Tikka Rebate

[Pickettpuncher]

Bought my tikkas in early/mid January. Got the rebate today

 

[5MilesBack]

I put one in in Dec and one in Jan. Got an email the other day saying a check was on the way. I assume that was the first one. I just wrote the serial number on the receipt since it didn't have it on there, and of course sent the picture of the gun with the serial number.

Rejected on serial number BS. I guess I’ll call them since it’s worked for others

Thanks for the heads-up guys. I just checked and discovered that I had 3 rebates rejected. All required sales receipts/invoices, model numbers, serial numbers, and photos were submitted. I just responded to each denial individually appealing their rebate denial. Hopefully, Beretta will get this right and I will hear back soon.

Interesting to see how many denials people have had. I emails through the contact us link yesterday and am waiting a response as it had been over 13 weeks and still “processing”

I think it's Beretta customer service setting the tone for what to expect.

Submitted mine sometime early January. Received rebate via PayPal yesterday.

It's hard to say with a 3rd party rebate company involved who exactly the culprit is but a pain in the ass nonetheless.

Beretta CS gave me the Rapid Rebate phone number to follow up with
1-800-619-4703

I called just now and let them know it said Serial Number not valid for this offer. They "reviewed" and put me on hold. She came off hold and said I am approved and it will be 12 weeks to process. I did not have to give any additional info and she did not ask any questions.

So now I'm 8 weeks in and the wait time is reset. Whatever I guess, lol. Only 75 bucks

Thanks for that!

I called and they rectified the issue immediately. CS was very helpful and friendly. I inadvertently added a "P" to the s/n as that was on the barrel.

CS said it would be about 8-10 weeks

Thanks for the info in this thread. Checked my status and said my SN was invalid. Called the CS number posted above and within minutes the lady checked my info and said your SN is valid and will be 10-12 weeks.

What gets me, is if it wasn’t valid prior, but is now valid after a phone call and no new info given from me, who dropped the ball the first time? Are they doing it on purpose, hoping people forget or don’t call to make it right?

Sure feels a lot like it.

Same exact experience.

It is a game. Always is with rebates.

 

[TripleJ]

I submitted mine on December 22nd and mine still says "in process".

 

[chindits]

Yeah what a game when a photo of the damn serial number is submitted, how do they get invalid

[WiscoHoundsman]

My two rebates showed up today. Never did get an email beyond the confirmation email. And it still shows in process on the website

 

[Kimber7man]

Yeah, I just checked and got the same:

Current Status:
We are unable to process your claim for the following reasons:
- Serial Number not valid for this offer
You will receive a letter in the mail that explains the steps required to resolve these issues.

Bought a T3X Lite 6.5 creed. So looks like I'll be making a phone call tomorrow as well...

 

[bow_dozer]

I had my claim initially denied. Called in and talked to CS. They said they have not updated a batch of serial numbers in their system resulting in the initial deny. All good to go now.

 

[TheCougar]

Has anyone gotten their rebate from tikka yet? If so how long did you wait and did you get any extra emails from them beyond the initial email stating they received it?

Yes. Got mine a couple of weeks ago, direct to my PayPal account.
