    They have the printer promo and the ipod promo, both want you to send the UPC of the Mac box, but how do you send 1 UPC too two different promo addresses? Please note that I am in Canada and we can not do the Promo stuff online.

    lol. yeah. have fun with that. its meant to be hell. if it was going to be easy, they would have just given you the discount.

    obviously, you will have to make a copy and send that to one of them. they will reject it. you will have to complain.

    ^ They need not reject it if you prepare everything properly. Doing it from Canada shouldn't be a problem (I mean, why should it?)

    I posted this in a related thread:

    << It's crucial, that all relevant *original* receipts, and UPCs ***cut out (not peeled, etc.) directly from the original packaging, with the cardboard and all*** be included with the rebate form.

    I suggest taping everything on the form.

    If you're applying for two rebates at once, and therefore cannot include original receipts and UPCs (cut out from the box) with both, then I'd suggest making photocopies of everything and including those; indicating however, exactly for which rebate the originals were sent.

    I got my rebate checks for the iPod nano and HP Printer sooner than I expected.

    Note, however, that you'll still have to pay tax for the items rebated. So you won't exactly have them "for free". >>

    Oh, and (this is obvious of course, but still) just to be on the safe side, include the original UPCs, receipts, etc. with the $300 iPod rebate, not the $100 printer rebate!

    Okay, I hope it will work. Hopefully they still have the printer deal when I order it. I don't know why we can't do it online. :|

    I remember when I was filling out my rebates there was a checkbox that said that you had sent in the UPC in a previous rebate. Then you could fill out what the rebate was and some other info, and include a photocopy of it.

    Worked for me on my first time, though it did take a bit of time to come back (they mailed it from halifax, which probably just added more time for e as im in the gta)

    I have done this exact same thing twice. I got the both rebates back within a month. What I did and what I was told to do at the apple store was to make a copy of the upc and write on the paper the upc is copied on: Original UPC with iPod Promo (or vice versa). Again, I have done this process twice without any problems.
