Crimson Tide (and other Disney) BR Rebate - Anyone have problems?

cleverland · 03-14-2008, 05:35 PM

Disney recently offered a $10 rebate when you buy the BluRay version of Crimson Tide, The Rock and Con Air when you already own the SD Version. I sent in the information including the proof of purchase tabs etc and my letter was returned because the PO Box was closed. Have any of you tried to take advantage of this offer?

Anyone have success or issues with one of these rebates?

This is one of the BVHV titles with a $10 rebate for previous purchasers of the SD DVD. I sent mine in 2/19, and today it came back "Return to Sender" with a stamp on the letter saying that the PO Box was Closed.

I shot a note off to the BVHV BluRay site using their feedback form to ask what the deal was.

Hopefully it was just someone at the processing company with reading comprehension issues.

Dang.....I hate it when I do that!

What was the title of the other thread? I am not a noob here, and searched for threads with "rebate" in the title and got no hits.

Well, thanks for combining them Michael.

Cleverland, I sent a note to BVHV from the Customer Support/Contact Us link that you get from this web site:

Blu-ray Disc® — The Official Blu-ray Disc Website for Buena Vista Home Entertainment

I've given up on rebates. For the most part they are a bunch of BS. I trade my older movies or movies I upgrade in at FYE or Game Stop for credit towards things I want. Stamps cost money and when my rebates don't go through or get sent back, I feel like I've wasted time and money. F**K that noise!

Brian, I followed your link and also send a not to Buena Vista. Your original note was send just a couple minutes ofter mine and Micheal was working on my title (Thank YOU Micheal). If we get an answer it should be interesting because this deal was supposed to run until 12/31/08. Buena Vistas customer service and support has been excellent in the past.

The other title disappeared, because I used a variation of your title for the combined thread. But, as noted, the threads were posted at about the same time, which is probably why it didn't show up on your search. It happens.

There's a much more informative thread about this issue over at AVS that I've been participating in and in a nutshell these $10 rebates are a huge clusterf**k. I bought all 3 Blu-Ray discs(Con Air, The Rock and Crimson Tide) and previously owned all 3 films on DVD. The first 2 rebates(The Rock and Con Air) were returned because they said I didn't include the proper proof-of-purchase even though I sent exactly what they requested. Then today I received the Crimson Tide submission back because the PO Box was closed even though it was the same address that received my so-called incorrect submissions for the other 2 rebates. I'm calling their customer service(1-800-723-4763) on Monday and raising hell for the way I've been screwed around on these submissions. I'm also going to let them know I'll never buy another Buena Vista/Disney title if this is the way they do business.

I'm one of the folks who posted over on AVS about having the rebate form for The Rock returned due to "incorrect" UPC/POP; was told to resubmit everything along w/ a letter explaining the whole situation to a different address. I did receive my rebate check a few days later...although I have no idea if it's for The Rock or Con Air (I submitted for both) since the check/stub doesn't mention anything as to which movie the rebate check is for.

Mine just came back the other day with incorrect address/no forwarding address. It was for Crimson Tide.

Tony, can you please provide that address?

No problems with my Rock rebate. Even though the rebate period started a few days after I bought the BR disc... (glad they still honoured it).
