On Thursday 8/8/24 I did submit a rebate for offer AB-8147 ($2 WATER OR ICE REBATE COMPLIMENTS OF ULTRA for a case of water price of over $2.00. I did get tracking number ********** for the rebate. I thought it was odd I didn't get an email for the rebate submission when in the past I usual get an email conformation of submitting the rebate within an hour or so.So On Friday 8/9/24 I used the chat to check on this issue. The live agent **** noticed that I did put my email address in wrong (Just Switched a letter in error when I entered my details)I put in by mistake ************************ when it should be ************************ I asked the agent if they could update the email address they told me NO and I would have to wait 72 hours to contact them so they could update my email address. I told them my concern was in the past I have submitted rebates and have gotten them issued to me before 72 hours. i don't think they understand the severity and timeliness of my issue For example if you look at tracking number ********** for offer AB-8396 I submitted it on Sunday night 8/4/24 and had the card by Tuesday 8/6/24 which is under 72 hrs. I told them my fear is what if it was sent to the incorrect email address before the ************************************** not. They wouldn't help or answer me just said contact them in 72 hours and got rude with me. When I checked with the Chat team 72 hrs later I was told the Card was sent on 8/10/24 to wrong email and I never it got, Like I told **** what would happen so now I;m out of the $2 for the rebate. can you please send me a check in the mail for the $2.00 since they won't help me can you please help update this so I get my money. I feel this insane to have to make me jump through all of these hopes to get $2.00 back when I'm a loyal customer and just because the agent didn't want to help me get the correct email address updated.Please if you can help assist.

I purchased a CASE of ****** in order to get a $10 rebate. The rebate said an 18-pack or larger. The majority of places do not sell a ****** 24pack, so a case is a 2/12pk case.My receipt CLEARLY says 1 - ****** 2/12 NR. The rebate company clearly does not understand packaging.I wouldn't have purchased a case if it were not for the rebate. I am not happy.

07/19/2024 - I purchased a case of ***** from Walgreen's store # ***** for a price of $17.19 . I then drove home and two of the cans of beer were empty. I did not address it with the store as I am not going back out tonight. I really just want the two cans sent to me by the responsible party. I understand this is not necessarily a corporate issue, however, it does involve either them or a 3rd party along the distribution chain along with their brand. So this may just be more to provide awareness and get my two beers. Had this been the first time this had happened, I would not even bother with the time, but this has happened several times.
