Colgate Will pay for dental check up (until Feb 2011)

Rowley Birkin QC

So this is still running?

I purchase the 3 products, go to my dentist, get a scale and polish, send in the receipt and bobs my father's brother?

No, purchases had to be made in Sept, sorry!
This thread is still running to see how people are getting on getting the money back, as some seemed to be having trouble

Sent off two (separate) applications in October, one each for myself and the missus. I did notice that there was a <conspiracytheory>deliberate</conspiracytheory> misprint on the address - Fairview is most certainly not in Dublin 13, so I sent it to D3. Will post again when get our cheques.

After purchasing the required items and forwarding the receipts with the account paid letter from my Dentist and the form in October. I received a letter this morning from Colgate saying an item was on promotion when purchased so my claim was rejected.
Colin Morrison at Colgate says page two of the form states this fact. However as I never received this information from either my Dentist or Tescos from whom I purchased the products I feel I am being ripped off by the Company having waited three months for nothing!!

It was in the terms and conditions as I dealt with customers looking for non-promo items. At the time nearly every toothpaste was on promo except the colgate minty fresh basic stuff. It was also on the back of the A5 leaflet available from dentists and from Dunnes.

Got my application rejected.
Reason was that when I bought my colgate products from Tesco in nutgrove the receipt does not state that they are colgate products.
Really unhappy as this is not my fault. How am I supposed to know until AFTER I have bought the products that my receipt would not be sufficent.

So, my boycott of Colgate products is starting with immediate effect.

Phone up the helpline (buried somewhere in this thread) and tell them this is the way Tesco put products on their receipt and that it is not your fault. They should be familiar with this situation.

Colgate knew about this, customers had been told in Oct it would be OK and if it really wasn't clear to attach a note detailing what you bought and the price paid.

I have just called them and in fairness- Deirdre, who I spoke to, was very helpful. She advised to email her in the details and they would reassess.
So fingers crossed!

Got mine yesterday :-) Thanks to the OP and also those who highlighted the "not to be used with any other offer clause" as i'd bought all the stuff in boots on offer, so had to bring it back for a cash refund and buy the stuff again in lidl! Worth it though. Took a while but can't complain :-) probably best bargain alert yet!

EDIT: Think it was the first week of November that I went.

When people post that they've just gotten theirs, could they post the approx date they sent off their application so we can see how they're progressing.

I think some of us should send thank-you cards to Colgate. Turned out to be an incredibly generous offer.

Well, it seems that I was not careful enough in my submission. They looked in to my appeal and determined that the price of the toothpaste was too cheap and so I must not have bought 100ml Total.
Damnn it! I must have picked up a 50ml pack or something.

Ah well, cant blame anyone but myself!

SharkTale

Got mine €65, sent end of October.

Other halfs claim was rejected because of date on dental receipt after purchase, Colgate told her to re-submit with correct date.

Thanks OP
