Update on Pediasure Rebate

Well, I'm still not happy. Over a week after I submitted my problem, I just got a response saying that according to their records the check cleared the bank, and that I need to have the bank check the routing numbers.

So I called my bank. They say that the bank that issued the check returned as a duplicate presentment. However they are reversing the fee. Yay. But now I have to go back to the rebate company and hound them. Not sure this was worth $11.99.

On the plus side, my Home Depot rebate check arrived. Let's hope this one clears with no problems.

Pediasure Rebate Problems

I've sent in four mail-in rebates in the past two months:

• try Pediasure free
• Home Depot $5 off paint (I repainted our living room)
• $10 off Kellogg's Fuel for School rebate
• $20 off Kraft rebate

Home Depot hasn't come yet, but should in the next two weeks. The other three have all arrived. Things were going just swimmingly until I got a notice through Mint that I'd been charged $10 by my bank for a "returned deposit." When I checked, I saw that it was the Pediasure check. So not only did I not get the $11.99 back, but my bank charged me $10 (as if I would expect that check to bounce!).

This rebate was processed through CMS, a rebate processor. I contacted them via their website today, and supposedly will hear back in 3-5 business days. We'll see if they're willing to make this right.
