My syndicated Super-Couponing Tips column for the week is entitled “Good mail-in rebate practices.”
Here’s an excerpt:
“I’ve grown frustrated with rebates denied for reasons such as “did not purchase qualifying item” when I know I did, or “rebate received after redemption period expired” when I know I mailed it in prior to the cutoff date. ”

Jill, I read your article about rainchecks after reading this article, and I have a question about the raincheck article. You wrote,
” While law requires stores to issue rainchecks when an advertised sale item is unavailable, the law does not require them to accept coupons on raincheck items. ”
If law requires stores to issue rainchecks when an advertised sale item is unavailable, why is Meijer allowed to say, “No rainchecks” in their ads on some of their sale items? I have run into the “no raincheck” issue there quite a few times.

There is an exception to the law for time-limited or quantity-limited sale items versus general, advertised-all-week-to-everyone sale items. Typically, when I see that wording in Meijer’s ads, it’s during a Two Day sale or the like. I will research the specific law on this further for a future column, as that’s a great question worthy of an extended answer.
