Menards 11% rebate problems Rebate ripoff Internet
My wife and I specifically purchased our new kitchen cabinets at Menards to take advantage of the 11% rebate offer they were running. I was exepcting a rebate in the form of a store credit for about $500. I received the check over the weekend and it was for $50.61. The rebate receipts showed the actual rebate amount on the bottom but it looks like they gave me 11% of the rebate amount instead of 11% of the purchase amount. I have e-mailed the rebate provider hoping this was just a clerical error on their part. If not, I will be doing my future shopping at Home Depot and Lowe's.

We have also been having rebate issues with Menards. They had the 11% rebate a month ago or so also, and I mailed in all of our rebate receipts. We remodeled an entire house, so we had a lot of rebate slips. Thankfully I made copies of them all! The rebate amount was supposed to be around $500.00, and we got a check for around $150.00. I contacted them and scanned the copies I made, so they said they would send a check out. By this time, we had moved into the house we were remodeling, so when we didn't get the rebate, I emailed them again and they said they sent it out but it came back with a forwarding address. They said the resent it on April 12th, but it is now April 18th and we still don't have it. If the rebate check is coming from the same place you send the rebates, it shouldn't take that long to get from Elk Mound, WI to Baraboo, WI. I think they try to see if people will notice or fight the amounts they get! We just sent in 2 more rebates, one for the $3.00 insulation rebate and another one for the new 11% rebate, funny how we got back the $3.00 one but not the $222.00 one when they got sent out the same day.
