What is the Menards "Low Price Guarantee" Policy?

We guarantee our everyday competitive prices. If you find a lower everyday or advertised price on an identical stock item at any local retail competitor that has the item in stock, we'll beat their price by 11% when you buy the identical item from us. All you need to do is just bring us the competitor's current ad. Competitor's closeout, special order, discontinued, clearance, liquidation, and damaged items are excluded from this offer. Rebated offers, those requiring trade-ins, or other conditions precedent or subsequent to qualify for the lower price may also be excluded. Menards reserves the right to exclude other offers as necessary including but not limited to availability or special promotional offers. Any conditions required to qualify for the lower price at a competitor will also be required at Menards. Limited to reasonable quantities for homeowners and one-house order quantities for contractors. Current in-store price, if lower, overrides Menards advertised price. Visit your nearest Menards store for complete details.

Menards has rebates frequently, advertised in their weekly ad.

The rebate comes in the form of a 'check' that is only valid at Menard. Although they are paper like a check, they work like a giftcard in that you do not need to use the entire amount at once, your purchase will be deducted from the check and the cashier will write the new balance on it and give it back to you.

When purchasing items that are NOT FREE after the rebate, say a $2.50 rebate on a $3.00 item, you do not need to purchase any additional merchandise to qualify for the rebate.

ITEMS THAT ARE FREE AFTER REBATE require an additional $10 purchase of non-rebate items.

There are several ways to get to the $10.00...
I usually keep a list of hardware type items I need and then use that when I go for the rebates.
If I can't find what I need, I've bought a $10 Menards GC and that has worked.
The OOP price of other rebate items that are not FAR I figure into my total for $10 (using the example in the 2nd paragraph, my OOP .50¢ would be figured into my $10.)

Always look to find ALL flyers for the day you are shopping. Menards overlaps the dates on their ads, so you can shop from more than one ad. All the ads are available at their website.

You can mail all your rebates in one envelope. When I have more than one rebate in there I write "Menards Rebates" in the title, but I've never been told what to put there. Always scan all of your documents before sending and save them in a file on your computer. "Menards Rebates"

Menards Rebates
PO Box 28
Elk Mound WI 54739-0028

I 'roll' my rebates, by using the previous check to pay for the new items, although it will always be $10 more because of the additional purchase required.

Check your rebates online at RebateInternational.com - Track Your Rebate and put in your name and house #.

I had to get a sorry slip yesterday for a product that wouldn't be in till the last day of the sale. I asked if it would be ok to send the rebate in a few days after the date. The employee (who seemed very confident) said they accept rebates up to 2 weeks past the send-in by date. Just thought I'd share

[couponcrazy5950]

Just an FYI--Menard's on East Ave. in Hodgkins (?), IL does NOT take IPs.

If you purchase multiple free after rebate items on the same receipt do you need $10 in non-rebate items for each rebate or just per receipt?

For example in this weekend's sale I purchased 9 different free after rebate items and then read the fine print on the rebate forms about the $10 purchase requirements. I do have at least $10 in non-rebate items on the receipt but not $90 if it's one per rebate item.

I haven't mailed them in because now I'm wondering if I should return them and need to re-buy with more items?

Thanks!

[namdog]

I am new to Menards.
I asked two employees(one is from the counter with lots of rebate forms)
Both of them said $10 is ok to cover all Free-After-Rebate items on the receipt.

Can anyone tell me how long it takes to get the Menards rebates back? I mailed mine in about three weeks ago and it isn't even avaliable for tracking yet on their site. Starting to get worried, this was my first one and I went a little crazy.

[namdog]

From my first personal experience,
Menards issued the rebate check 2 days after the expiration date of rebate.

I don't know if it is a general rule. Just FYI.

[cybilx10]

Usual rule of thumb is 6-8 weeks for processing after rebate expires.

Just wondering if this is still the case or not. In the past I remember seeing in the weekly ads that the Free after Rebate items specifically said you had to have the $10 non-rebate item purchase, but I haven't seen that wording in the ads these days.

Anyone know for sure?
