Beer Rebate 101 or Tips

REBATE TIPS:

Remember you can only use one rebate form PER address. If you want to use another one, use a DIFFERENT address with a different name. Ask your family, friends, etc. to use the second one.When buying food with coupons, do not count coupons for these rebates. They look at the price next to the item purchased, not the coupon.

EXAMPLE:
For $6 rebate on cheese...purchase a minimum $10 worth of cheese.
-Kraft cheddar cheese-$2.50
-Kraft swiss cheese-$2.50
-Frigo String cheese-$5.00
-Kraft coupon...deduct $1.00
-Kraft coupon...deduct $1.00
-Frigo coupon...deduct $1.00
Total: $7.00

This will work for this rebate. Circle items that are $2.50, $2.50, and $5.00=$10.00. Ignore coupons and the total amount. You'll get $6.00 back.
--------------------------------------------------
-If you are uncertain about whether if you can use another rebate from the same company even if you already did one recently...Yes, you can use it again ONLY if there's difference in picture, wording, or expiration dates.

-Be sure to read the rebate form carefully before sending it out.
Important things to watch for....

-is your state eligible?
-purchase dates-postmark date
-original receipts with qualifying purchases circled
-cutout of any UPC codes (not all rebates require this, some do)
-purchases must be made on the same day? (not all rebates require this, some do)
