My rebate AR bucket rides at about $3k/month... I've made it a looooong way in the rebate game, and I'm pretty good at reading the signs of an impending "battle" ... I've got a few of these on my plate right now and getting a few (more) Fram filters isn't worth the potential battle that the hoky rebate form signals.

Then move on.........

Rebate form also says
"2. Fill in this original form ..."

That was also the exact wording on the rebate form that was valid 2/1/07 - 12/31/07. It was also a printable PDF from Amazon.

$20 AR for my 2000 Explorer, no thanks.

There are three types of promotional offers available: a monetary rebate, a gift that comes with the purchase of a certain item, and an offer to buy multiple items and receive an extra for free. In each case, the promotional offer will be a transaction between you and the company initiating the offer. It is up to you to claim the offer. Terms and conditions of individual offers vary. In order to qualify for an offer, you must place your order by the date specified.

We carefully check the validity of all promotional offers listed on the site. For monetary rebates we display both the price you'll pay for the item and your final net price after you claim your rebate. If you believe our information about a promotional offer is inaccurate, please contact us with as many details as possible so that we may correct the error. We can offer compensation for a discrepancy only if the promotional offer comes from Amazon.com.

It does look like they are denying any responsibility with mfr rebates.

Too bad.

In the past, I have disputed Visa charges based on denied rebates. In every case, if the merchant advertised the 'after rebate' price as being the final price, the dispute was approved.

For the filters I ordered, Amazon is providing the rebate form & advertising the final price as $-5.96

Example:
List Price: $17.91
Price: $14.04 & eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25. Details
You Save: $3.87 (22%)
Rebate: $20.00
Price After Rebate: $-5.96

 

Save PDFs or printouts of all related screens & you will get your money, one way or another.

 


Has anyone just sent the rebate application with the Fuzzy form? Will that be good enough to get our rebate ? I have called Amazon many times they are not helping on the form, they say the form is theirs.

Any updates on the form being bogus? IOW, processed with no errors.

I sent in 2 UPC's in 1 envelop for 2x$20 and the status shows:

Rebate Offer: FRAM AIRHOG 20 REBATE In Process
Received Date: 2/29/2008

Is there a problem?

Thanks SlamminMOFO for the link.

Rebate Offer: FRAM AIRHOG 20 REBATE In Process

likethemcheap, that's just the name of the rebate, I doubt there would be any
problems since 2 UPC= 2 times $20.00.

I'm in the exact situation. I even attached a note highlighting I submitted 2 UPCs. Sent them an email - lets see if they reply

It's a good way to turn Amazon GC's into cash..

So do any of you actually clean and re-oil them? How does that work?


I don't think you can clean or wash the Fram brand. You can only wash the K&N filter but not the Fram, that's why it's cheap because disposable.

I prefer K&N filter but this Fram will come handy too while the K&N is out for cleaning.
