{Update: They Now Are Honoring!} Brita Not Honoring $10 Rebate

Update: The power of social media in action! Brita has announced on its Facebook wall that it IS now honoring the rebate. Here’s that announcement:

Great news! We are going to honor all mail-in rebates that were recently available. Thanks you for your patience during this situation and sticking with Brita. Enjoy your rebate!

Uh oh. I smell a social media ****storm coming!

On this week’s Walmart deals, you may have noticed that there was a money-maker on the Brita filter. That money-maker was due to a $10 mail-in rebate from Brita. A rebate, which, according to Brita’s own paperwork, was supposed to be good until the end of March.

Well, it seems that Brita has “run out of supplies” (of $10 bills??) and won’t be honoring any more rebates.

See their Facebook page for more information, but here was one response to a question on their wall:

Unfortunately the rebate supplies have already been exhausted and we are unable to honor any additional rebates. I’m sorry for the inconvenience! If you would like to make a formal complaint, please visit our website at http://www.brita.com/contact/

If you already submitted your rebate, and are worried you won’t receive your rebate, my friend Sara from Saving For Someday has advice on how to file a complaint with the FTC.

  1. Apparently Brita got the message – their fb wall now states that they WILL honor the rebate.

    Does that mean they’ll honor the rebate for those who already sent it in, or can we still send it in? I got a raincheck at CVS for the Brita pitcher, but I don’t want to bother if I can no longer send in the rebate.

    Thanks!

    • What I’m hearing is that if you printed it off their site, then yes – otherwise, no. Not helpful, huh? I’d shoot them an email to confirm before troubling. Sorry 🙁

  3. I bought the Brita but was going to print the rebate today and cannot find it anywhere. Does anyone have one they can email me or know a site to find it on?? Much appreciated!

  4. You’re awesome, thanks! So glad I found this site!
