Apple Printer & Office Rebate Promotion

[jaw04005]

My grandparents purchased me a Mac mini, HP printer and Office 2004 for Christmas. I'm just now getting around to filling out the forms for the rebates—so that they will get $150.00 back.

I noticed on both forms that Apple requires the original UPC code. How am I supposed to send two original UPC codes? I would rather send copies, simply because I don't want to chop up my precious Mac mini box. :(

What should I do? I have no problem sending original UPC codes for the HP printer and Office 2004. Will Apple make an exception since I'm trying to qualify for two rebates?

First off that's a looong promotion. Second off, re: your mac mini box: no. They need to see the real serial number off the box. Just cut it carefully but before I cut or mailed anything, I'd check your rebate dates.
