good catch, but the receipt says nothing about any rebate from Staples.
However, there is one that says "Some retailers may require use of their own in-store coupon to claim this rebate; please check your receipt or ask the retailer at time of purchase."
A rebate from Staples, and a rebate from Epson are only mutually exclusive if they say so. Nothing I read on either the Epson rebate form or the Staples one specifically states they are mutually exclusive. When it says "SOME" and "MAY" and they don't go any further, that is a pretty weak argument on their part. Staples never said that there is an Epson rebate, but this takes the place of it, and you don't qualify for theirs. And Epson claiming that I don't qualify on one page, and not saying that same info on the rebate form, and being very ambiguous about the wording is what started this whole thing
If it said plainly on the Epson form "This offer not valid on purchases made at Costco, Staples and OfficeMax" there would be absolutely no confusion whatsoever. But it doesn't, so there is.
hey, it IS $100 here.
