    6. When you make a purchase using a coupon simply enter the purchase amount before taxes. Then have the merchant initial your copy, and cut the coupon in half. Retain the customer copy for your records or to be deposited at the school drop box.

    7. An email notice will be sent to you approximately one week after you print a coupon. It will ask if you used the coupon and if available the purchase amount. If you have time, please answer this if possible Finding.com uses this information to make sure the appropriate rebates are collected and re-distributed.

    8. The merchant will place the coupon in a postage paid envelope, which is returned to Finding.com every three months.

    9. Finding.com then accumulates and calculates the coupons and bills the merchant for the appropriate rebates.
