Manufacturer Mail-In Rebates

Q: How do I reach the manufacturer for questions about their rebates/ forms?
A: All rebate forms have an toll-free number or a website address for the manufacturer.

Q: How do I know that the product comes with a rebate?
A: For your convenience, we display both the price you'll pay for the item and your final net price after you claim your rebate. If you believe some of our rebate information is inaccurate, please contact us with as many details as possible so that we may correct the error.

Q: How long does it take to receive my rebate?
A: This varies by manufacturer. However, most rebate checks will arrive within 6-10 weeks. All rebate forms should include a timeframe, usually within the small print.

Q: Whom do I contact if I have not received my mail-in rebate?
A: Use the manufacturer's toll-free number or website listed on the rebate form.

Q: Do rebates have expiration dates?
A: Yes, most rebates do expire. The rebate form should have all expiration information on it, including the date by which your rebate should be postmarked.

Q: What do I need to send with my rebate form?
A: The rebate form will have a list of what you need to include, but standard procedures are to include the receipt (proof of purchase - normally, a print-out of confirmation page or email from OpticsPlanet.com will be just fine), serial number or UPC code, and completed form.

Q: Do I have to submit my original receipt, or can it be a copy?
A: This varies by manufacturer. Most will accept a copy of the receipt, but the rebate form will indicate which is required. In either case, be sure to make copies of everything you send for your records.

Q: Can I send in more than one rebate for the same purchase?
A: No. Federal law prohibits this under US Mail Fraud Statutes (18 USC, Sections 1341 and 1342).

Q: Do the manufacturers sell my information to third parties for the purpose of solicitation?
A: Some manufacturers do. Be sure to read the fine print on the form. Some will give you the option of checking a box to keep your name from becoming public information. Others will include disclaimers stating their business practices. If you have questions about a specific manufacturer, call the number provided on the form.  OpticsPlanet.com does NOT sell any of your personal information.
