Just read on CW that apparently Kimberly Clark’s definition of “while supplies last” means that 600 gift cards would be sufficient for a promotion heavily advertised in the Jewel Spotlight and scheduled to run from December 16, 2010 through January 15, 2011. The 900+ LOSERS who did not receive a gift card will be getting a booklet with $15 worth of coupons. I am thoroughly pissed off about this. It does not even appear that the cards were issued in the order received (FIFO), because I know of one person who got hers but another person, whose rebate was submitted two weeks prior, did not get one. Most of these purchases were made on some very expensive Kimberly-Clark products without the benefit of sales or coupons. This is a very big no-no: Could they possibly be using Dominicks’ marketing agency? If you did not receive a gift card and want to pitch a hissy fit, the Kimberly-Clark number is 888-525-8388. go for it…
Saw this on CW (thanks to OP), so thought I’d post for those of you who want to try it. It appeared in Spanish ads and is targeted to Hispanic families. ¡Pero me gusta todo el dinero!

Terms:
Purchases must be made between 12/16/2010 and 1/15/2011. Request must be postmarked by 1/15/2011 and received no later than 1/30/2011. Limit one (1) per individual, family or valid street address. Group requests void. Only U.S. street addresses accepted, no PO boxes. Please allow 6-8 weeks for processing. Requests for fulfillment to PO boxes will not be accepted. Requests that in Kimberly-Clarks sole discretion do not comply with terms & conditions of offer, including mechanically reproduced requests, fraudulent, illegible, incomplete or inaccurate requests are invalid. Void where prohibited.
Wording is rather odd…$25 after coupons, etc.? My suggestion is to buy your stuff separately from the rest of your order, then walk back to customer service desk and hand over your coupons and RRs. Your receipt will still be an original and any marks made by CS shouldn’t affect your rebate (make sure your circle your items and prices with a marker so it stands out).
There are very few coupons out there (except for Kleenex and Cottonelle – so you know what I’m loading up on), but 100% return on your investment isn’t too shabby. Don’t wait too long, because it’s while supplies last…

thanks for the heads up, was wonderin’ where that GC was at. sux.
pitched my fit and they say will send an additional $15 in q’s out. and just how stupid do they think I am. don’t answer that, it was rhetorical.
we’ll see if they actually deliver on this one.
Well of course they’ll deliver on the coupons – it means you will be buying more of their products. insert duh! Having the usual legalese of “while supplies last” is only acceptable when you are mailing out gift cards using FIFO. In this case it appears that the fulfillment house was overwhelmed and just let them pile up. After that? Who knows how they chose who would and wouldn’t get one. My Mexican BIL bought KC products in a “Hispanic” Jewel and submitted the receipt within the first few days of the promotion: he never got one. A Chinese friend shopped in a “white” Jewel and submitted her receipt two weeks later AND GOT HER CARD (her’s was the gift card pictured on another post)

I had a feeling this would happen. And I am NOT going to feel stupid hauling in my TP and Kleenex to return to Jewel! LOL
Feel like a genius, ’cause I sure didn’t get duplicate receipts I can use to use to return stuff. Out of five receipts mailed out, I got ZERO! And that includes the Hispanic Jewel receipts mailed to actual Hispanics – quel surprise. However, I suppose I could return everything for store credit.
