Update on the Rite-Aid SCR AVEENO Deal Snafu

Rite-Aid has already responded to my email about the AVEENO Rebate problem I posted about HERE. 

"Please be advised that the Aveeno Shave Gel products qualify for Offer #5.  Your account will reflect this correction within 24-48 hours. 

We apologize for the inconvenience."

Sincerely,
XXXXXXX
Rite Aid Single Check Rebates
Customer Service

I was surprised to hear back so quickly!  And I'm glad the item will count toward the rebate total.  Let's hope they correct this as quickly as they say they well. ;-)

If you have an issue with not being credited for this purchase under your Single Check Rebate, please log into Rite-Aid and email them about it.

And a reader, Laurie, posted a comment that she doesn't use any rebate items until the rebate check arrives.  If something doesn't get credited, she returns the item.  Pretty smart advise I say!  Hang onto those receipts so you have that option.  8-)

Attention Rite-Aid Shoppers! About the AVEENO SCR #5.....

My receipts went through for my Rite-Aid purchases on Sunday and it looks like the AVEENO SHAVE GEL does NOT qualify for the Aveeno #5 Offer in the October Single Check Rebate Program.

I have sent off an inquiry to Rite-Aid Rebates on this matter.
This truly pisses me off.

First off, the big glossy Rebate Booklet does NOT state anywhere in it that this product is excluded from the #5 Offer.   Both online and in the printed literature it states that the valid items are....
"Aveeno Skincare or Haircare Products".
The last time I looked a man's beard was part of his SKIN and located on his FACE!  Now look at the photo above of the product....where it says THERAPEUTIC.....and then it says SMOOTHS DRY, SENSITIVE SKIN!!??!!
It's a shaving aid but Aveeno also touts this product as a SKINCARE item with that kind of wording!  I man isn't going to slather on skin cream on his face(a large part of which is beard area), he's going to slather on shave gel with skincare properties.

In addition, the Rite-Aid store were I purchased this AVEENO SHAVE GEL has the AVEENO #5 REBATE Shelf Tag attached right under this product.  Gee, the store is TELLING ME that this Shave Gel item qualifies for the Rebate!  Are they LYING to me?  Isn't that FALSE ADVERTISING RITE-AID?!?!
So I popped into a different Rite-Aid location this morning and guess what?.....That store had the AVEENO REBATE shelf tag up under the AVEENO SHAVE GEL also!

Rite-Aid Corporate and the Local Stores really need to get their Sh......aving Cream together!

If you need to contact Rite-Aid's SCR Program because of this problem as well, try emailing them at rebates@rebates.riteaid.com or go HERE and fill out the form.
I'll let ya'll know what happens but I am expecting a canned response and NO SATISFACTION.
Just call me one of the Rolling Stones today.....

I hear a Beef Bourguignon calling my name!
