Has anyone been able to use the same addr, etc for this offer during more than one offer period? Was wondering if each offer is separate even though the address is the same--or if it is one per address, period.

Only one address per Sony offer. If the PO Box address is the same for the offer, and it has been, you must use a different address.

I hate how they don't backdate the offer to when some of the newest ones were released. In essence, you lose out if you bought it on release day, like "Across the Universe" and "30 Days of Night". I got them from Amazon so it's not like I'm going to return/rebuy.

Trust me, the tiny little tab is hardly noticeable... Come to think of it, it's pointless cutting it out. Why? The whole point of cutting it out is too "mark" the case as being used for rebate and thus can't exchange or return for another copy. But the tiny tab doesn't serve such purpose at all. I'm sure there are some anal CAG lurkers cut them out and exchange for another one, which is totally pointless other than wasting time.

Sony just cashed my check for the third rebate offer. (This currentr one is the fourth.) So I've submitted three rebates and have had two fulfilled and one more on its way.
Two of my submittions have been on separate receipts. My last one was from an order on Amazon.
I have my fingers crossed that I'll be getting Damages.

Yep, that's the same address as I used in the new rebate as well. Good luck, let me know if yours goes through. There's been a bunch of reports around the internet of people having the same problem I had with this newest rebate. I think Sony might have closed it down early.

Oddly enough, I just checked on their site for mine, and it shows the following for the Jan 2 submission:
Your SONY PICTURES FREE BLU RAY HD MOVIE JANUARY 2 offer was received on 3/25/2008 , processed on 4/2/2008 and is pending Final Audit.
I guess that means I should be getting one of the three from the prior "TaxForm" rebate (which is how they called it on the PDF form name).
Something I found in some random Google searches about them:

So I've been monitoring highdefdigest.com's forum as well on this, and many of them have also had their rebate requests returned completely unopened. Doesn't look good. Plus, the tristar fulfillment number connects you to someone from Samsung who says they don't know anything about this offer.

I posted this on another forum but I am interested in (and quite frankly, trust CAG over the other place) you guys' thoughts on a possible issue I might have with this promotion.
I just bought Dogma today, and I purchased 30 Days of Night in early March. I don't have a receipt for 30 Days, but could I print out the Amazon receipt that is available on my account on the site? Showing that I did indeed I buy it, but just not show the date of when I purchased it on the slip? Would that work you think? I'm probably going to do it anyway (what's the harm in trying?)
On the last promotion I managed to use Casino Royale priced at "$0.00" (from the TRU BOGO) and RE Trilogy for Extinction, so they seem to be pretty lenient on this as long as you have the check and the two proofs of purchase.
TubeRacer
04-08-2008, 07:43 PM
In hindsight, it was really stupid to go in on a rebate for a "free" item when it requires a check for a few dollars. I can totally picture my movies still not being here in a few months even though they already cashed both checks (and I even used different addresses). Will never do one of these deals again.

The previous one I sent in around a week or so after I received them, which was around 02/18 or so for it to be sent out. I think it took them a month's time from when it was received to show up on the website as received, as it showed a received date of 03/25.

No sign of the rebate on the website for this submission, though from past history on the 2nd submission, they cashed the check weeks in advance before it showed up on the website. Don't be surprised if don't see anything on the website for this submission for a while, could be weeks or a month.

That gives me some hope that I'll actually get CE.Well, I didn't get Close Encounters in the mail, I ended up with Superbad.
That wouldn't be an issue, except I had it as my first choice for the "new"/current rebate. :wall:
I'll have to call them (them being TriStar Fulfillment) (phone # being 800-633-9177) and ask them to change my choices to 30 Days Of Night (1st), The Water Horse (2nd) and Across The Universe (3rd). Hope they can, as I don't want a 2nd copy of Superbad. Plus, ask them if anyone received CE as their choice, as I'm thinking they might have ignored that or "not had it available". :roll:
And it's off to go buy CE from Amazon.com, as I really wanted that from the 2nd promotion.

I just mailed mine in on 04-10... and the check for $2.99 cleared today 04-25... nothing listed on the website but at least I know it's been accepted! now let's hope they send selection number 1 (although I'll be content with any of the 3 choices!)

