Via Staples.com, Get QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll 2013 free after mail-in rebate. The point is not that you necessarily want this software, but that it is a reasonably good way to increase credit card spend, especially if you use a card that gets 5 points per dollar at office supply stores. Even better, this can be a great way to cash out Staples Rewards.
Keep in mind that this isn’t really free even after the rebate because you will have to pay sales tax in most states. You can get some of that sales tax refunded by starting your purchase in a cash back portal. Both uPromise and ShopDiscover currently offer 5% cash back at Staples. You can also try to sell the software on eBay to potentially make a profit. Normally you can resell software to potentially make a profit, but in this case the software has to be activated before you can get the rebate.

You have to activate this software to get the rebate, I think you have to have a previous version of quick books to get the enhanced Payroll version.

This looks good though, and it will be interesting to see if they actually using this. I know about this topic by this post. This is very nice post! I will bookmark this blog. I want to talk you about Predictive dialer. Two really outstanding 100 % free anti-virus installing are Avast and Avira (to get the obtain links see my web page address at the end of this article). They both have outstanding opinions, and offer first-rate protection. Many individuals feel they have overtaken AVG Free Anti-virus, which used to be top of the charts.

Any tips for some soul who pounced on this and is now looking down the barrel of this hassle to try to get a refund?
Ouch. I know of one person who begged and pleaded and eventually got a refund. Also, the credit card you used might have purchase protection where they’ll let you do a return even if the store won’t.
Look before you leap, FM.
So, you need to activate to get the rebate?
Yes, plus you have to have owned other related products in order to activate.
Is the rebate in the form of a check or a store credit? If it’s a store credit, than you are essentially paying half price for the product.
It is a check
I tried this the last time Staples ran the FAR offer and ran into problems. Not only do you have to activate the software, but it took 2 hours of “Intuit customer support” to determine that I couldn’t activate this software because I didn’t have another Quicken product installed on my computer. Read the fine print on the box before buying this! Staples doesn’t mention the need for another Quicken product anywhere in the promo offer or their advertising. Since I had already opened the software packaging, I couldn’t return the product to Staples, but I was able to send it back to Intuit for a refund of my purchase price. But I lost the $10 it cost to send the product back to Intuit (via insured and trackable mail), and Intuit wouldn’t refund the cost of shipping or of the sales tax. Buyer beware!

Thanks. I’ll update post
Doesn’t this rebate require you to activate the software?
I guess it does. Does that make it impossible to resell?
Ya, you can’t resell once its activated. Also, you can’t even activate this version unless you have some prior version of Quickbooks. I think this is kind of like an add-on software. I tried doing this rebate once before and it was a hassle. I ended up getting a rebate in the form of a check (including taxes) so I still got the CC spend.
Meant to say I ended up getting a refund in the form of a check*
Thanks. Post has been updated.
