I’ll admit I don’t submit a lot of rebates but when I do, it never fails that I will forget about them. Unless it was a BIG one, I’d likely not know if they didn’t send me the $.
I read a few months ago that someone recommended taking photos of the submission so you have a record of it. I started doing that and it helped a bit. I did come across the photos one day and thought to myself “I wonder if I’ve received all of these…”. I zoomed in on them and as it turned out, I had!
Then, last month when we were submitting our Sears Dockers Rebate (which I really, really want!) I found Rebate Tracker, a free online tracking service that actually houses all the of the relevant information…rebate details, the submission address, time frame for receipt of the rebate, and has a place for you to track how much you spent and how much you should receive back!
With our move coming up I thought that would be a great idea so I logged everything in and just today I was wondering…when will we get those gas cards! So, I logged in to Rebate Tracker and right there, the estimated delivery date is Aug 15th!
If you do rebates at all I highly recommend this service – it saved me some time and energy hunting the information down (assuming I could even find it all!).
