Ammo deals!

[hufnagel]

mine was from the late november program, so maybe the later programs are more awash with people taking advantage of it? I know I desperately want to but I can't justify buying more at this point.

Good to know.

I submitted a rebate to Federal on a case of AE Mid January.

The last time I did the rebate thing was a couple years ago. I could be mistaken, but i wanna say it was Remington at the time.

Anyways, between the time it took to get the money, and the time I spent cutting UPC labels, and printing receipts from my online order and mailing it and whatever else I had to do...... I came to the conclusion I didn't care about going through all that anymore. This is a great deal though for the folks that aren't deterred by all that stuff.

Therein lies the rub. I submitted three separate rebates to Federal late last year (2x Black Boxes, 1x HST) and not a single one has paid out yet. Additionally, the reports from reddit imply that Vista is no longer mailing checks, but is now instead giving out prepaid MasterCards and is extending the fulfillment period out to 10-12 weeks (which, in my case, have already passed for one submission).

I'm usually not one to turn my nose up at deals, but between this and the general weakness/dirtiness of Blazer Brass, I think it's definitely worth considering just paying an extra $10-20 for a case of S&B instead.

Oh well. I hope the rebate comes through, but it's a good price even without the rebate. (I bought it before I posted about it.) Blazer Aluminum is on my "do not buy" list, but I can't remember if I've ever even tried Blazer Brass.

I'm about half way through with 2K rounds of S&B, and I've been extremely pleased with it. I'll definitely buy more of it at some point.

The new Federal system is super streamlined. Take a pic of the boxes, a pic of the receipt, a pic of the UPC, send.

And yet despite that, it’s now taking 12+ weeks to send a gift card instead of just printing off a check. Go figure.

Wow that's really cool! For the current/recent rebates I had looked at the form and it looked like it was the same old stuff. Guess I'll take another look cuz that changes things. The wait is stupid, but not a dealbreaker if it really is that easy. Thanks for the heads up.

Nice to hear it's not just me getting the slow pays from Federal. Especially since I couldn't help myself ordering two more cases from Brownell's.

I sent the rebate in the beginning of November and haven’t heard anything. I got the confirmation email it was accepted but nothing else. I honestly forgot about it until I saw this thread. Even without the rebate it was a good deal though.

Yes, and I do not do rebates. Just discount the ammunition rather than rebates.
