Help, I lost my receipt! Now how do I get my rebate?

Not to worry. We've come a long way from the days of handwritten receipts and carbon copies! Most stores can reprint you a receipt, especially if you paid with a credit card and know the exact date of your purchase.

I purchased the TiVo box that I am submitting a rebate for online, and did not receive a receipt. Can I still receive a rebate?

Qualifying purchases made online should have been accompanied by a packing slip. For these purchases, the packing slip may be used as the receipt as long as the purchase price is listed. If your purchase did not include a packing slip or receipt, contact the online store from where your purchase was made to obtain a copy. Only purchases from participating, authorized TiVo retailers are eligible for this rebate.

What is the UPC code that I have to mail in?

Look for the bar code, with UPC printed on it, on a label affixed to the outside of the packaging. Cut out that entire label and send it in with your other rebate materials. You can also send a clear photocopy of that label.

Do I need to subscribe to the TiVo service to be eligible?

Yes, new TiVo service activation is required for eligibility. Service must be activated by 5/5/2008, remain active for a minimum of 30 days, and be active at the time of rebate processing. To activate TiVo service, visit our website at www.tivo.com/activate or call TiVo Customer Support at 877-367-8486.

TiVo service activation will require a minimum one-year commitment. Service must remain active for a minimum of 12 continuous months. Cancellation prior to at least 12 months will incur an early termination fee. See www.tivo.com/policies for details.

What do I do if I exchanged my TiVo DVR after I mailed my rebate submission?

If you have exchanged your TiVo DVR after sending in the rebate submission, please call the TiVo Rebate Center at 888-641-4128 and inform them of the new TSN (TiVo service number). This is a 15-digit number on the back of the DVR. If the Rebate Center is not informed of the exchange, the rebate will not be approved.

Where can I obtain the rebate form?

You can find a printable copy of the rebate form on our website at www.tivo.com/rebate.

Where do I mail the rebate form?

If I complete the online submission, why do I still have to mail in the form and required information?

You still must mail in the rebate form and all supporting documentation to validate your claim to ensure that the correct product was purchased during the promotional period.

Where can I purchase the TiVo DVR and be eligible for the rebate?

You may purchase TiVo from any participating, authorized TiVo retailer and still be eligible for the rebate. You must purchase an eligible TiVo DVR and have a receipt of the purchase. An order confirmation page from an online store, an e-mail order confirmation, or a packing slip are acceptable if they contain the following information:

I bought a TiVo DVR through another promotion. Am I still eligible for the rebate?

Any purchase of a TiVo DVR through a promotion outside of this rebate is subject to the Terms and Conditions of that promotion. It may be possible that the TiVo DVR purchased through the promotion will be ineligible for the rebate.

Are TiVo Packages eligible for the rebate?

No, TiVo Packages are not eligible for rebates. All TiVo offers that bundle the hardware and service together, including TiVo Packages, are not eligible for rebates.

I bought more than one TiVo box that is included in the rebate. Can I submit for more than one rebate?
