Please read through the top ten most frequently asked questions before submitting an online support request.  Please also note that the Mr. Rebates Help Center also has a wider selection of questions and answers about Mr. Rebates.
1. How long does it take for a rebate to be posted to my account after I have placed an order at a Mr. Rebates' store?
 

Most orders are reported in a short time from either the ship date or order date depending on merchant policy. On average, rebates get credited within 3-5 business days (sometimes earlier) from the order date or the ship date.

However, it can take up to 30 days after the order date for Mr. Rebates to receive confirmation of the purchase or that an offer has been completed.


2. How do I shop at a Mr. Rebates' store and earn cash back?
  The only action required to get a cash back rebate is to simply click on your desired store and make your purchase in that same click session.  Your click-through from Mr. Rebates activates a code in the store's shopping cart that will make sure that you are credited with the rebate.

Each order from a participating store requires a unique click-through from Mr. Rebates.  If you are making multiple orders then make sure you have a separate store click for each corresponding order.

Please note that rebates do not show up in a store's shopping cart.  Rebates are credited a few days later in your Mr. Rebates' account.


3. Why I am being logged out of Mr. Rebates after successfully logging in?
  If you are continually being logged off of Mr. Rebates after you successfully login, your browser "cookie" settings may not be allowing the Mr. Rebates website to work correctly.  Please click here to learn how to easily change your browser cookie settings and fix this browser issue.

4. Can I still get a rebate if I forgot to click-through to a store at Mr. Rebates?
  Unfortunately, orders placed outside of Mr. Rebates do not qualify for cash back rebates. If the rebate is important to you then the only other thing that can be done is to cancel the original order and re-order through a Mr. Rebates link.  That decision is up to you however.

5. Are orders placed via telephone or in-store purchases eligible for rebates?
  Only orders placed online at Mr. Rebates are eligible for rebates.

6. What happens if I exchange a product or make changes to an order?
  Contacting a store to change an order (even for an exchange) can sometimes negate the cash back rebate.  The reason for this is that some stores will negate the first original order and generate a new order that does not have a rebate tied to it.

When making changes to an order, our best advice would be to cancel your original order and re-order through Mr. Rebates (if the rebate is important to you).


7. Do I have to do anything special when checking out of an online store from Mr. Rebates?
  Not at all.  As long as you have clicked on a link to an online partner store through the Mr. Rebates web site and you are a logged-in member then you don't need to do anything special when you are checking out of a store and purchasing your items.  You also don't need to email us confirmation of your purchase as we will receive confirmation from the merchant you shopped with.

8. What is the difference between "Pending Rebates" and "Available Rebates"?
  Pending Rebates are initially posted to your account upon initial receipt of an order from one of our partner stores.  Pending Rebates stay in a "Pending" state for 90 days (based on the "Posting Date") to account for different store return policies and ample time for collection of commissions from stores.

Once Pending Rebates have moved to Available status, those rebates can be "cashed in" by requesting a payment via check or Paypal.  Please note that you must meet the minimum amount of Available Rebates needed to request payment which is $10.


9. Can I use coupons featured at Mr. Rebates when I shop at your partner stores?
  Absolutely!  Be sure that you use coupons that are posted here at Mr. Rebates.  Please also make sure that discounts, %'s off or free offers are present in the shopping cart of the participating merchant.  Mr. Rebates is not responsible for coupons that are expired or incorrectly redeemed by our members.

10. Are purchases of gift cards or payment via gift cards eligible for cash back rebates?
  Some stores do offer cash back for gift card purchases as listed here.  However, any store not listed in that "Gift Cards" category do not offer cash back for gift card purchases.

Purchases made with gift card redemption or gift certificate redemption as the full or partial payment method are not eligible for cash back rebates.
