Finish Mail In Rebate

Remember the Finish Mail In Rebate? Did you do it? I blogged about it here. It was available on purchases of the 20 ct Finish Quantum made by May 4th. Anyways, people often as me if MIRs are a good idea. Do they really come? Well, I have been doing them for awhile now and I can tell you so far I have always received all of my rebates, and I have done tons!
The best way to get the most out of them is to:
1. Combine them with coupons, this one had a $2 off coupon
 2.Combine them with Shoppers 20X the points if you can. This meant that instead of having to spend $50, I spent $40 at a 20X the points event.
3. Combine them with 10% off days at Safeway
The best way to track your MIRs:
1.  Mark it on the calendar when you send it in.
2.Always photocopy or scan your original form and receipt.
I sent this one in on April 16th. The form said receive up to $8.49. My cheque is for $10.12!!!! I am still waiting for several Physician's Formula Rebates, but they say you'll wait 10 weeks and it usually takes that long.
