I took a photo of my ******* receipt and sent to AnheuserBuschRebates for a 15.00 rebate to be sent to me in4-6 weeks. I had to include my mailing address and name etc. All this was emailed on 2/2/23. Today 04/20/23 I received in email a code to go to a redemption center. When I went there it wanted all other detailed information and a credit card holder agreement to receive the rebate. I did not understand when I applied for the rebate that I would have to apply for a credit card nearly 3 months later to receive the 15.00 for the 50.00 purchase made Feb.3rd. It’s all very scammish and completely unethical. We will definitely not purchase Busch products. Very dishonest.

I am rejecting this response because: I have already gone through Busch’s rebate channels several times and they want me to go through another phone number and do it again. I think that is very poor customer service. They have my information already.

Sincerely,

I went to my local beer store and bought a 12 pack of tall cans of the Busch light. Upon opening the box I noticed that it had a funny smell, with more investigation I came to find that each can has a smell of like laundry dryer sheets and it's effecting the taste of the beer...I had to put the beer into a glass and I'm the kind of person that doesn't like to drink beer out of a glass. I'm not happy with my experience with this beer and this has happened before bur I'm just complaining now. Please reach out to me if there is any questions you may have
Thank you.

I purchased a 2 12 pack set of *** ***** based on their $10 rebate offer. I scanned the *** code, and paid for the purchase. I completed the paperwork for rebate that was submitted online, and included legible copies of the *** code and Receipt. Approximately 3 weeks later I got an email that the *** provided was invalid. What a scam, I did not keep any of that over $10, and their email contact is no good "the remote server is misconfigured" and a text was not answered. the phone number was a time suck, another problem.

On 2/8/23 I submitted three (3) $15 Budweiser on line beer rebates showing the purchase of three (3) Budlight 12packs/12 ounces on 2/7/23. In addition, I submitted three (3) gasoline receipts per the rebate guidelines to be reimbursed $45 via ******. The rebate tracking numbers are **********, **********, and **********. On 2/13/23, I received an email denying my three (3) rebates. I called the beer rebate center that day and the person could not explain why my rebates were denied. They told me to call back in seven (7) days and they would send my rebates for further review. I called back on 2/21/23 and the person still couldn’t explain why my rebates had been denied. I was on hold for over 30 minutes, I asked to speak to a manager (badge #****) and he couldn’t explain why my rebates were denied. The manager took my name and phone number and promised to follow-up with me within 72 hours and that never happened!! I am just asking to be awarded my $45 beer rebate….

Complaint: ********

I am rejecting this response because:they sent me the following email on 3/6/23 stating that my three (3) $15 rebates did not pass their audit process, why can they not be specific? I submitted a receipt showing I purchased three (3) 12 packs of Budlight along with three (3) receipts showing that I purchased fuel.

Thank you for reaching out regarding the status of your rebates. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but after speaking to our rebate team, it looks like these rebates were denied because they did not pass our audit process. Unfortunately, we are unable to validate your rebates. Please let me know if I can look into anything else for you!

Cheers,

Like all the other complaints. I follow their rebate policies however lately they have been rejecting my rebates for 1 or 2 reasons. Unfortunately in the tracking number detail, it doesn't tell you what Rebate or AB number you duplicated or what product was needed to fulfill the rejected rebates. I think this is important to have!

As far as i can see I am only out $20 4 rebates most likely quantity (2) each for 2 different rebates or AB numbers.

Maybe they are short handed? Idont know

I would like a refund and for them to consider putting more detail into the tracking number especially the AB number.

My rebates are tracked on how many i have completed on another site. I shouldnt have this happening!

Purchased 24 pack beer AB-8209 and buns or meat. I purchased buns. Received an email that this is not valid! I purchased a 24 pack and buns within the dates! Rebate says: Description: Get $10 back when you purchase ONE (1) Budweiser or Bud Light 18-pk or larger and ONE (1) package of meat or buns. This is really getting old with this company. I have to do twice as much work to get a piddly rebate! I went to a different beer because of this a few months ago! This has to stop!!!!!!! they are looking for any reason not to pay a rebate!!!! This has 5 more rebates for this particular rebate. I guess i will have to go through this 5 more times??????

Reward Program: The last 2 rebates they've had, I've sent in 6 UPC's and receipts in each for 6 cases of beer. I should've received $30 gift cards and both times I've received $5.00. Currently I'm waiting on another $30 gift card which I figure will be $5.00 again. False advertising. Your employees should know the difference between 1 & 6 UPC's and $5 vs $30 on a gift card. Big difference and I'm very upset I do my end and gather all the necessary documents and you scam me out of what you owe me. Fix your program and quit ripping people off. I could not find a phone number to call or I would've. Bad customer service especially for loyal buyers. Very disappointing.
