Okay, I know that there are many of you out there who have done it...

What is the best strategy to buy multiple items that have rebates on them and still get the rebates?

If I buy in the store, it's easy (since there is no name on the receipt)... simply send each rebate form with a different mailing address.

But what about buying online? Most receipts show both the billing and shipping address of the items. Does it matter what the billing/shipping addresses are?

Could I, for example....

1) Buy 3 Hard Drives (separate orders, of course) and ship them all to me.

2) Send in each rebate form, but one with my address, one with my dad's, and one with my work address?

What are your strategies for doing such a thing?

Some rebates already allow multiple rebates on one form to one address (in fact, most of the Dell orders with rebates allow up to 5 rebates per form).

In your above scenario regarding online - if you already have different mailing addresses (as you suggested for in-store buying), then just order on-line and have it shipped to those different mailing addresses.