After getting mine returned in the beginning of April and then resubmitting around April 11, they finally cashed my check on April 28. But my status is nowhere to be found on checkmyrebate.com. Oh well, hope I get something.

Let me know if they tell you anything after you call them since I'm in roughly the same boat.

05-16-2008, 06:31 PM
sounds like a lot of us are in that boat! my check cleared on 04-25 and there's still no indication on the checkmyrebate website... so I called the toll free number this morning... held quite a while... then got a friendly girl who tried to find my order... after a long search she said she could find NO record of it! so she took down my information - what movies I bought, what movies I requested, where I bought my movies, my check number, etc... and said she would pursue it further... even gave me her name & extension to call back in a week or so...
very strange!

I'd suggest to keep calling them weekly if there's nothing on the website.

05-28-2008, 10:10 AM
well, I just called again... this time I spoke to a very rude and not at all helpful person named cindy... she also would not let me speak to a supervisor... she said they have no record of my submission (even though they cashed my check over a month ago) and there was pretty much nothing she could or would do to help!
so I guess I've got mangled dvd artwork for having to cut up the proof of purchases... and lost out on my shipping charges?

Just faxed over to the fax number above:
* Corrected submission form, since my old one had Superbad / 30 Days / Surf's Up as my 1st / 2nd / 3rd choices, and as they fucked me out of Close Encounters with Superbad, I had to changed my choices to 30 Days / Water Horse / Across The Universe
* Copy of POP bits
* Purchase receipt
* Copies of front and back of check, showing they cashed it on 04/21/08
* A nice fax cover telling them to hand it off to a supervisor and expedite it, like they promised me that they would
I'm calling them tomorrow to make sure if they received it or not, and see what they'll be doing with it.

Was just looking for the phone number to call up and ask--since it is still not on checkmyrebate.com--when the delivery person handed me my Gattaca. So I guess faxing is the answer. Faxed on Tuesday the 27th, arrived today (30th)--label says they shipped on the 28th. Might take longer for others--for me it was just going from NJ to MA.

I just spoke to someone named Carrie and she was very helpful. I told her about the cashed check and after looking into it, she told me that they're having some delays on the stock of some movies. She asked me to fax my information in, which I just did. Hopefully I get mine soon too!

They received the fax and it's been given to a supervisor for "expedited processing". :roll:
Supposedly should have the situation dealt with in 7-10 days. :wall:

interesting that someone else also called & talked to "carrie"... I'm wondering if that isn't just some code name they give out... sounds almost like too much of a coincidence that we both talked to carrie about our problems...
the carrie I talked to never advised me to fax anything... hhhhmmmm.....

Holy back from the dead thread, Batman. :shock:
Checked the website for the last few days, and my rebate was updated to show that the rebate was processed on 06/10/08, and showing shipped as of today, 06/13/08.
When I called them to check on it, they said they they shipped me Superbad, which was the first choice on my original mailed-in paperwork, the one they couldn't find for more than a month. :wall: The real issue is that Superbad was my second choice on the prior rebate, and they sent that out. :wall: :wall:
So, it looks like they didn't listen to the multiple times I asked them about what choices were loaded into the computer, and that they didn't do anything with my faxed-in paperwork. Plus, when I faxed in my paperwork, I explained to them that I was changing my selections and why I was changing them, so there should have been no question about what they should have been. Under the assumption, of course, that they lost my original paperwork. :wall: :wall: :wall:
Once I get Superbad, I'm supposed to call them and have them send me a pre-paid mailer. Once they get it back, they're supposed to send out another title. :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

My copy of Superbad showed up. Time to call them to get it sent back and get 30 Days Of Night, Water Horse or Across The Universe, since they make paperwork magically appear even after you've been told to fax it as it can't be found. :wall:

One bit of brightness from this mess that is my rebate.
According to the rep I spoke with, they're just going to send me a copy of 30 Days of Night and I don't have to send back the extra copy of Superbad. :shock:
It should be shipped out in 7 - 14 days, theoretically less. :-s
We'll see what happens with that.

Still not happy with they way they handled "misplacing" my rebate form, and no one having a clue about where it was.

Yeah--this was very poorly handled. When they first started this offer, it was extremely well run. At least I got two copies of Gattaca out of the deal--now just need to find someone who wants to trade for one.
