my4mainecoons said:   Just getting around to entering some SER's. Showing $30 gc for each $200 gc purchase. Looks like they've straightened everything out.

I checked again this morning and my rebates entered on 11/14 are still showing validation in progress and reward amount pending. Previously it showed the $150 total.

Initially it had them at rebates of $30 and $150, but now they're $30 and $120.Same here -- looks like they updated it overnight (I'm using Rebate HQ to track other rebates and the amount wasnt there yesterday)

I had two 3x$200 purchases, but only 1 shows up when I search by name & zip so I had to manually search for it by tracking number -- both show $90 GC and processing

Since these are now marked validation complete for some people it is POSSIBLE they could arrive in 2-3 weeks but since the rebate says 6-9 weeks there is no basis to complain if they do not show up in 2-3 weeks.

Anyone that bought RiteAid Home Improvement GCs over Thanksgiving Weekend, check your receipt for the UP Reward. I was pleasantly surprised today to see 12/8 expiry of the $20 UP Reward.

most definitely. You only need to register them if you're using them on line.

Really? Is this new?
I thought he was talking about the VC/MC gc, not the Staples gc's.

dazviking said:   That's what I mean: Do Visa/Mastercard prepaid gift cards (from Staples) need to be activated? I don't ever recall doing this, and I purchase items in store and online.Obviously not, since I used mine right after my purchase on the next transaction.

I checked my rebates at RebatesHQ and they all seem to be a $30 for a single $200 card. Did the person who bought 6 $200 cards end up getting the rebates on all of them? Or did they cap it at $150? I wonder if the SER site will ever get updated with the correct amounts?

Since these were made before that took effect and are completely validated, I don't see why they should not ship in the normal time frame.

What is the official return period? Last time I looked it was not on their website. Last year it started 11/13.

Yes, that's what I meant.

Another thing, I see that the MC says "Electronic use only", it's right below the MC logo. Does it mean I can't use it at a B&M store?No, people were rolling these cards when buying the next card. I assume that means no using the old method of using embossed manual multi-carbon forms of payment. So, yes you can use them at B&M stores.

Last time I looked it was not on their website. Last year it started 11/13.I'd be very surprised if the 6-9 weeks is due to anything other than the extended holiday return period, not the incorrect amounts shown on one rebate.I don't disagree it just seemed like a remarkable coincidence given they didn't change from 4-6 to 6-9 until the glitch showed up. In any case, on rebateshq dot com the status of my rebates is showing "Your rebate is valid and is scheduled for final processing". Parago likes to update some statuses on Monday mornings IIRC so I will check this coming Monday to see if this status has changed at all.

they don't need to be activated but might need to be registered. If you use them online the vendor doesn't see your name/telephone number so may reject the purchase. Registering allows them to match the card to the person ordering like a regular credit card.

Did anyone get more than $150 in rebates?

I did 3 x $200 twice on my dad's account - just for the heck of it. rebateshq is showing $90 x 2. Sure hope that sticks - my dad has no idea what's due to arrive!

Just got an email from stapes rebate saying "Check is in mail. No Really"

allerobed said:   And I thought it was supposed to be a gift card...

Parago sends the same email for all sorts of payment methods.
