CAGiversary!
Not sure if this has been posted already, but didn't see it....got the new FYE flyer in today's paper at it has a CLASSIC NES SERIES section. The games are 19.99 and there's a retro SP pictured with a bubble that says "69.99 Gameboy Advance Game System after mail-in rebate.) This seems like a pretty sweet deal, i'd get it if I didn't already have an SP. These were posted before but they also have Fight Night 2004, MVP 2004, and Harry Potter (PS2 only for HP) advertised for 19.99 after $30 rebate. Non-game related but they also have some real good deals on dvd's, simpsons seasons 1-3 9.99 each after rebate, spider man deluxe w/ free SM2 tickets 9.99 AR, Scarface deluxe ed. and LOTR: TTT 24.99 after rebate, 24 Season 2 19.99 AR. Some good movies for 9.99 also.

I will definately be hitting FYE's tomorrow morning...

Does anyone have scans of the rebate forms for the Simpsons DVDs? They didn't have any forms left when I hit the store at 8:45 the last night of the sale and scored all 3 seasons for $15 each... :D

Edit: Found one over at FW. Thanks!
 
My friend and I are haven't a lot of problems with this rebate deal. We went to FYE and bought 3 GBA's (one for each of the people that wanted one). So we went there and to our surprise we found out the deal really is that you have to buy a system (GBA or GameCube) WITH a purchase of a $14.99 or more game.

We went back to the store thinking that we would be able to trade the unopened games for a copy of Legend of Zelda: Four Swords and two link cables (which would be more than what we paid for the games and were willing to pay for the difference). When we got there, they refused to trade the games that were unopened.

So now we figured that the rebate doesn't say anything about buying GBA games for buying a GBA system, so would try use the games FF:CC and Four Swords instead of the game that we bought for the GBA. We called ahead of time, and even though the rebate says nothing of buying games for the systems you bought, the store manager (which we already talked with twice about this) said that it wasn't possible. So I'm asking all the cheap asses out there for your help, and advice on how we can come out some what on top. Thanks to anyone that helps!!!!! :D
 
I'd like to help but you have to be a little bit clearer. The ad I saw, in addition to the rebate form I completed, mentioned nothing about having to buy any games. Im looking at it right now in fact. It has the GBA's, MVP Baseball, Fight Night, Harry Potter, and Xbox systems. All seperate rebate amounts for each.

If you purchased any games from FYE and you have your receipt just return them if you don't want them.

I'm not really sure what your problem is...but if you have a different rebate form than the one I described I can scan a copy and email it to you...there's nothing that says the rebate form can't be reproduced, in fact FYE often runs out and has to make photocopies.

Thanks for your help jshorr, it is a very confusing thing I know. I think that what you came up is the best plan. So if you wouldn't mind sending me a copy of your rebate. I will send you mine if you want to compare it. I think its strange that the same store would have the same kind of deal, but different rebates, if that makes any sense. Well thanks again.
 
[quote name='california1967']Man too bad i just saw this thread today, i would have picked one up![/quote]

According to the rebate that I got, you had until the 30th of this month to cash in on it. Off course mine was the one where you had to buy a game for it also.
 
Ok I scanned the rebate form. All I actually had left was a photocopy of my submission, since I sent out the original. I had to use paint to remove my info (I am not artist sorry) and it's sloppy but im sure it's fine for submission. Like I said FYE often runs out and has to photocopy. If anyone needs it PM me with your address and I'll email it. The valid dates are 6/11 - 6/19 and it's all GBA's plus some XBoxs and other stuff....but no game requirement for the GBA's.
 
Just wanted to confirm for everyone that I just got the emails back from the first set of FYE rebates I sent in the week before last. They were for 7 DVD's I bought that had rebates. I didn't want to cut the UPC's off any of my products, so I photocopied the UPC's from the boxes, and included the original price stickers which also have the UPC's on them. I got 7 emails that linked to rebateshq and said this:

Your rebate is valid and is in the final stages of processing. You should receive your rebate per the terms and conditions listed on the coupon.

Anything can happen until the rebates are actually in-hand, but I think it's safe to say everything was accepted and I'll be getting all of my rebates shortly, without having to deface my stuff! I used the same method sending in my GBA SP rebate and I think everything will be fine with that as well.

Just wanted to mention, in case anyone else runs into this......

All the MIR on dvd's from FYE I did were accepted no problem with the price sticker (which has the UPC on it) instead of the actuall box UPC. However, the GBA SP Retro MIR I filled out came back as invalid / missing original UPC. I called their toll free number 1-888-221-4692. I had to mess around in the system a bit to get a live person, I think I told it I received an invalid form, and had sent it in more than 6 months ago (otherwise it hangs up on you.) When I got a person, I explained to her that I did not want to deface my original box, and that when I purchased the item they said that the price sticker UPC was good enough. The CSR said no problem and validated my rebate on the spot, now when I check the website the invalid stuff is gone and it says valid - processing. I'd say once again I'm pretty happy with FYE rebates.
 
I think these rebates are still going on. I just bought an Online Pack PS2 for $119.99 after rebates and all I have to send in for the UPC is the price sticker. They said that the price stickers are valid as UPC's so you don't have to cut up your game covers. I did see the MVP and Fight Night with the $30 rebates, and XBox also has the $30 rebate.

The $30 MIR on Playstation 2 and X Box is still going on at Strawberries, I'm not sure if it's still ongoing in all FYE and affiliate stores.

I just purchased an X Box and the MIR is valid from July 1 to August 31.

Also, I traded in a bunch of old CD's I had lying around and got $100 credit, so after the rebate the X Box will have cost me a whopping 20 dollars.
 
I was in FYE today
GBA SP Retro rebate is NOT good anymore (;-;)
and for whoever asked about Reno 911, it is on sale for $21.99 w/ a $10 MIR
 
There were 2 different rebates on the SP's. One was with a game, one without. ALso, keep in mind untill you actually see the form in-hand you never know if someone on the phone is giving you the wrong info.

This thread was just for the GBA SP and some movie deals that ran a few weeks ago, I think someone should start a new thread for other fye stuff.

[quote name='Akkis99']Thats weird. I called yesterday and they said the rebate is still on for the GBA SP.[/quote]
 
[quote name='meteors']Grrrr I want this deal on the retro GBA but there's no FYE in Michigan![/quote]

At the Great Lakes Outlet mall North of Detroit there is an FYE.
