I purchased an M&P 2.0 compact this week. I go to put in for the rebate and it says the system does not recognize my serial number. It's now past the date to file for the rebate. What's going on?

What's going on is that you're told to mail in the rebate form. According to the instructions, rebate submissions must be postmarked by the end of THIS month for purchases thru the end if LAST month. Where's the hoax?

Check the date on the rebate against the day of purchase. Should be simple procedure. !

M&P rebate is a hoax.

A hoax? Then how are hundreds of thousands of them being mailed out and cashed? I’ve received 2 rebates for 2 purchases. I read and followed instructions, so apparently there’s something to it. Yes I had to wait a bit. But I didn’t buy the guns simply to get a rebate. Just a nice little bonus.

Just as long as the Remington 870 rebate is good, I am happy.
 
I am talking about the rebate for the two mags, two boxes of ammo, and a speed loader. The one that ended on 9/30/17.

The same goes for one I bought back at the beginning of June. I submitted it right away and now here we are, four months later, and still nothing.

It's not a hoax, all the possible serial numbers are not in their database. It says right on the form if it doesn't work to mail it in. You have until the end of October to do it.

I have no way to print that out. No printer. The library is just over 100 miles away. (I live out in the woods) it's not worth going to print and mail in.

OMG. I would say to hand write all the info then and send it in. But you are going to need a copy of your receipt too. Maybe take a Polaroid.

I don't think you guys are understanding. I went through all the steps. I uploaded the picture of my receipt. It's completely ridiculous. And work for my others.

Rebates are always ridiculous. It's the nature of the beast. Try some of the recent ammo rebates where you have to do all kinds of ridiculous stuff like cut each UPC off each box and staple them to pieces of paper. I did the UMC ammo last year and I swear it took me like an hour to do all the steps for my 40 boxes. But in the end I got my money back. They go out of their way to make it difficult. It is their plan to entice you to buy but then not follow all the stupid rules and give up. You have the whole month of October, I assume you would need to go into town at some point, do it then.
 
Is the 2.0 Compact even included? The rebate form names the Full Size M&P 2.0 as being eligible, but doesn't mention the 2.0 Compact.

Clearly states ANY M&P Full-size, compact or Shield.

That's correct. One could make the argument that refers to the original series, what people are calling the 1.0. It specifically states the Full Size M&P 2.0 and then goes on to say any M&P Full Size, Compact, or Shield. Just my take on it.

Actual verbiage from the rebate form:

"Offer valid on any NEW full size model M&P® M2.0™ pistol, any NEW full size or compact model M&P® pistol, and any NEW M&P Shield® pistol, all in calibers 9mm, 40S&W, and 45Auto, lawfully purchased between July 1, 2017 and September 30, 2017 (inclusive). No substitutions."
 
Rumor on another forum said they spoke to S&W and they will honor the rebate for the compacts but with 17 rounds mags. So who knows.
 
I am going to put in a call to Smith&Wesson tomorrow and see what they say. I will post up and let everyone know.
