Submitting Rebates

Unfortunately, submitting your rebate isn’t as simple as dropping it in the mailbox—at least not if you’re serious about getting your refund. To protect yourself against lost mail and other potential complications, make a copy of all of your submission materials, including the envelope.

It's also a good idea to make a note of how long it’s supposed to take for your rebate to be returned, and of the address or phone number that should be used for inquiries (if one is provided).

Then, once that's complete, stick your rebate in the mail, and wait for your money to return to you.
