Mail-in-rebates – Keeping Organized

Following is my method in organizing my rebates and forms. In my filing cabinet, I have a special file just for my rebate forms. When I get a new rebate form, I make out an envelope for that rebate, as if I am ready to mail it, except do not put a stamp on it. In the place where you place the stamp, write the date when the product needs to be purchased. I draw a line under that date and then write the date the rebate needs to be postmarked. I store all these envelopes in my rebate file. … Continue reading →

Finances and Giving

Admittedly, I am not the best person to be giving advice about giving and finances; so I’m not going there. There does seem to be a supernatural impact in giving though whether by our time or with money. I remember years ago when my husband and I were starting out. We were poor. We prided ourselves in not getting over our heads into debt, but did find ourselves charging our rent a couple times to make due. He was working 40 hours a week and I about 30. We were just beginning to understand what leaning on God for our … Continue reading →

Rebate Tips

I have a confession to make. I do not photocopy my rebates! I have been doing rebates for almost three years and on an average, I send away for about 15- 20 rebates a month. In the three years I have been doing rebates, I have had maybe less than five of them not come or are denied. To me, that is such a small number when I look at how many I have sent and that is where I justify not doing the extra work of making copies. In addition, of the ones I did not receive or were … Continue reading →

What is a mail-in-rebate?

Rebates are fun and easy to do! I would bet, everyone loves to get checks in the mail. Sometimes it may only be a few dollars, sometimes more, but everything adds up quickly. During most months of doing rebates, I can count on cashing in $70 – $100. I save them up and once a month I take them to the bank for a big pay out. Now who wouldn’t love to have an extra $100 a month? The standard return rate of rebates are usually 6-8 weeks. Some people feel that is too long to wait to receive a … Continue reading →
