Update: Good news! I just discovered both a printable coupon and online coupon code, 97508715, that will take $10 off any $50 purchase at Office Depot. Since the coupon is store-issued and the rebates come from the manufacturer, you should be able to use the coupon, plus submit for these rebates. That would make the software better-than-free.
***
Office Depot has two more free-after-rebate software deals this week. As always, you’ll get free shipping when you buy online and spend $50+. These taken together are $49.98, so just add in some paper clips, binders or push pins for less than $1 so your order qualifies for free shipping.
Digital TV for PC lets you watch over 1,000 television channels from the comfort of your desktop or notebook computer. You’ll also be able to listen to radio stations from around the world.
Buy Digital TV for PC for $19.99, then submit for $20 mail-in rebate. They ran a rebate in late May, but this looks like a new one so I think you could do it again if you want.
Print Artist is a graphic design software that helps you create print projects at home.
Print Artist is $29.99, but there are two separate mail-in rebate forms that taken together will get you this software free. The first is this $20 mail-in rebate form. The second, a $10 mail-in rebate form, prints at checkout when you purchase this product.
As for that second rebate form, I called my local store and the clerk confirmed that it prints on the bottom of the receipt. I also called the 1-800 Customer Service number to see if it prints when you purchase the software online, but couldn’t get confirmation of that. All told, your best bet is to get this one in-store. If you’re brave enough to try ordering this online to see if the second form prints, please let us know.
Your turn: Have you ever given free-after-rebate software as a gift?

About Carrie Rocha
The $20 mail-in rebate for the Print Artist requires the UPC label (plus the original or copy of the receipt). Can anyone tell us if the $10 mail-in rebate form requires the UPC label too?
Drava – It shouldn’t since Office Depot advertised in their ad that you could submit both rebates and if you need two UPC forms that wouldn’t work. I’d call a local store to ask for sure.
A couple of points:
–The coupon is not valid on technology or software. While a cashier might over-ride for the coupon, the website of course will not.
From the terms of the coupon:
“Not valid for purchases: 1) made in Office Depot outlet/clearance
stores; 2) of Gift Cards; 3) of any technology or consumer electronic products and
accessories or media and software products; 4) of product protection plans; 5) of
postage or mailing/shipping services; 6) HP ink or toner; or 7) of Tech Depot Services
or third party services.”
– For Darva, the terms of the rebates will allow both the $20 and $10 to be submitted properly.
–There is a whole bunch of software free after rebate beginning 06/27/2010. I wrote the following for another board. I hope it’s ok to re-post my own work here:
Office Depot FAR software beginning 06/27/2010
I have tried a new category system. In the top section, are products that have rebates which are completely new in this offer period. In the bottom section, are products with rebates, standard and/or upgrade, that have been going on for longer than the current offer period.
Most rebates are valid through at least 07/24/2010. I have tried to note if the rebate’s last purchase date ends before then.
There are a couple of rebates that are still not available. I will update when I can.

* – CONTINUING = CONTINUING means the rebate did not begin in this time period so it is necessary to check your rebate log to determine whether you have done this rebate already.
As for the “link”s not working, I just copied and pasted figuring the bulletin board code used where I usually post this would not work here and I was not going to re-link everything.
That online code does not apply to technology. See the message I got: “Your order has not met the qualifying total of $50.00, for Coupon 097508715, This may be the result of certain product exclusions. Your current qualifying amount is $.79.” which was the paper clips to meet the $50.
oops, should have read the above post first.
I purchased in store both the Print Artist and the Digital TV for PC2. I tried use the $10 coupon, but it would not scan. The checkout person read the coupon and would not allow me to use it for software. So if someone is overriding to allow for purchases of software, count yourself lucky! Many thanks to bpvh for all the useful software info.
