Does anyone know if this will work if you do not live in one of those cities? My grandparents live about a 30 minutes away from one of the towns and thought about getting it for them but does anyone know if it will still receive a signal? Can you just tell it what city you want it to report?

So does your newer CX model has the feature to control the brightness?

At our local store I watched a middle aged woman walk up to the display at about 2 PM, put her purse down, and she proceeded to tape the small rebate forms to each package. She did not have a store shirt or name tag on. When she was done taping all 25 units she left. ???? Maybe she is the mystery woman or Good Fairy, that also goes around and puts a quarter into expired parking meters? BTW Harrisurrg, PA East store had 5 of the 95000C models and she missed tagging them, but a price scan confirmed they were $50.00. I bought 2 of the CX model as the Lit# on the back of the package was newer than the C model. CX model was 98-1177/07-08 and I believe the C model was several months "older". I figured that was a "clue".

Hey, it works! Took about 30 minutes to get the final signal fix and is telling me it is "partly sunny and nice" here. Friendly little box.

This thing is ...Well! Today's high is 75 Current Temp 86 on the screen at the same time AWESOME!

Picked up the 7-day, today. Felt the wind speed was worth the extra money. And just as posted before, they had the rebate coupon's already attached. Very odd, also in pen underlined, the dates, and "limit 3 per household". Double odd! Works well, mine is flaming red in city 131. They had about 8 5-day left, 2 7-days. TY OP.

Oh forgot what I really wanted to post... I found some "hidden" features!

1) Hold the time-zone button, then press location UP. This will change the temp. from Fahrenheit to Celcius.

2) Hold the time-zone button (back) then press location DOWN. This will make it go into Debug Mode. You can see things like version, number of data packets etc... Now press the time-zone button again, and you can set if the backlight will by ON during AC (when plugged in), calibrate yellow and orange levels? Hold the time-zone button to exit debug mode.

Enjoy!

I just picked up two in West Norriton, PA (an aisle over from the paint section - by the smoke detectors). They had both the C and CX models of the 5-day (I didn't see the 7-day). There were at least 10 on the shelf. The shelf said $75, but they rang up as $50.

I just picked one up in the Hamilton, NJ Wal-Mart, they had 3 of the CX's at $50 each, but I couldn't find one for the life of me, so I asked an employee where they were and he might have picked up one, so there may be only one left.
Thanks OP

good gifts, thanks.

How can that be gifts if you cut off the UPC?

Sternforpres said:Just talked to a Bushnell rep, she thinks that the website is incorrect and the rebate is for both 5 and 7 day. She could not bring up the rebate (of course, PC trouble) but she said that if the rebate does not specifically say that it must be different SKUs, then we could purchase three identical units and get the $150...however, she did say that she has NEVER seen anything more than ONE rebate per household.

Needless to say, going to call again in an hour.

Just noticed this text on the Bushnell website...

Rebate good on 950005CX and 950005C models only.

See bottom right hand side...might not be true, but there it is.

Also wondering if the limit three per household also applies to unique SKUs, meaning you cannot buy three of the same item and get the rebate?

Regarding the limit three per household...the rebate form does not state anything about whether one needs to buy all three of the same model or not. In fact, it clearly states buy the 5 OR 7 day model and then the limit of three. You are correct in that the website states only two models/SKUs are included, however, the rebate form itself is what one should go by, IMO. And, that includes four model/SKUs clearly at the top right of the form.

Better make and keep copies and mail early-LOL!

I wouldn't mind giving or receiving one of these as a gift, with or without the UPC. It's not like the UPC has anything to do with the unit's functionality. If that means that I don't have class, well, I can live with that.
