Kind of a large rebate for a company that may or may not be in business in 6 months.
I would never pay $50 for this but since is is FAR, what the heck. Just hope the rebate comes.

While any business can and do fail, Bushnell is a pretty solid company - LINK to product

Why would you need an alarm clock? This is the kind of thing (IMHO) that you keep on your fridge.

I actually went out to WalMart to check them out. This is a little different from the one I bought two years ago. It is both better and worse. Instead of picking up only the local weather reports and being able to easily cycle through them, you have access to the data from the entire nation and you have to scroll through them in alphabetical order till you get to yours. This can be both a good thing and a bad thing depending on where you live. You might be near a state's border and would like to see the weather over there but the other state's name might be halfway down the list from yours. Another feature I wasn't aware of was the A/C adapter. This really changes things as you no longer have to deal with the rapidly depleting battery. Also, if you are using the A/C adapter instead of batteries, the backlight will stay illuminated in a color that represents the current temperature. Pretty neat. My WalMart had a whole bunch of them (the blue screen sticker 5 day version). I didn't see any other type.

My WalMart in Arkansas had lots of them. The 7 day model $75 5 day $50 both eligible for $50 rebate.

Tons of 5CX's and a few 5C's left at my WalMart. Bought one 5CX... Anyone know the difference between the C and the CX models??

If anybody is planning on putting this in a bedroom plugged in, beware, the light at nighttime is extremely bright. When I brought my new " free" toy home yesterday I was so proud. Then at night it was too bright for our bedroom so the wifey told me that either the gadget or she goes downstairs because she couldn't sleep. I compromised and me and my new toy went downstairs and I now have it in the family room.

I'm happy with it although there is now way I'd pay $100 if that was the original price at WM.Even for $50 it is too steep, but for $3.00 tax and a .44 stamp it is awesome.

So does C. Anybody else want to guess on what the differences are? I need to go back and compare the green and blue ones. Not sure if one of those is the C and one the CX. I bought three because I have 3 places I can put them. You could also do a neat little East Coast/Central/West Coast thing if you are into that kind of thing (like having multiple clocks for different time zones).

According to the manuals on the web site, the "newer" models have a brightness setting on the back, high, low and off. I'm thinking I need to swap the two I haven't opened.

There are other seemingly positive changes too, like showing the internal temp. You can tell if you have the old one by looking at your manual and the page that shows the temperature ranges and colors, "70s" is repeated twice and "70s" is where "80s" should be.

Remember the newer models have a different SKU #, so may not be eligible for the rebate

Newer Model #s: 950013C / 950015C / 950017C

I picked up one yesterday for $45. I was thinking about picking couple more but will pass. Its not worth the potential rebate problems. Its surely not worth $100 or even $45.

Yes, a bunch of mine had rebate forms taped. I haven't noticed that before, and seems to be unusual considering clearance varies store by store. Almost like they had a corporate directive to get these out the door for good or something.
