There’s a new P&G rebate that started today and runs through 12/31/12.  Huge list of products available – including the Herbal Essence and Aussie products currently on sale at Ultra through Wednesday for $2!  And since Ultra takes coupons up to 30 days expired, you can use those lovely $3/2 coupons from the 8/5 rp.  Rebate specifically says “$50.00 purchase is subtotal before coupon redemption.”  You’d be buying 26 bottles of shampoo and conditioner, paying $13 to get back $15.   If you don’t have access to those coupons, use the 10/7 rp or 9/16 S ones – they’re crummy old $1/2, so you’d end up paying about 94¢ a bottle after coupons and rebate.

anybody have any of these coupon left?  None of the sellers on the right side bar have any in stock, so contact the eBay sellers under completed auctions (the red ones that didn’t sell) to see if what prices they’re looking at.  Get a rain check or two at Ultra and it should work well.  My advice is to get however many of the HE and Aussie you have the $3/2 coupons for and put the receipts in an envelope with the rebate form.  It’s early days yet and there’ll will be more and better deals.

Just got a postcard in today’s mail that my receipt did not contain a valid purchase date.  I called the toll-free number, entered all the info, only to hear the recording read the same info as on the postcard!  Total waste of time.  Customer service says that the fulfillment house marked this rebate as NO dates on the receipt, which means the paperwork gets removed from the low-level monkeys and sent for verification to the people actually running the rebate program.  so another two or three weeks grrr…

So be aware, you might be next.

I’m getting emails about this so I’m gonna jump the gun and publish now:  Starting January 8 and running through February 8, 2012, spend $30 on Neutrogena products and receive a $10 rebate.  Since you have to submit receipts, getting clearance stuff doesn’t help.  But if you can combine this with an ecb, Target gift card or RR deal…well, then.  So here’s the official Neutrogena Rebate Form – have fun.  I’ll post anything that jumps out at me.  Note:  The envelope must be postmarked by March 8, 2012.

I’ve gotten more info on the Budweiser rebate:  Offer expires 12-31-11; postmark by 1-14-12.

I’m still holding some of the $50 hard liquor rebates, so I thought I’d post and see what response I get for the rest of them.

1.  5 or 6 of the $20 yellow tail rebates.  Honestly, the $36 is so much better that the only way I’d recommend using this one is if you only have a couple of addresses you can use and/or you’re a big lush or any combination thereof.

2.  About 15 of the $20 Heineken rebates (see earlier post for details) with $80 worth of groceries purchases.

3.  Eight of the Bacardi $30 rebates.

4.  20 Budweiser  $20 prepaid card WYB a 24 pack and $100 gift cards or $10 prepaid card WYB 24 pk and $50 gift cards.  This last one is coming in the mail, so don’t get too excited yet.  What gift card deals can we stack this baby with, huh?  CVS has all those gift card deals, so let’s come up with a scenario to make the Naperville CVS the booze headquarters of North America.
