    ...the right way!

After filling out the tiny rebate form which is literately the size of the palm of my hand, I discovered (using my readers because the print was so tiny) that Prestone requires the imprinted foil seal from the bottle. Of course I tore the seal off to use the product. The receipt and UPC number is not enough. 

Prestone is misleading and unethical.

#2 Consumer Suggestion

Solution according to Prestone Rebate Support

AUTHOR: lenzrg - Brentwood (United States of America)

I have exactly the same problem - destroyed the foil before reading the rebate form.  I felt the same way about Prestone, but decided to call customer support to give them a chance.  I was transferred to Rebate Customer Support and was told the if I mailed in the ORIGINAL sales receipt, not a copy, that would be sufficient and the rebate would be processed (I guess they're using the foil to prevent duplicate claims and the original receipt does the same thing).  I made note of this advice on the form where it asks for the foil and mailed it in.  Here's hoping this is honored!!

Absolutely correct, same thing happened to me!

AUTHOR: Southern Chemical and Equipment LLC - Sarasota (USA)

This is a total scam, and I have filed a detailed report here today.



We need to get the word out on this in a big way.



Boycott all Prestone Products which include FRAM, and Honeywell.
