S&W Pistol Rebates Coming?

The article suggests that the terrorists are the ones drumming up business for gun makers, but whatever the source I suspect that S&W's reasons behind the current rebate program are more likely to be the balancing of unsold inventory rather than just creating more sales.

...or maybe a Shield 2.0 is on the way.
 
just got my second shield 9mm in yesterday. submitted rebate #2 and noticed that after 4 weeks of not showing up, my first rebate is on the Milano site. now just to wait
 
Rebates

I called the rebate company for S&W yesterday to see if they received mine yet. 1st one was submitted 4/4/17, 2nd one was submitted 4/27/17.The lady I talked to told me she had the first one in their system but not the 2nd one. I asked why? She told me it's taking them 8-10 just to process the rebate forms, then once they are processed be another 8-10 weeks to submit rebates. Smh. Check back in few weeks to see if 2nd one was submitted

So 16 to 20 weeks is what folks should expect? :confused: Geesh!!! :eek:

I hope no one here really needs that rebate money. :(
 
They were pretty fast years ago with the free magazines they gave away. Based on everyone's experience, it looks like it will take 6+ months if ever to get the rebates.

My wife got a Shield on layaway today but will not get the rebate if we do not get it out by 6-30. Normally you get 2 months at this LGS. I wonder if this really matters since no one seems to be getting the rebates anyway :).
 
I own six S&Ws but this will be my last one I purchase if I don't receive the rebate

Three months here.

Not possible. Started April 1. Today would be 2 months, 2 and a half weeks since the deal started. Earliest anyone would get anything if they submitted on April 1 (highly unlikely at all) would be July 8 I bet.

I bought a .45 Shield 4/1. Shipped out 4/4. I picked up from FFL 4/7. Submitted rebate info 4/8. Milano says they processed 4/14.
Today would be 9 weeks + for me.

I just spoke with Milano and they said they're processing the mid May rebates now.
She also said that the rebate program runs until July 31st. You must buy the gun by June 31st, though.
 
I hope I'm not scheduled to work the shop on the 30th. I can just see the procrastinators rolling in an hour before closing to buy a bodyguard. Then when NICS goes down due to the volume....... :-(
 
This just showed up in my inbox from S&W:

Dear Valued Smith & Wesson Customer,


Thank you for your recent purchase and on behalf of Smith & Wesson firearms, I would like to personally apologize for the delay you have experienced in receiving your rebate on this purchase. Typically we are able to process rebates within a few weeks of receipt, and our recent performance does not meet our standard.

The "Savings You Can Carry" program has been very popular, and the tremendous response we received temporarily overwhelmed our systems. I have personally overseen our correction of the situation, and am committing to you that if you submitted your rebate in the month of April, your rebate submission will be processed no later than July 7, 2017. If you submitted your rebate in the month of May, your rebate submission will be processed no later than July 31, 2017.

Nothing is more important to us than your loyalty. Please accept our sincerest apologies and our appreciation for your patience, as well as your dedication to the products we are so proud to deliver.


Regards,

Matt Buckingham
President, Smith & Wesson Firearms
