STILL ALIVE! AutoCraft Gold Car Battery w/7 year warranty $40-45 WITH TAX INSTALLED AC/MIR/CB at Advance Auto

Slickone said:   I have a car that I don't drive often, and I've had 2-3 batteries go bad in it, even though I tried to keep it charged up (I didn't always do a great job). The current one (also bad) that I still need to replace is an expensive Optima red top that for some reason I thought would handle it better. I use a Battery Tender now on my other vehicle (also not driven much) and it's been doing a pretty good job. I plug it in every couple weeks or so.

I also have a spare dead battery (since I bought a battery off craigslist) that I need to find something to do with, so if anyone knows anymore about getting cash for them, please let us know.

You can turn in the battery at Advance Auto and probably O'Reilly for a $5 gift card

it is emailed to you after you order...for your NEXT order.

No signs of a coupon after my order yesterday. Is there something I should be looking for that I might have missed?

Perfect timing OP. My truck battery has been having a hard time staying charged lately and with winter coming on this is a perfect deal. In for one $88.00- $25 rebate= $63.00! And if I get lucky they will take the core or credit me the $12 install fee. Even if not $63.00 is a good deal! Merry Christmas!

Thanks for posting OP! Just noticed this last night. Ordered today and got my new battery installed this afternoon.

Mine was still good but for under $50 net for a new one I was willing to re-set my battery clock and not have to worry with it down the road somewhere.

My dad had a 6 year old battery that was probably on its last leg so I just turned in that old battery since my current one was newer.

My local scrap yard is paying $10 for car batteries. Usually the places that handle mostly non-ferrous metals will give you the best rate.

Just got my $25.00 gift card today!

My battery died just in time for this deal. Picked it up for $53 after rebate, including tax and the State of Florida battery fee. A heck of a deal for a good high CCA battery with a good warranty to back it up.

Thanks for posting OP. Christmas gift for my daughter.

still alive, my 7 y.o. battery is struggling on these cold mornings, figured I better jump on this.

Thanks OP

My truck battery was ginving me issues and saw this thread and bought a new one for $50 after rebate and $50 coupon.

Darn, pick-up only option for me. Wish there was an AAP near me.

Thanks for the ShopDiscover info. I noticed recently that I didn't receive my expected CashBack email, but haven't yet followed up with Discover (they say to wait 8 weeks). Glad to hear that it shouldn't be a problem to get it added to my account!

The DOTW46 coupon does not seem to work?? Can someone check this or confirm?

Doesn't a group size 90 battery fit?
If so, AAP has that available.

Did you have to mail anything in after doing the rebate info online? I submitted the rebate info and it said submitted, doesn't say anything about what and where to mail anything in but I do see that it must be post marked by 01/31/13.

Also if I bought the battery first, submitted rebate online and then returned old battery next day for the core charge refund, do you think this will affect the rebate submission at all? Hopefully they will realize it was a core refund and not a return of the battery.

if you submit online, nothing needs to be mailed in. you should receive an email confirm that your rebate is submitted and you'll get another once it's approved.

the core charge refund will not mess up the rebate.

This is great! Needed a new battery for my Moms van and they will install for free! much better than $110 at Wal Mart!

Finally followed up with ShopDiscover about CashBack for my battery purchase since it hadn't yet shown up after 8 weeks. Had no problem having a CSR supervisor apply the purchase at this point ($8 and change - CashBack was 10% back when I ordered). Just a reminder to others who purchased through Discover to doublecheck their account to make sure that they got their CashBack, or to call Discover if they need to have a CSR apply it manually...
