DS9 DVD rebate

Hi -

I bought seasons 6 and 7 of DS9 (used) and I was wondering how I get
the $25 rebate. I didn't see any rebate form inside the boxes. Do I
just mail the proof of purchase tabs and the receipt, and if so, to
where?

Thanks!
Edwin

My question is where's the proof of purchase tabs? I can't find them
anywhere!

They are on the bottom inside flap of the back of the slipcase.
If you open up the back you can get right at the proof of purchase
tabs

I already mailed mine, so I don't have one to look up, but
IIRC, the form was a little fold-up thing that was attached
to the outside of the shrink rap like a "packing list".

And I believe that they require the actual rebate form. Not
sure why, as the POP tabs and the receipt should be enough
proof that you bought the things.

Also note that they aren't the typical cardboard or paper
tabs, but of the same clear plastic that the slipcases
are made of. That's what initially fooled me when I first
looked for them.

Probably so that someone who buys a used set can't try to claim a rebate on
a set that's already been sold and rebated once.

My bet is, you do it by not buying used. I have no problem with buying
used, but I don't expect any company to give the rebate to both myself
and the original customer.

Adios,

With the exception of the Warner/New Line snapper case
releases, which have a line of POP tabs up the spine,
every DVD I've ever seen -- including the DS9s -- has
only one POP tab. So a used copy cannot be rebated a
second time, because the POP tab will already be missing.

And the receipt (with the price circled, as they always ask)
should indicate the likelihood that you bought it new.

Thing is, the used sets that I bought still have their POP tabs
intact. So, the previous owner/s would not have taken advantage of
the rebate. Question: is there anyone who has a "spare" sticker? I
think both seasons 6 and 7 had this sticker on it so if you haven't
used one, would anyone be okay to part with it? Thanks....

I must be blind as I don't see a POP tab anywhere.
