I purchased the downloadable version of the product. I wasn't able to read the details of what qualifies for rebate, since the rebate form doesn't come down until you buy.

Question 1. Is Easy CD Creator 4 or 5, full version, qualified for rebate? It isn't listed, though Easy CD & DVD Creator is.

To get a rebate for the download version of EMC8, it says the proof of qualified product must be a confirmation receipt with the CDKey from downloadable product purchase. I don't have that, since I bought the box.

Question 2: Are other proofs of purchase (such as those listed for the box version of EMC8) acceptable for the download version as well? In particular, is a printed copy of the distribution CD suitable?

I found out about the upgrade via an email from Roxio, where I have registered all products I have. It seems to me that since they know what versions I own, their email should be sent only if it applies to me. It does say that this deal is for registered users, which I am.

If I don't get the rebate I think I should, I am fully prepared to get very angry and make insulting comments about Roxio on this board, the way that others have, if that will help.

Great threat. LOLLOL! About 98% of the folks in these forums are users, just like you. I love it when folks put the cart before the horse.

Is that rebate really good thru 12/1/09?

Thanks "pcostanza" for pointing it out. But yes it is true the rebate is valid thru 12/1/09 for the period of sale. Roxio currently is undergoing some overhaul of site and links. This will be addressed soon.

I bought Easy Media Creator 8 Deluxe Suite and the rebate form didn't mention any other proof of ownership of a previous version of EMC except UPC or image of the CD. Since I downloaded my copy(s) of EMC 7.5, I had no proof except for the proof of purchase e-mail I received when I bought and downloaded EMC 7.5. I included a copy of that with my rebate request as my proof of ownership and hoped for the best.

Today, I've just received notification that my rebate is invalid since I don't have the EMC 7.5 proof. Does this mean that I'm just screwed? I've submitted a Roxio web ticket but I'm skeptical about whether I'll ever get any resolution.

I'm really sick of rebates in general. I'm thinking of starting a rebate boycott movement. Why not just cut the price? I understand there's concern that retailers might just pocket the savings.

Here's a followup: I contacted Roxio/Sonic via live chat support. I was given the rebate phone number and told to contact them directly. When I called, the guy asked for name and zip code and apparently checked my information with Roxio. He reiterated the reason my submission was invalid and then told me that because I was a valued customer that they'd send me my check. So I guess I'm getting my rebate anyway.

I still think the rebate form should explicitly accomodate download customers.

Glad to see you got your rebate, Bob. I agree with you about the rebate form.
