It is very simple to use rebates to “Coupon to Disney“. Just pay for the items needed for the rebate out of your weekly budget. When the check arrives, deposit it into your fund.
Tips on how to use rebates:
- Save every single receipt. I got a coupon/check organizer in the dollar spot at Target and use it to organize my receipts. You never know when you might need a receipt for a rebate.
- If you purchase an item for a rebate, take the UPC off of it before you put it up in your cabinet. If you can’t remove the UPC without ruining the package, write on it with a permanent marker so you don’t accidentally toss the UPC when you go to use the product.
- Most rebates require the original receipt. If you are purchasing 2 items that will be submitted for separate rebates, make sure you purchase them in separate transactions so you will have a receipt for both items! (Some stores will print a duplicate receipt for rebates. Ask your store and see if they do it.)
- If you forget to pay for the item separately, you could take it with your receipt back to the store and explain to them what you did. They might let you return and rebuy the product so that you will have the separate receipt. It never hurts to ask.
Where to find rebates:
- Check my rebate category
I add a lot to my fund with No Beer Purchase Required rebates. Read all about them and see if they are valid in your state!

This is a great way to add to your fund and I started about 6 myths ago and just save them as they come in the mail. I’ve got almost $100 so far and more coming! Thanks for all your hard work & ideas!

Melissa,
It’s really hard to find them in the stores. I’m in a no purchase required state; hope you’re lucky to be too. I buy most of mine on ebay. Good luck!

This is completely off-topic. I just realized that I have a coupon code for 20% off diapers at Amazon.com. Do you know of anyone who needs this code?

Rebates are my favorite way to Coupon to Disney! Especially Beer rebates which don’t require the beer purchase in my state. Love free money! I also save every receipt. You never know when you’ll run into a rebate for something you have already purchased! Thanks, Kristin, for all you do!
