Mail In Movie Rebates - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

I am getting tired of all the mail in rebates for DVD's. Besides asking for original receipt(most of the time), they make you rip up the booklet or cover to get the proof-of-purchase.

Can't they just include a proof-of-purchase that does not need to be cut out of the cover or booklet?

I as a collector will not cut out anything for a few bucks. Now I just hope they would find a better way to do the proof-of-purchase.

I hate to stir up the hornets nest (and I'm sure this has been talked about here before) but the snapper cases usually have nice tear-out tabs on the inside. So convenient.

Yes, they are the only ones that do work... but all those Armaray cases don't and those are the ones you must rip it from the cover or the booklet.

Do you think this is deliberate? Are companies making these offers knowing some collectors won't take advantage of them because they don't want to cut the booklet or cover?

I think the best solution would be a postcard that would be considered as the proof of purchase and would have all the rules on it and space for filling out your name and address.

What's really stupid is when there is a separate insert announcing the offer, but you still have to cut up the booklets. Why not just make that insert count as the POP? The Bond box had one of these.
