Hello Rob!

 RM> That's ridiculously wide open..

The form asks you to name a brand of bread you bought recently.  
I don't buy as much bread anymore, and I never really recall  
the brand - especially the european sourdough ones.  So.. I  
wrote "noname bagels".


 RM> Now that I think about it, I may not be eligible anyways.
 RM> It seems to only cover their own no-name bread and Weston
 RM> Foods products and I usually buy Wonderbread..

I failed to notice the limited range of eligable bread brands.   
I was filling in the form from the phone.  And I just wanted to  
get it done asap.


 RM> But.. no receipts required, so..     B)

Go for it.  Can't really lose.  However, the system is a kind  
of info-harvestor - they want full legal name, DOB, phone  
number, mailing address, and an email if you want the funds as  
an e-Transfer.  All public info though, so no big deal.
