I hate rebates! Every time I try and get one, it goes south on me.
I have been tracking my $100 rebate since they received my form on Feb 20th.
The day after the deadline ended, it showed denied (non-conformed)
So I called the rebate center, and after a short hold I was told the bad news:
Cabelas put their inventory sticker over the factory UPC, I was no getting the rebate.

I fussed a little with the person on the phone who again put me on hold.
She came back and said that there was no such model as the Savage 12FV, thus my rebate was denied.
So which was it?

I called Cabelas to vent. They opened an investigation and said I would hear from them in a few days.
I then came here and found a picture of the Feb sale paper, and double-checked my copy of the rebate form.
The rebate form clearly says 12FV in big letters across the top.

So, armed with solid info, I called the rebate center again.
I got a different rep who said my rebate has just been approved.
He again blamed Cabelas for covering up the UPC.
They are very frustrated with Cabelas for covering up the UPC with an inventory sticker...
That doesn't explain why one of the folks at the rebate place tried to tell me the 12FV didn't exsist.
Anyway, I think it's all OK now...
Now if I can figure out how to get Hornady to send me my free bullets....................
