Who here has received their Federal ammo rebate?

Not the same rebate but I put one in last December and received my items in early April.

For Federal ammo and handled by Vista.

I submitted two, and have the first one but haven't seen the second yet but I did get an email saying that it's on the way.

I received mine a number of weeks ago.

I made two separate purchases and submitted two rebates. The first one went through no problem. The second one didn't.

I submitted 3 of them for Blazer Brass Black Box 9mm (one at the beginning of Jan, Feb, and March), and one for the Federal Automatch .22lr deal as well. All were Vista Outdoor rebates, all done through their rebate website. I got the 1st rebate (from January I'm assuming) in mid-April, and am still waiting for the other 3.

For what it's worth... I got one of those "your rebate is on its way" emails a day or 2 AFTER the rebate actually arrived in the mail. Made me think I had a 2nd one on the way for a few days before I realized they'd just goofed on the timing.

I have received all four rebates I put in for, no problems.

Have recieved mine. Took sever as l weeks like they said it would. Just submitted the rimfire rebate a few days ago (last eligible submittal day).

Tried to use my first card yesterday, it wasn't accepted. For those that have the paperwork, is there anything you need to do to active the card? I don't recall seeing anything.

Haven't applied for one recently, but when I was building up my supply of 5.56 NATO, I took advantage of two of them. Got both in about the time they said, IIRC it was about 6 weeks for each. Kinda nice getting money in the mail, sorta helps take the sting out of the bills that come.

Took a few months to get mine. When the rebate debit card arrived, I had forgotten about it and had to think why I got it.

I got mine and the card worked fine. Can’t remember if activation was needed. I used it in full at a restaurant where the bill was higher than the amount on the card. Used my Visa to pay the remainder.

Don't remember for sure... But I *think* I did have to activate it... I seem to recall being surprised at having to activate a prepaid debit/gift card. Used mine for... wait for it... more ammo

Took me 4 months for a $17 card.

I was pretty close to that on the rimfire rebate. I think I submitted March 27. Anyway, I have not seen mine yet.

If anyone gets there's and can verify it needs to be activated please PM me. Thanks.

Didn’t it come with instructions? I thought mine did.

I did one of the black pack rebates when they first started and received the card sometime in February I believe. I submitted it within the first week and did so online if it matters.

Applied on March 22 online.
Approved on April 4 .
Card came today may 6 .

Called to activate it by phone. Done. $49.98 balance. Card expires 11/19. Use it or loose it.

I got a $50 card. Activated it on the website. Tried to use it, twice denied. Called the number on the back, activated it again. Worked. Make sure if you buy something more than the amount on the card you do a "split transaction" Otherwise it will be denied. Rebates are a PITA, never again. Joe

I sent mine in mid March and don't have it yet.

I got mine in the mail yesterday from Program Headquarters. It's for the Federal's Black Friday rebate from 22lr. You need to call 800-798-4104 to Activate the card. Hope this helps. Leon

It took my last one quite a while from the time they notified me until it actually arrived in my mailbox. I wouldn’t give up just quite yet.

I've participated in several of the Federal rebates over the past several months, and have received all but the most recently submitted one which was about eight weeks ago. They stated an ETA of 10-12 weeks to receive my rebate, so I am not worried as of yet.
