I participated in a sustainability rebate program and it was approved on June 5 2022. The same day I clicked the email that they sent and clicked the link to claim the reward. The email says "You must visit this page to claim your reward by 7/28/2022". The website then said (and still currently says) redeemed showing a green check but it also says "We're sorry, but you didn't claim your reward in time. It has expired.". However when I go to the reward history page it shows this promotion with a green check next to it stating that I earned a $10 pre-paid **********.
The website states they would either email or mail me the rebate card but they did not do either. The terms and conditions also do not state anything about any time limits other than clicking that link before July 28.
At this point I am still waiting for them to email or mail me the $10 **********. It seems as though they closed my claim without fully processing it.

I was approved in November for the Olay holiday rebate gift card of $25, but never received it. I’ve asked several times when I’ll be receiving an update or if the card was sent, but customer service tells me they’ll write me back and then I hear nothing . I’m very disappointed and frustrated that no one will answer my questionBusiness Response

Thank you for reaching out to the Better Business Bureau regarding the Olay Digital Rebate offer and we're sorry for your disappointment. To be sure there is no confusion, the reward was a digital gift card, not a physical card. To confirm, are you saying you didn't receive the email to claim the digital reward?
We look forward to hearing back from you.

I participated in the Olay holiday promotion(2022): spend $25+ get $25 Digital Gift Card. I'm really having difficulties receiving the redemption certificate for HomeGoods Gift Card for $25 that was approved. I purchased the required products per guidelines and submitted for over $25.00. There had some bugs in their website with uploading the receipt process. After I contacted their support several times about this, my receipt was approved for $29.99 which is more than qualifying amount of $25. After several emails sent and contacted them thru phone calls, they still did not send redemption certificate for the $25 Gift Card yet. Then I finally got an email with an image(one household only allows one submission) attached. I replied back the email and said no one in my apartment applied to this promotion. Then no responding to any emails that I sent so far. I am a college student and live in campus, when I was visiting my relatives in Christmas and I bought this Olay moister cream, and I have sent it as a gift to my friend. I’d like your help me on this, since I spent so much time to call them and sent emails, it is over 1 month after the receipt has approved. Thank you very much!Business Response

Hi,
As a last resort, I decided to reach out to the business on this platform hoping for a resolution.
I participated in the spend $25 on select Olay products to receive a $25 gift card. I successfully made a qualifying purchase over $25 and was able to register on their website. However, on Jan 31, when I tried to log into my account to upload the receipt, it gave an error. I selected the option forgot password and it said a link has been sent to my email to reset my password. I tried this option almost 15 times but still no link was received in any of my folders in email. Thus, I was not able to upload my receipt because it did not let me login. I immediately sent Olay a message explaining my concern using the support button. No response was received.
On feb 1, I called them on their no. ###-###-####. But nobody was reachable on that no. and it gave a recorded message saying the promotion has ended. I then contacted the p&g customer service who then asked me to contact the olay customer service.
After calling olay, the agent created a case id ******** and said I would hear back from their team within 48 hrs. However, again no response was received. I again contacted them for follow up but the agent this time said that they can’t help me with the rebate on this no. and I should again call on the original no. ###-###-####.
I called on the above no. which was working this time on feb 6 or Feb 7. The agent said I would hear back from their team by feb 10. Again, no response received.
I again called on their no on Feb 14 and spoke to an agent who said they will again forward my concern to the relevant team.
After 14 days of constantly going back and forth and spending indefinite hours and effort over the phone, the issue still remains unresolved.
It’s very sad that I had to reach to a reputed business on this platform for a resolution and that none of the customer service agents were able to resolve my concern.Business Response

Thank you for reaching out to the Better Business Bureau regarding the Olay Rebate. We're sorry to hear of your disappointing experience and have relayed this to our Promotions Team. They did advise the offer is now over, therefore we're sending a prepaid debit card in place of the promotion link. In addition, as a gesture of goodwill, we are including a $10 off coupon for a purchase of Olay. They will arrive in separate mailings in the next 7-10 business days.
Kind regards.

I have been using the P&G rewards everyday program for years. In August of 2022 I received a message that I had reached my quota (which is 2) for the month even though I hadn’t redeemed any. I got the same message the following month. The website continued to let me scan additional receipts. When I contacted help through the website I was told they were out of gift cards In December I entered a chat dialog through the website again and was told I had violated some rule of commercial use but wouldn’t tell me what I had done. My account has now been locked for 7 months. It seems to me this website locks accounts when they feel that a person purchases more than what they deem normal. I have 6 people in my household and also donate things to food shelves so I am being targeted. I would like my account unlocked.Business Response

My UNOPENED *** Oral-B toothbrush was returned (and received on 21 December 2021 - in accordance with Oral-B's return policies (I had my IO9 repaired instead of a new toothbrush).
The Oral team wrote me:
"Hi *****,
Thank you for following up with us. While the brush has been received as of the 21st of December, it still has to be sorted, and the claim has to be entered, and then the refund sent. In my previous email, I had mentioned it can take up to 6-8 weeks for the refund to be delivered in the mail via prepaid card.

I tried to participate in the Olay promotion: spend $25+ get $25 Digital Gift Card. In December, when I made my purchase, I could not get the registration page to let me submit. I tried different email addresses, different passwords, different accounts, even different computers. It would not let me submit and I would get a red error message that the page encountered a problem. I contacted the given email for customer service. They sent me later an unhelpful screenshot telling me that it was probably a password issue. I contacted them again over a month ago and never heard back. I then also contacted Proctor and Gamble customer service about three weeks ago, and I was eventually told that it was escalated to another department. I have heard nothing back. I've been contacting P&G for six weeks+ now, with basically NO help whatsoever. It's obscene.Business Response

COSTCO promoted P&G products between 8/29 -9/25/2022, announcing “Spend $100 on the P&G products and get a $25 Costco Shop Card”.
I bought P&G products for more than $100 on 1 September 2022 and submitted COSTCO receipts on 5 September 2022. Then waited for the $25 Costco Shop Card until December 2022. I contacted my local Costco customer service in December and I was told to wait saying that because of the holiday season, it may be delayed. They gave a P&G number ********* **** to call and it was all recorded messages and I could not get any answer for it. Then I got ***** *** **** and when I contacted the Rebate Center, in the first week of January 2023 I was told that since I did not spent $100 on P&G products, I was not eligible to get the $25 card.
Then, the next day, I checked my receipt and I found out that I spent $119.53. When I called the Rebate Center, informed them that I spent more than $100 and to verify my receipt. They told me that I should have informed them this before the dead line (31Dec 22) and I missed the dead line.
It appears that P&G did not correctly add or verify the amounts. So, it is their mistake and they should send a $25 Costco Shop card. Please contact them and verify it and take proper action.Business Response
