162 is the same as 0162,. The zero does NOT matter. If it was any other number than 0 then yes it would not be the same number.

I was wondering if I could use my rebates to pay on my Menards credit card for purchases I made later in the year?

I’m kinda confused now. I got a different rebate receipt then I’m used to. It says Rebate #162 Receipt. Am I to guess that means 0162? I don’t see no other 4 digit number. Also today’s the final mailing date and they already took the rebate down from the site (looking for the name and neither are there.) Shouldn’t they wait till the end of the day at least since I know I could send it out for a couple more hours?

Hi all, sorry to bring up questions so late in the game! I’m familiar with Menards rebates, I’ve used them several times. But now, doing it habitually, it’s getting tricky. Can anyone help?!?
*I send in forms in Nov & Dec. Dec is showing processed, but Nov is nowhere to be found! It hasn’t been 6 weeks, so I’m hoping they just processed out of order. Has this happened to anyone else?
*The rebate tracking form requires a 24-26 digit number, but menards rebate receipt has a 28 digit number! I can only track with my name/address, and they’ve entered it three ways so far! I’m wondering if a typo is responsible for my “missing” Nov submission, but since I can’t use the receipt number to track, who knows. (PS, I’ve emailed the rebate site about this, waiting on a response)
*Can I use more than one credit check per purchase?
*Do I have to use the entire credit check in a purchase?
*With the info from the last two Q’s, what is your preferable way to submit? I’ve simply submitted everything I’ve purchased at once, when it’s to the same PO Box, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to use it all at once. I’m also afraid if I break it up I can’t use more than one check per purchase.
thanks in advance!

^Dan,

I work at a menards. And no, technically it’s not true. But you could send the rebates a few days apart in two different envelopes, though you would get two different rebates, or use a different address/name, and get two different ones also.

A clerk at menards told me something about the rebate progam, that I don’t think is true. Example I buy 2 tape measure for $3 each with the rebate of 2 they are free. I need to buy 4 the clerk said I could go back in line and get another rebate. I said you can’t send only 1 rebate per address. She said that didn’t matter because I have a different sales receipt. Is this true

^Brandi,

I am a team member at a Menards and I am not sure how they organize them. It could be just random on how they put them on the cards.

No, they do not expire, ever. I am a team member at a Menards.

The customer service rep at Menards West St Paul told me that they only load 5 rebates per certificate. Does anyone know if they organize how many they’ll do for you by number, dollar amount, or what? I’m wondering if I send five of them from xx80 through xx89, for example, if I’d get them any faster than if it’s a random set of rebates.

It doesn’t matter how you pay. I don’t have a Menards card but I have a hearty handful of rebate certificates.

To mike,

Let’s say in the spring I bought a couple gallons of anti freeze that had rebates, sent in my rebate info, and received the rebate. Now, the same anti freeze is on special, with rebate, can I get this deal again? I’m not sure if it’s the same rebate #, but it is the same product.

Thanks

To Susan above, if you go into a Menards store, they can print from over a year ago… I work there, I will see if a rebate is still available when I go in tomm I will leave a reply on here if it is or not

There have been times when I mail the rebates late…and have always gotten them. But there have been a few instances, like now, where I don’t have the rebate form…such as #5958. When I go to the Menards site I can’t print one because it’s passed it’s date. Would I be able to send it in without a form, or should I use another form & cross off the rebate number putting this one on or is there a secret place to get an old form? Or do I just lose it? Thanks.

I just looked at my Menards receipt and have discovered why you should NEVER use your rebates to buy a gift card. It is because when you bought your item – you paid tax on the rebated amount. I always knew that and counted it towards my ‘cost’ of the item. What I did NOT know is that when you purchase with the rebate, the taxable total is what is left after the rebate. Meaning, you are credited the tax! For example: I have a $10 rebate that made my item free, so when I bought it, I actually paid $10*1.07125 or $10.71 (and I thought my cost was $0.71). Then I took my rebate and bought a $10 item that was taxable and my out of pocket was $0 – because they deduct the rebate and calculate the tax on the remaining amount of the transaction. If you buy a gift card, they calculate the tax and then deduct the gift card, so for this example, I would have paid another $0.71!
