Hello!

I bought a MacBook Pro on the 26th of February, and iWork along with it. So today when I was filling out the rebate form for iWork, I noticed that it asks for the UPC codes on the computer and the iWork, along with the receipt.

Well, that had me worried. If I sent in my receipt, and both of the UPC codes... I would have no way of proving that I bought this product, if any problems ever occur! Is this how it is supposed to be or am I missing something here?

Thanks!

Copy your receipt, send it, and keep the original. 🙂
 
What about the UPC codes, would I need them if I wanted to bring the computer into an Apple Store or something?

They just need the serial number on the back of your laptop

You can find the serial number on the back or in the system profile

I cut out both of the UPC codes on my MBP and iWork boxes. The Apple paperwork I got said you had to send in the UPC codes and original receipt. What I did was make a copy of my original receipt and sent that in. I got my rebate check without a problem. As long as you have a copy of your receipt you should not have a problem.
