Misleading Rebate offer- beware: I have never owned a version of this software, so to me it's $79.99, not a bad deal but still, don't you think that's misleading?

T.Dooley: If your are referring to the current $20 "upgraders" rebate (http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/00/00/02/40/10/05/240100530._V264287305_.pdf), then you don't need to own a previous version of the software to qualify. The rebate lists a total of thirteen qualifying products (eight of which are not even Adobe apps). In the list, you will notice Google Picasa (http://picasa.google.com/) which is a FREE application. And, as proof of ownership, they merely request "a printed screenshot of the About screen located in the Help menu of the product." The rebate doesn't expire 'til October 2009. So, if you still have your sales receipt and your software box (or at least TAB#1), then go ahead and claim your $20 (or send the paperwork to me...I could always use some gas money).

noNo it was not included and it took many hours to try and get it from the company. When they responded the Rip and Burn was not included rendering it useless. I still have not been able to make it work and am completely disgusted with their customer support. They will be glad to sell their new system for several hundred dollars with no workable solutions for what you purchased. If they would just have included the original code things might have been OK. I bought two of these and neither had the code included. Unfortunately I needed to rip and burn songs for my Mother's 90th birthday party and these heartless bastards blew it with their incessant finger pointing. Hope they choke on their ill gotten gains. noNo it was not included and it took many hours to try and get it from the company.

Update! Rebate form was in the box. You may have missed it, it was in with all the other advertisements. When I called Amazon I had to click on the product then the more info button, then a price comes up showing the rebate price of $20.00 with a form button next to it, I clicked that and it gave me the form to print HOWEVER you can not send this form in it has to be the original from the box. That's when I went back through everything that was in the box and found the form.

I got them together and dont remember having had to make an extra payment for the software, so i guess the short answer is no but in the other hand is not bad news because it comes included, meaning there is no extra charge. best.

I did. The rebate was an important part of my decision Sunday. In fact I just got on the computer now to find out details about the rebate because the purchase process did not indicate anything about it. The only description I saw was the mention of a $200 mail in rebate. What that indicated to me that there was a rebate of money, not credit for another product. Where can I track this issue?

Are you wanting to know something about this software? I have not used this software as it is too much for what I need. I would be willing to sell it

I am not sure why they mislead you that way. It still did not deter me from my purchase. I had been pricing individual pieces. I even searched online ads, etc... . At one point I almost purchased a used system from a company that had closed. I am very glad I didn't. The equipment I got from Quickbooks was top rate. It had no flaws in construction and, most importantly, it was new. I didn't have to worry that it would malfunction. The software that it came with would work for me in a pinch. I could do basic things with the software and it would work. Ultimately, the flaw, for me, was the amount of information I wished to collect and store. It just wasn't able to keep up with my needs. I chose to purchase another software package that was more in tune with what I was looking for. The real benefit to me was that the equipment from QuickBooks continued to function perfectly with the package I purchased. So ... Misleading. I felt it was. Unusable. Not at all. It was high quality and it still works fine today. I hope this information can be of help to you.

There wasn't any rebate when I bought it but it was already on sale for less than $20. You can email customer service and the respond they are good about it.

I can't answer for the other sellers, but seeing as how my price is the lowest on the list, I will say it's because the version we are selling of this software is Student/Teacher. Which just means that you need to be a student or teacher to activate it, but it's exactly the same as the others, just offered at a lower price for education. 100% genuine and brand new.

Hooch: For the price I paid, I did not expect it to have any software and it did not but I was given the gift by Microsoft of a free upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. I personally do not like any one to load up my computer with what they believe I need as far as software is concerned, it means that I eventually need to delete it.

When I purchased it, Amazon sent a receipt and it included the product key. As for a trial version, I am not sure there's even a product key - only for purchases

I am curious about the rebate as well I would like to buy this but not without the rebate.

Yes, I tried several times to download the rebate...I entered all the detail requested. I am still unable to download the rebate for the 150 dollars. How long did it take before you received your rebate?

I also purchased when i saw the $200 Rebate, and Just found out about 30 seconds ago it was a gift card. I am not pleased, and have also emailed Amazon to find a resolution to our problem.

All I know is to not trust Amazon when they say they offer a rebate. I was cheated out of mine.
