Research shows that upwards of 60% of mail-in rebates are never collected. Why? Because consumers make mistakes following the tedious directions rebates require. And who makes out? The manufacturers!
Common mail-in rebate errors and mistakes:
- Forgetting the UPC bar code
- Missing the deadline for submission
- Forgetting a copy of the receipt
- Filling out the form improperly
- Always make copies for your records
How Rebate Remedy is trying to help
Rebate Remedy is a fee-based service that expedites your rebate in days, not weeks or months. However since we started this business almost 2 years ago, we have made significant strides in trying to help consumers by contacting customers who have made mistakes with their rebate submission to us. Unlike traditional clearinghouses, we will not automatically discard you rebate or send you a letter informing you that you will not be receiving your rebate due to errors. We will contact you within days of us receiving your rebate submission. You will need to fill out our Information & Assignment Forms to use our service, but we only require this so we can contact you and have the right to process your rebate.
Submitted your rebate to another clearinghouse or manufacturer
Unfortunately, we have no affiliation with any clearinghouses or manufacturers, so if you have already submitted your rebate elsewhere, we cannot help you at this point. Our best advice it to contact them directly. There are some websites out there that will allow you to track you rebates submitted, Google “rebate tracking” to find them.
PLEASE READ YOU REBATE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY and don’t forget to fill out the Rebate Remedy Assignment and Customer Info forms, so we can expedite you rebate.

I agree with you comments about how rebates require tedious directions. I recently recieved a letter back from a clearinghouse stating I had mad a mistake submitting a mail in rebate. I had no opportunity to fix the mistake. Just a letter explaining I would not be recieving my $50. I had no recourse because I neglected to make any photo copies.
I like the notion that you allow consumers the opportunity to fix their mistakes. This could be the first steps in improving the rebate industry.
Thanks,
