enter8 said:Your rebate has completed the first 2 of 4 steps
A check request for $64.50 is being processed.

For those that have gone through the process, does this mean I'm out of the woods?

I bought my printer at futurepowerpc (who promised me over the phone that a rebate hadn't previously been submitted).

Check the status here.
Both of mine were stuck at step 1 for awhile.
Then one changed to "There was a problem with your submission" and I called.
The CSR asked me to verify the serial # and then she approved it on the spot.
Now one rebate is at step 2 and the other is at step 3.
Step 2 on mine says "Your rebate submission has been approved" so I think if you make it past step 1 you are fine.
Just print out the status while it's at step 2. They can't very well say "well, it WAS approved, but now it's not!"

So are they slowly approving some of the rebates for those of you that didn't buy at full price? Over at SD some people are getting their checks.

I bought mine from AmazZon on 7-29-07, received it 8-1-07, and sent the rebate 8-16-07. Here's my stats as of today:

HPp tracking shows step 2(Your rebate submission has been approved and your rebate check is being processed.).

WebRebates shows step 3(Required Validation Period), and was received 8-20-7.

Here's hoping I(and the rest of us) don't have to fight(much?) for this legitimate rebate. The last AwfulOffice Depot rebate battle really burned me out.

Good luck to ALL of us, and lets keep this thread going until everyone gets their rebates(except that greedy person who bought 10 printers).

I bought mine from CircuitCity (79.99) and submitted 2502 rebate in the middle of June. web-rebates.com shows now "Our records indicate that the product purchased reflected a promotional rebate or special pricing." I called, was shut down, but got Office of President address to appeal. I am going to submit the appeal after I receive mailed confirmation of rejected rebate. BBB goes next in my list.

What did you do when Office Depot denied your rebates?

I called the rebate service center and asked what the problem was- as it was a valid rebate. She just asked for the serial # of the hard drive, and then approved it. I think the initial denial was just a tactic to get out of the rebate because many people just don't follow up... they give up without even calling and pleading/fighting their case. But that's just my opinion on some denials by rebate centers... I think they get commissions when saving companies' rebate refunds.

Interesting....I wasn't aware that this printer had a hard drive.

Read our posts above... you might figure out your unawareness.

Both of my rebates are now in step 3 - Check approved and will be mailed shortly.
I bought one from Amazon at the discounted price and one at Staples at full price which I PM'ed to Newegg.

Rec'd this email just now:

Subject: Your HP Award

Thank you for participating in the BTS 07 LJ 1018 MIR promotion.

We have received and processed your mail-in submission and have confirmed your eligibility. Please allow 2 to 4 weeks to receive your award.

Your Tracking ID is: NRVM-XXXX-XXXX

Thank you for buying HP/Compaq products. We appreciate your business. For more information, including special offers on additional products, please visit our web site at www.HP.com.

After over two months of waiting, here is what I get

"Your submission has been received. Unfortunately, there was an issue that prevented processing of your rebate. Your will receive more information in the mail with further details and instructions."

If I know it was going to have problem, I won't buy this printer.

edit: I bought it from Neweggs if it matters.

Got "Your rebate check has been approved and will be mailed to you shortly"
for both:

2502, purchased 6/2 from Amazon
S104, purchased 8/1 from CompSource

rebate status shows S104 offer amount $64.50.
But, 2502 says 50%. So, not complaining, but maybe
check will be for 50% of my Amazon purchase price
not the full $64.50?
-----------------
update 9/1, got checks - the 2502 was in fact for
$64.50 (not just 50%).
