Lowrance Rebates?

I bought a color GPS/Sonar combo last summer and sent in the rebate form. Now the Lowrance web site informs me they did not receive my application. My brother-in-law did the same earlier in the summer and did not receive his rebate until late fall. And then only after a some phone calls to Lowrance and their rebate service. Has anyone else been having problems?

I didn’t have that problem with Lowranc, but with many other manufactures. Personally, I think the entire rebate programs are scams to get your business and mailing info for marketing firms. Too bad all rebates aren’t applied at the point of purchase. Distributors would have an easier time working with their rep.

I ALWAYS make a photocopy of all the forms & receipts before sending in a rebate. Just in case, you know.

It took me 7 months to get my rebate, this was not a smooth process. When I mailed my application in I kept a photo copy and also sent the app certified. I then recieved a notice that the application was recieved and issued a tracking number. After a couple of calls to Lowrance I found out Lowrance was not handling the rebates, they hired a rebate company to handle the transactions and they were being slow because they were overwhelmed. When I finally got my rebate around Christmas, it was in the form of a post card. It looked like junk mail and could easily be discarded, I then posted a notification on IDO making consumers aware so their rebates didn’t get tossed. The rebate was not conceiled so, basically if someone went through your mailbox they saw a check for the amount you were owed. When I took the rebate check to the bank to cash, they had to call in a supervisor because they thought the rebate certificate was a scam with no cash value, everything worked out and I got my check cashed. This was a real pain in the
