Mail in rebate question

[Malteasers]

I bought a Maximus 6 hero, which had a 20$ MIR offer. The offer expired 7/31, but the postmark date is 30 days after i bought it. Does this mean i can still get the 20$ or no?

Usually if it's expired then you cannot get the rebate.

Huzzah for fraudulent mail in rebate adverts.

 

When is this going to stop being a thing? They claim theres a rebate then send you a product where the rebate is expired, which is flagrant false advertising. I'd issue a bad review and complain like hell to wherever you bought it from until they make it right.

The postmark is when the mail service signify's that it is being shipped. If you can get it the mail before the specified postmark date then you might still have a chance.

 

I say 'might still have a chance' because rebate companies will do whatever they can to avoid giving you money back. Make sure you follow the form precisely.

Rebates are just so annoying I don't even bother

It is pretty damn vague and annoying. On one form, the rebate expires on the 31st, the other says that 30 days after purchase is the date. I think it just expired on the 31st, because MSI and Corsair had similar offers, and both of those aren't listed anymore

 

edit-while they may be annoying, if they are going to advertise it on the product, page, why not try and get them?

The rebate starts at the beginning of the month and the rebate ends at the end of the month, your rebate expire after 30 days of purchase.

Well, in that case, I'm gonna try and get it. wish that was the case for Corsair and MSi though, can't get the forms to mail in

Well, in that case, I'm gonna try and get it. 

For example if i bought something at the 15th then the rebate expires 30 days from the purchase date(15th).
