Same story in years past. The rebate ends up being such a hassle in the end I don't bother with it.

As for Pisces, this must be the first year they made you buy other stuff as I've stocked up there in the past without that happening.

I'm really choked because I specifically asked for individual receipts, and the girl told me there was no need because "it's all online now." Oh, great. Go to the website, find out, oh dear, one per person one per address, etc. - and individual receipt. Call back and ask for reprints for the other buckets and was told that's not possible because it can only be done on the same day.

There's no way this is by accident.

On principle I'm mailing in for my one rebate but I did buy 5 buckets and now sort of think it wasn't necessary because although still cheaper than normal without the rebate (what is the regular price anyhow? I'm not sure), but maybe not so much that it was worth going out of my way that day to get to the store.

If I do it next year, I'm tempted to stand in line for each bucket I buy and buy them singly. Ooopsy, I forgot I wanted another. Ooopsy, I forgot I wanted yet another. Silly me! Oh and can someone carry the bucket for me? My back hurts.

i agree, I was told it would be $25 each as well, but there was no mention of the rebate until I go to the store and read the fine print. In fairness, did IO change their rebate policy this year or was it always one per address?... even getting individual receipts wouldn't have helped you Delphinus in that case...

Not a happy guy either because I was told at the till that the rebate would be valid for all 4 buckets I bought.

I'm in the same boat. I think we should all call in, or go into the store to complain. If enough of us complain maybe they will do something about it ?

I didn't know IO had a salt rebate. Well, lucky I didn't throw my receipt away. I'm going to fill out the form. I found the Facebook variant of the rebate:

I was lucky enough to check into it before hand, we bought 8 on 4 receipts and have a couple addresses we can use. Its only $5 per bucket though...
