I just recently bought an M&P15T and submitted the mail-in-rebate form for the Nations Finest program (active/reserves military and vets). I was just wondering if anyone on this forum has also submitted and/or received the rebate. If so how long did it take for you to get the rebate? Thanks in advance for any info

When I got mine back in December I didn't know this program existed. Is this program new?

I've used it 6 times

It takes 3-6 months.

Just got my check last week, purchased end of Feb. So 10 weeks or so for me.

Thx for the info guys! TangoFoxtrot, if u look on the S&W site there is a tab with the rebate coupon. Ends June 30.

Thanks imku. It may be too late now. I bought mine in December 2011.

Ok, who else has experienced this?

I submitted my rebate for $100.00 (purchased the M&P 15T). According to the Milano website, they received my rebate information on Nov 23, 2012 and the rebate was sent out to me on Jan 21, 2013. Today is the 31st of January and I still have not received the rebate.

There isn't a point of contact phone number to call regarding this, so I emailed S&W customer service for help (see below).

=======================

I don't know where else to turn for questions regarding the Nation's Finest rebate program. I have submitted my rebate information, and according to the Milano Rebate webpage, my rebate was sent out on January 21, 2013. To date (January 30, 2013) I still have not received this rebate.

I would like to know if you may have some sort of contact information I could use to contact Malano regarding the (missing) rebate.

Below is a screen shot of the online Milano Rebate information sheet.

Thank you for your time in this matter.

Sincerely,

Bob Johns

I had no problems with mine, I didn't even check the website for updates and it took a total of 10 weeks from the time I sent it in, I got a very nice letter, a commemorative coin and of course the $100 check I thinks it's really standup and will definitely purchase more S&W products.

I just got my rebate today. It was submitted 3 Nov 2012.

Hang in there. My rebates (about 5 so far) have always showed up many days after the shipping date. I also wondered if they were lost or whatever, but they all eventually showed up in my mailbox.

**PHEW!!**

Ok, status update. I received my Coin, Letter and Check today. What a relief. Didn't think the US Post Office could take 12 days to deliver a small package!

lol, especially since it was just a padded envelope! I'm just glad smith and wesson does it. The coin goes well with the rest of my collection and was a nice surprise. (I know it's probably dumb but I still think its great that they added a coin )

It does take a while, about 3 months for me, I called the milano number and said sorry about the wait please be patient (a good trait). Got the rebate, a nice letter, and a coin, Thank you Smith and Wesson!

Also go their website and "Take Action"

"Preserving America's Rights"

I just got mine yesterday... took about three months. No letter and no coin. The check was part of a tear-apart style envelope. I guess they quit sending out the letter and coin. It was a surprise to get the rebate as I had forgotten about it! Thanks S&W!

Dang it! I got excited when I saw "vets" mentioned in a post above. Unfortunately, that's not quite accurate:

just got my rebate check today.......I submitted it for my M&P 40C that I purchased in January

I should have my rebate for my 15T sometime around christmas....

Does anybody have a copy (downloadable) of the Nation's Finest M&P Rebate Form from June 2014?

The Milano company is the slowest for any rebate I have even submitted. Dont understand why S&W keeps using them.
Sent mine for for a AR on Apr26, nothing showed on the Milano website until July1st that they received it. Couldnt get it to open/view to ck status so i was concerned there was a problem. I emailed S&W, they replied rebate was received and I should get it by AUG 8th, basically 3 freaking months. nothing received as of yet.

I think companies do this intentionally in the hope you never submit it or forget about it to save them money. Why not just drop the price or better yet go back to free magazines

I used it last year twice. As others have stated, 3-6 month turn around.

They offer it now for the M&P10 too. I wish they did that last year...

WELL, finally got my rebate in and it only took 12 weeks and a nasty email. I had 4 other rebates I had sent in for other products(non Firearms) and they all came back within 5 weeks. I'm amazed how slow Milano is.

I also received rebate refunds from this great program on two M&P 15 rifles. It took me approximately 8 weeks both times to receive.

I just received mine ($30.00). I didn't even realize there was a rebate, until I saw this forum!

Yes I have received my rebate. It has taken a while approximately 4-5 months. All I can say is be Patient, and as they say " the check is in the mail " LOL. Jim

the OP posted that nearly 3 years ago.
i'm sure he's gotten his rebate by now.

I submitted for both of my M&P15 rifles and a great rebate program, just takes awhile to receive your rebate checks. Great program!

Since Japes hasn't said it... "Holy thread resurrection".

Took 4-5 months maybe a little less for me. By the time I rec'd it I had forgotten about the program. Had to look it up for a reminder as to what it was.

Wow! This one got a dead cat double bounce!
