Ive been waiting for ever to get my rebate, since around june 29. Sent everything online just as carefully as could be, still have the image of my receipt. just got a leter marked invalid receipt enclosed. You cant get more valid than this. The money was going to be a small blessing, im so pissed now. Cant even call them yet, ggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I got one so far. I was around 3 months. I got 3 more submitted in June. Crazy how long this is taking. Cant figure out how Smith got so far behind on this, the deals were smoking good.

I also got the Federal ammo rebate. They send out an email showing it was received and that it is being processed within 2 weeks of getting it.

I got a $75 rebate when I bought my RCBS Master Reloader kit, took 60 days total from mailing it to receiving the rebate check. The when I bought my Savage AXIS XP, I got a $75 rebate, took 30 days from the day I mailed it to get the check, but some how or another the wife ended up with new clothes both times while I got the privilege of depositing them into our bank account.o_O

I sent in a rebate for a Remington I bought several years ago.
I mailed the rebate form and a copy of the receipt.
About 30-35 days later I received a letter from Remington telling me they could not send my check to my official mailing address as it's a PO Box.
They sent this letter to my PO Box.
When I resent the rebate form, including their correspondence, using my street address, they sent me a letter back denying the rebate as it was outside the rebate timeframe.
Of course it was late due to the whole PO Box fiasco.
I never did get the rebate.

I hate rebates.
If you want to trade my info for a discount, then make me fill out the form at point of sale and then give me the money right there.

Most rebates are not handled by those offering them, such as S&W May have a third party processing and issuing checks. I sent one rebate in and finally received a $15 check. Which I deposited. A week later I received a letter not to cash the check as rebate companies changed, the company bounced my deposit and the bank charged me $30 fees. Nice rebate.
