Its a Miracle!

Guess what arrived in today's mail? A check from Neutrogena for $34.99! After getting a check for $4 and change at my parents' address, I wasn't holding out much hope for any of the other Neutrogena rebates I'd submitted. I think so many people called them complaining that they put a hold on all outgoing rebates and reevaluated them. I still have to wait 8-10 weeks to get a check for the difference on that rebate, but I am very happy that this one came without problems. Its been nothing but problems with J&J - da boyfriend got a rejection letter for the spend $25, get $10 rebate on Aveeno items, so I have to call about that. I don't think I'll ever do another J&J rebate again!
