I’ve had three Thakoon by Target items in my Target.com shopping cart since the beginning of January. I tried them on the store, loved them, and decided to do the responsible thing of Getting Them for Less. This meant:
A.) Saving up a bit
C.) Using my Swagbucks.com $20.00 Gift Certificate (Almost there in less than 2 months! I love my Swagbucks!)
D.) Using the Excedrin, Bayer, and Orajel rebates.
Now I’m still expecting the Orajel, but I got two pieces of mail regarding the others. First: a postcard saying my Excedrin rebate was past the postmark date. I really don’t think that’s true, but who knows–did it get stuck somewhere? Does it take an extra day or few from drop box to Post Office center? I specifically remember making it by the ‘pick up time.’ So there goes $5.99-$4.99.
Secondly, I’ve redeemed rebates for free-with-coupon items before…apparently not so with Bayer! It didn’t even mention the coupon name on the receipt, but I guess the -$30.00 line tipped them off. So there goes that $14.99 I was hoping for!
I guess this is very much “don’t count your chickens” territory…a lesson I’ll remember with further rebates!
