 2, Hilda will put them through for processing.

Not sure if this would work unless you call and get a reference number, but they are holding the line on honoring anything postmarked by April 2.

NoMoneyInMyWallet said:   Anybody have submissions from this round show up as processing, then disappear in the last week?

I had 1 from the last offer (ended 12/31/11) and 2 for the current offer showing in status. The 1 from last offer is still there, but the 2 from the current offer disappeared.

P.S. I also sent in another on 4/2 that isn't showing, but I don't expect it to show yet.

Yes this happened to me. Mailed 1 in on 3/19/12, and it showed up on the status webpage on 4/3/12. On 4/9/12 it disappered. I sent an e-mail, and got a reply the next day that states:

"This promotion has ended prematurely, due to such an overwhelming response. All orders that were postmarked by 4/2/2012 will be honored and processed. However, we did not have enough gas cards to fulfill all of the orders that we received. In lieu of a prepaid debit card, you will be receiving a $10 check. This is why your order does not appear online anymore. Currently, the check is in process and we will mail it out to you as soon as possible. We thank you for your patience."

Green for you, kind sir!

Form says "10oz or larger, mix or match". As long as the cereal is listed on the form and size is at least 10oz, it is qualified.

I guess Kellogg's tricked me into buying only Kellogg's cereal for the last few months! What a scam. No more Kellogg's cereal for me.You can still send for the $10 rebate. Just be sure to postmark by Monday, 4/30.
