MAIL IN REBATE?

If you send in the UPC code from the box and the receipt from the seller they'll probably send you a letter telling you "no way", if they do call them (they'll give you a toll free number) and tell them your sad story, if they still say no, ask for the supervisor...politely...always quietly.
The original UPC is mainly what they want. I hope.

do you think there i a way to contact the microsoft staff? or jus=t anyone who would know for a fact/

If you bought it by now, mail it and wait to hear from them. Either a check or a letter. You want to call them first?

ok thanks radar man, ill call tommoro and if a no then that sux becuz if the rebate works i end up paying 3 dollars canadian in total!

I can't see why you want to call first, let them come to you don't go to them, they'll just say nope! It's easier for them to turn you down before the fact.
If you bought it already.
Your call...I wouldn't do it.

thanks radarman for your help, i called the microsoft rebate line anyway, and i can get the rebate, i just have to state the seller and website, and the date i purchased it!

👏 Good for you, I wouldn't have done that. I would have waited and fought with them later.
Enjoy it you have a great Sim! 👍
