McAfee Total Protection 3User 2010 - Free FAR at OfficeDepot

Are there any coupons for free items with a OD $75 purchase? You can't use $ off coupons on software.

bing has 7% CashBack for OD

Anyone knows if this works with WHS?

This $20 upgrade terminology seems odd to me. Why would they accept handwritten or altered documents and not a photocopy of an original??? Am I missing something here???

Obviously this is a typo..since why would any company willingly accept "altered" documents..

Hmm..well maybe because not everyone has a Bank of America banking account/credit card..

Can I use 2009's receipt as proof of former ownership?

billrubin said: icyicy said: Can I use 2009's receipt as proof of former ownership?No. A photocopy of the CD might work, you'd need to check the rebate form.In my experience, while Parago (the rebate processor) will eventually accept a copy of the competitor's CD as "proof of previous ownership", the rebate submission will initially be invalidated.

The good news is that it just takes a phone call to have the rebate validated -- explain that a copy of a competitor's CD was included and that such is a listed proof.

But I am not sure if the McAfee rebate says it will take a photocopy or if it still wants the original. I know the Webroot rebates do not take photocopies, and they are all processed by Parago.Your Parago experience with Symantec upgrade rebates is the same as mine -- copy of CD good for proof of previous ownership.

I should have been more clear that my point was about Parago and Mcafee upgrade rebates.

Why are the links to the rebate forms not working for me?

simon123 said: Why are the links to the rebate forms not working for me?The links work for me.

Here is another way to access them:

- goto www.officedepot.com
- scroll to the bottom of the page where under "Specials" it has a link to the "Mail-in Savings Center"

OR to go to the center directly:

https://www.web-rebates.com/officedepot/

Then use the "Find A Mail-in Savings Form" >> "Product SKU search":

- McAfee 2010 Total Protection 3-User -- 538407

- McAfee 2010 Internet Security 1 -- 538254

Make sure to select the rebates for the purchase time frame.

Due to your links, I now realize that Mcafee 2010 Total Protection 3-User is actually free after only one rebate. No need to send in proof of upgrade.
Thanks again!When did you purchase it? If between 11/8 and 11/21, there are two rebates ($60 and $20). If between 11/22 and 11/28, there is one $80 rebate.

I just read this on the rebate form:

"Rebate amount paid to customer for single or combined rebate offers may not
exceed the purchase price of the McAfee product."

The item costs $79.99 which is one cent less than the $80 rebate.
Will this disqualify my rebate? (I already bought it).

Any advice would be appreciated.
