OfficeDepot Bait And Switch (Check Your Rebate)
« on: April 16, 2018, 07:42:47 AM »
Very Important that anyone who did the OfficeDepot Paper deal from last week should check their rebate. As DoctorOfCredit reported, OfficeDepot did a bait and switch (DoctorOfCredit's words, not mine) and changed the rebate mid stride to in store only at some point on April 12th or 13th. Anyone who submitted their rebate after that is getting rejected for not being an in store purchase. The rejection is only showing up on the rebate processing web page, the office depot rebate page just shows processing. If you submitted your rebate ,you should definitely check the status of your rebate at the rebate processor website (link below).

You already reported this once. One of mine says the error and the other says it’s being processed and I submitted them simultaneously

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Unfortunately, the information you've entered doesn't match our records

Same error on 2 separate orders. Anybody else have this? I previously got confirmations from multiple reps that my rebate is ok

checked both for you they both show they were received on the 30th of April so I'll check back in a few days to see if any more progress.
    Here's a picture of one of them does your rebate look like this?

Interesting, checking with the link in OP I get a message that it's processing. Hopefully, this is correct

P.S. Also of note is, that only one of them on the OP link has "Error(s): None." like in @myi's screenshot, the other one doesn't have that line...

If it shows ok here then I would just wait another couple of days untill they start clearing the rebates and awarding the gc that's when you should check again to check the statues.
