Manufacturer rebates have become a real game
1. They like to use bank cards. A card has less of a chance being used and often only a portion of the cards value is used before its expiration. The unused card values go back to manufacturer.
2. Rebates mailing envelopes are often disguised to look like junk mail. Rebate issuers are very aware of our behaviors to toss junk mail.
3. Some rebate issuers wait a long time before issuing rebates in hopes the buyer forgets
4. A recent rebate request, that I submitted, required submission of the rebate electronically with the UPC and form scanned into a PDF. Many folks cannot do this.

looks like a nice rifle, even if you don't get the rebate.

No experience with Tikka rebates but S&W took several months to get theirs out a couple of years ago. Yours will probably show up eventually.

My Savage 220 rebate (10% or $78) took a long time to process, it came as a Master Card, it worked!

No, I never got my rebate. In the past year I have learned ANY Tikka support is hard to come by for any reason. I applied for the rebate before the end of August. I did find it interesting that after applying for it was never given a number saying it was in the system for tracking. If anyone knows of a phone number or email address to contact please post it.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Just called this number to check on mine. 1-800-619-4703. Waited about 5 minutes on hold then a woman answered and took my last name, ZIP code and street address. She got my first name from that so they had it on file. She says it was mailed Nov. 21st and would take up to 15 business days to arrive, which puts it around Dec.13th (Friday the 13th of all things). Going to come in a plain white envelope, won't say Tikka or rebate anywhere on it but will just have my name in the address window and a prepaid Visa card inside.
So, we'll see what arrives next week...

Thanks Jim called , mine was mailed 11-21 so will let you know when it arrives.
I hate gift cards wife just tried to use her work safety gift cards at Costco, they used them on a laptop found out it was out of stock now it takes 10 plus days to get money reissued. I have had nothing but issues with them. Take cash and convert it to a non-cash promise of payment with there rules on when and where to spend it. Do not want to deal with it. Christmas stocking stuffer!

I have sent several Menards rebates in and I get about 1/2 of them back. ONe was when I bought a large supply of new flooring. With the Menards rebates they come in like a post card and are easy to see. My guess is most of them get snatched up by postal employees long before they get to my house. As for the ones that look like a credit card or debit card, when I worked at Walmart I could only get about 1/2 of them to work as well. Folks would leave all ticked off. I can't blame them. I really prefer my rebates up front. I'm kind of tired playing their game with them.

Anyone? None for me, and I called in twice. Both times they said it was sent and gave me a date to expect it.
