I end up getting the checks or cards in the mail before the tracking even says they're approved. I figure it didn't cost me anything to submit them so I hope for the best. I submitted a couple for $2 on gourmet cheese. I bought Cracker Barrel right out of the dairy case in Kroger and another type of Cheddar at Food Lion. Got my $4. All you can do is wait.
Yesterday I submitted a $1 one for chips.
Wish I had found this site years ago!
