Hey Ladies~
For the pink kitchenware set, will it work if I did the HE deal and got a total of 6 items. So 3 were free from RA and 3 were free from the coupons. The total for all six was about 29.00 but if the 3 RA free ones don't count then I only spent 15.00ish. Does this make sense?

I honestly feel it's 15ish because the receipt is showing $0.00 for their bogo sale.

I'm pretty sure the freebies don't count toward the Pink Cookware offer, only products that have a dollar value on the receipt.

I've done the HE deal twice using 6 q's each time with no problem (my store is coupon-friendly). I am having trouble with the Cross Action toothbrush though. Even though I'm buying the right brush it's not showing up in my SCR. I need to call about that this morning...

I am on the phone with RA about my toothbrush rebate right now. It isn't working on my SCR acct.

Ugh. The next time I tell you guys I'm calling about a SCR, stop me and tell me to just beat my head against a brick wall instead.

Ok, I called and got the scoop. Originally I bought a 40 soft toothbrush, which is supposed to qualify for the SCR. It was ringing up at $5.49 and I didn't notice till I paid. I returned that one. I bought the other one pictured in the ad, and it rang up $2.99. When I called, the woman just told me that the 40 soft is the one that qualifies and that I bought a toothbrush that is going to be on rebate 11/26-11/28 only. She said I bought it too early. I told her I bought the item in the ad, and also told her about the other one ringing up $5.49. She put me on hold and came back and said that "as a one time courtesy, I'll be sending a $2.99 check to you for the rebate even though you did not buy the correct item." Whatever. They need to check their records. I told her I'd spoken with others who did not have the correct Oral B qualify for the SCR either. I also told her that the 40 soft is obviously not programmed right because I bought that one first (the one that rang up $5.49) and it didn't qualify for the SCR. Luckily I still had the receipt for the one that rang up wrong. It's just a mess, so double-check your Oral B rebates.

Thanks for the cookware response. Can I use multiple receipts to qualify or does it have to be all in one?

petergabrielfan · 11-11-2009, 10:43:47 AM

It has to be in one purchase.

Read my post #41- the toothbrush that works is #52. I got the SCR for it.

I did read your post earlier and wrote that down, but that item was not working at my store. It rang up $5.49 instead of $2.99. RA's position is that people are not buying the correct toothbrush when what they have listed and what is ringing up as a SCR item are totally different.

You can combine a manufacturer coupon with a RA coupon (bar code beginning with RC) but to my knowledge you can't combine a Video Values coupon and a RA ad coupon. The only exception to that would be the $5/$25 or $5/$20 that are not tied to specific products. HTH.

I've done it before...it is the same as Walgreens...when they have a coupon in the paper, one in the monthly booklet and one manufacture.
