Most of the time I find the Mail in Rebates in the inserts within the local newspaper and at times inside the flyers. I ask people to save me their inserts, and my father gathers them from his friends. It is important to remember that you can only receive one Mail In Rebate per address. I use my address, my father's address, and my in-law's address.
Mail In Rebates require you to send in the original cash register receipt. You need to circle the item on your cash register receipt, and write at the top the numbers as they appear on the UPC (THIS IS THE BARCODE).
I purchase my items for Mail In Rebates at stores where I can get points. On days when Shoppers Drug Mart has 20x the points day when you spend $50 I try to get a Mail In Rebate to help get me to that total. My other favorite store to purchase Mail In Rebate Offers is Sobeys, so I can collect Airmiles on the total price. Remember if you are at Shoppers Drug Mart and paying, purchase a Shoppers Drug Mart gift card in a separate transaction to receive your Optimum points. At Sobeys pay with your gift card that you have from buying them during their promotions.Then you get your cash back when your cheque arrives.
I buy my stamps at Costco. They are the cheapest place to purchase them.
A cheque is mailed out to you within 4-6 weeks. I find them come much faster.
For the price of a stamp, Mail In Rebates help build up your stockpile and Optimum points as well as Airmiles. Items that I will not use I usually still do the Mail In Rebate to donate them. Recently I used some of the items to give to a local refugee family, and my daughters' Girl Guides Penny Auction. Random times I fill up a bag of things that I have gotten for free that I don't use and when people visit I tell my friends to take a few things.
