I'm not really sure what you can do about it now... but I noticed that both of the current rebates, when I bought my 5040, wanted the original UPC. Of course there was only one UPC, but then I noticed that the rebates had slightly different mailing addresses. Assuming that nothing is ever easy, I made a copy of the UPC and put it in the second envelope, along with a note referring whoever opened the second envelope to the first envelope, which contained the real UPC. This, apparently, was good enough for them, as my rebate checks (both of them) arrived in the mail today. And in separate envelopes, I might add.
