Confirmed with CR that the $40 Rebate form comes with the box.(Sticker kind)
>>>>>>>>> If you received in the Staples email $20 off $100 today..then use it with "Refurbished Brother MFC-5440CN" as discussed here to bring the total under $15 AR & AC (plus taxes.) >>>>>>>>>
Sorry..if its a repost. Did a search and didn't find any.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Well.. Guys you are right the Box did come with $20 Rebate only. So Staples had mis-advertised on their site. But I did save the image of the copy and called CSR and they admitted the mess up on the site. I got a $20 voucher. FAR for me. Being a FW'er one needs to know how to get around. Price mistakes, erroneous Ads.. we exploit those here.
So.. those of you who jumped on this and need a web page copy....PM me.
I found the same information in the M$ rebate website. Please note that this rebate is for download, not box version. You can download the Deluxe version from M$ for $30 and send in the $20 rebate. Not free, though. bbway said: fresh463 said: rebate instruction
Does it say $20 only?
# Check the box below for the qualifying product you downloaded.
Microsoft Money Plus Deluxe, $20 rebate Microsoft Money Plus Premium, $30 rebate Microsoft Money Plus Home & Business, $30 rebate
-print the Staples webpage as proof of the FAR -easy to return to a local store if the manager doesn't help out with the rebate -ebates is 4%
No brainer to me. I HIGHLY recommend MS Money to everyone who cares about their finances. Even if you only use it for keeping track of your accounts, its worth every penny. I upgrade every year.
TallyHooHoo said: I can't remember ever seeing Money FAR without requiring tax software purchase - I'd say pretty likely here that Staples has this screwed up.In fact, if you look in this week's circular, Money Plus Deluxe is in there. It explicitly says "FREE after mail-in rebate with purchase of ANY TaxCut software".
I went to my local Staples and the Store manager called up Staples CSR who confirmed that its an error on the website and the rebate is only $20. You need to buy another qualifying software to get the full $40 rebate. She also advised those who have purchased only will only get $20 rebate sticker and hence will need to call up and ask for return label.

I just called in, CRS told me it is an error. There will be no such a $40 rebate for this product. I had it cancelled.

I bought one from B&M. On the shelf said free after rebate. The store manager told me to go to Microsoft website because of the one on the shelf is old. There should be new coupon in the Microsoft. Turns out it is all a lie..... returning it to the store tomorrow. It is waste of time.
And be careful, some version of TaxCut do not contain the Money 2008 rebate form. Last year I got such a version from Buy.com, so you need to buy package which says $40 rebate on money...

Just confirmed w/ Customer Service. This was an online "error". You MUST buy TaxCut to get the Rebate. Easy to Cancel, unless you want to FIGHT Staples after the fact.

I didn't get a chance to cancel my order. I received the box and was greeted with the $20 rebate. The Staples website for item 711012 (as of writing this) clearly says "Free after rebate savings" and doesn't have any links or any text saying you need to buy something else. I wanted to just return the product for a refund but because I opened the box (because the rebate is *IN* the box...gotcha!) the CSR said I could only do an exchange. And because I bought it online I couldn't go to a store to plead my case (different systems...gotcha!). After getting the CSR to look at the actual Staples website, she said I was right and she would credit my card for $21.40 and I'm going to send in the rebate for the other $20. She probably should have kept the $1.40 in tax as I'll actually end up getting $41.40 back.
I called Staples after I got mine. They put me on hold for a while and then came back and said it was an error and they could send me $40 in GCs. I took that option and will submit the rebate.

I got this same deal. I was almost ready to return it when I read Kev's post and gave it a try. Thanks!!

I actually did buy the TaxCut and Money Deluxe together. I haven't opened either box yet. Does anyone have a link to the rebate form? I'd like to look at the rebate terms before opening the boxes, in case I decide I want to return the software. Thanks.
I tried the online chat and calling. Neither worked. They wouldn't give me a credit and said that I need to return it.

Just got my MS Money Deluxe Plus 2008 from Staples today after seeing their website two days ago that said it was free after mail in rebate. But, the rebate sticker on the box says $40 rebate with purchase of any qualifying __TaxCut__ product, or a __$20__ rebate for the MS Money Deluxe Plus alone.
The rebate form inside the box says $20 rebate for this version and $30 rebate for other versions. Called the number on the invoice (1-800-333-3330). The customer service person put me on hold for a while, then came back and said it was a web site mistake and they would provide $20 in customer coupons, but that's it. She said that they were changing the web site as we speak and that the coupons were all that her supervisor authorized.

Accept the coupons graciously, then return the item to the store.

Also received the $20 coupon, which is fine with me... I'm sure I'll be buying something else from Staples at some point, and I actually would have been willing to pay $20 for Money.
