Tracking #********** and **********. For **********:I submitted receipt for Cutwater rebate beginning of April. Cutwater rebate offers $1 for purchasing one healthy item with limit of 24 items ($24). Their website had been showing status as pending for weeks. Contacted them several times via chat. Over the last chat they offered me $1 for that submission. When i declined and pointed out there were close to 30 items on receipt and that my rebate should be maxxed at $24, was told receipt was illegible and to email copy again- which i did. A week or so later the sent me $1 digital card. Contracted again and was again asked to email a better copy. Giving a run around no matter what!For **********, please review the chat and nonsensical explanation they shared.Providing receipt and all conversations here

I have a few gainful liquor stores that keep the post'. They never DT-CHANNEL. I am new to the no refund policy and is there a way to have just a refund situation for them to have an investment in the industry that they can't afford. I bought two 6packs of you Stella ****** and two of them were flat. I have the reciept for the last one, with best buy #**MAR26su2149, and the one I bought for January best buy #**JAN26su2049 I may have lost. I have four from my January 2025 purchase and five from my purchase on 15th of April 2025. I planned on opening the ones from January later because of the flat, decided the pack from this week wouldn't go flat, but it had the same didn't make the foam flat. Now I own two packs with flat.

A rebate was offered under the following stated terms:Code: AB-8880 Description: Get $20 back via rebate on the purchase of $50 or more of Groceries with the purchase of two (2) 12-packs or one (1) 18-pack or larger of any Bud ***** or Budweiser product.Limit: 1 Purchase Dates: 2/10/2025 to 4/30/2025 Submit By: 5/14/2025 Valid in: **, **, **, **, SC, TN ******************* Get $20 back via rebate on the purchase of $50 or more of Groceries with the purchase of two (2) 12-packs or one (1) 18-pack or larger of any Bud ***** or Budweiser product. Paid via Bud ***** prepaid digital Mastercard. Under these terms I purchased a 24 pack of ********* on February 24, 2025. Over $50 in groceries were also purchased, as needed for the $20 rebate. The receipt for the purchase, as well as a photo of the Budweiser UPC, were submitted electronically to the following website:******************************************* All terms of the stated rebate were completed by me, in good faith. The ************** however, informed me that my rebate did not pass their audit process. After multiple calls to the ************* attempting to receive specifics on this audit process, I have finally received an email stating, offer code AB-8880 was not launched by ******************* directly, instead it was launched by a particular store and for this reason, this submission did not pass audit process. This explanation lacks credibility as this is a manufacturers rebate. I fail to understand how this is not consumer fraud as the terms of the rebate are clear and were not honored by *******************. I have included a copy of my purchase receipt proving the validity of my claim. Thank you for any help you can provide.

1/18/2025 Submitted a Rebate claim for a promotion through ******************* online platform, ****************. promotion was for $18 if $50 groceries were purchased. I purchased $54 of groceries plus a 24 pack of Budweiser for a total of over $80. I read the promotion thoroughly and made sure the grocery items satisfied the promotion. Receipt and upc code were submitted with my personal information through the mybeerrebate website immediately after purchase. On 1/21/25 I received an email stating an audit found my purchase did not meet the criteria for the promotion. I would not receive my $18 rebate. I called a phone number listed in the email and was told they had the receipt and upc code, they did meet the criteria and another department would review and get back to me in 7 to 10 business days. I did not hear back on the promised timeframe. I called the same number on 2/4/25 and was told I the company would not be reviewing my submission and I was out the $18 I was owed for my rebate. I usually drink another brand of beer and would not have made the purchase if not for this rebate offer. They had a prospective customer but will not until ******************* resolves this issue by providing the $18 rebate and an apology for the error on their part.

I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because: although the business states they will reach out to their rebate partners - a rebate has not been delivered yet. I do hope to hear back from their rebate partner and will happily be satisfied when I am either provided the rebate I feel I deserve or the company can provide a valid reason why I do not qualify for the rebate.

Sincerely,

I submitted everything I needed (Copy of the *** and the Store receipt and a tracking number ********** for the rebate) up to 2 times for this offer of $5.00. On 1/21/25 the pre paid card for $5.00 was sent to my email on this date. However the card DOESN'T work. I've tried the card several times on different websites the card won't be accepted, even though when I look at the balance it states It still has $5 on it, but it wont work anywhere. I've attached photos for the store receipt, the **** The rebate tracking number. I've also included screencaps of the pre paid card along with screencaps showing there is still $5 balance on the card. I've also included screen caps showing that the card has been declined when I tried to use it several times. Can you please just sent me a check in the mail for $5.00 for the rebate as the card won't work. I feel I've completed all the steps for the rebate but still can't enjoy the $5.00 I was supposed to be getting back. Please if you can help me

I need to speak to the Director or VP of the rebates department. I have 6 rebates that were errantly denied. I emailed the rebates team at least 20 times, nobody will explain why it was denied. Then I was told to call their customer service at ************ and ask for a supervisor. The first representative said they were transferring me to a supervisor and then hung up on me. So I called back AGAIN, I was put on hold for 15 minutes and never transferred to a supervisor, I was transferred to another agent. That person then transferred me back to the rebates department AGAIN. After an hour, I finally got ahold of a supervisor who would not explain why the rebates were denied. I asked to speak to her boss, but she just put me on a permanent hold and never came back. I wasted an hour and 10 minutes on hold with your company. Is this how you treat your dedicated customers who solely drink ***** light? I have done rebates with your company every year and I know that I submitted the correct information. You can't just deny a rebate and not provide an explanation. There is clearly some sort of error on your end so I want to hear from the head of this department. The only thing I can think of is that my ex-fianc (who now lives in a VRBO), submitted the liquor receipt, but then emailed your company within just a few minutes and asked for the rebates to be cancelled because I was going to submit the rebates, instead of him. So if the issue is a duplicate receipt, that's not accurate because he asked for it to be cancelled and your company never cancelled it. Your rebates department screwed up my rebate 2 years ago as well and I had to spend a ton of time getting it corrected. I look forward to hearing from the leader of the customer service department. The rebate numbers are:1. ********** 2. ********** 3. ********** 4. ********** 5. ********** 6. **********

after sitting on hold for almost 2 hours, I finally spoke to a manager (****). She said my rebate was denied because I used the same receipt six times. The receipt had 12 cases of ***** Light on it. And the rebate allows for SIX rebates in 2024. Nowhere in the rebate terms did it say that it required six separate receipts for each case. Additionally, I do this rebate every year and purchasing the beer on ONE receipt has never been a problem. So it is clearly an error on Anheuser ******* end.

The Company of Michelob Ultra no longer gives out rebates form. The company now wants you to scan the ** to get rebate and when you do scan and try to fill out form online with barcode and receipt will not go through because of the ** code is not accepted. Twice now I have gone to different storesFamily Fare and Meijers with a total of (6) 24 packs and I had lost out on $30.00 rebate. The first time I reported to the company they stated they would send me my rebates of $20.00; they never did and stated I was denied even though the customer service that contacted said they would..(Look in the records, ************ have the emails.). This is a scamthe company is not following through with their advertisementso technically this is considered false advertisement. This company needs to be looked in to!
