Bushnell WeatherFX $50 Wal-Mart rebate (FAR in-store YMMV)

LOTS available in the Chicago NW burbs. Elk Grove Village (Meacham) has about a dozen CX in the clearance aisle (back left corner) and about 10 more on the back wall in hardware. Barrington Road (Streamwood) has about 10 in hardware. They both also had a couple 7 day units. Still priced $50/$75.

My closest Wal-Mart had no 7-day and, for 5-day, had mostly "CX" (maybe 10) and one "C". It seemed that the only advantage of the "CX" was that it could run on battery or electricity, while the "C" seemed to be electricity only. So, you could really go wireless. Did I miss this on the "C" packaging? I bought "CX". Cost was $50.

Mines not showing up yet.

my rebate is showing also

My rebate still hasn't shown up yet... sent it a couple of days after the first post.

How dumb...I highly doubt web-rebates singles you out. Given the high number of successful submissions, its pretty plain to see this is a legit offer. Of course, mistakes will be made on the part of the rebate staff. Anyone that has done a large number of rebates has had it happen at least once..if not a few times, including myself. Get over it..

Danzilla said: My store still had a dozen left of the 5 day models. I was curious, so I bought one of each C and CX versions. Aside from the antenna showing on the C version (and the chromed button) the main difference I noted was the power adapter was different. Larger and significantly heavier in the CX package. At the moment I'm thinking they went from a light rectifier adapter in C to a heavier transformer adapter in CX... but I haven't opened either yet. Will update when I decide if I'm keeping both or which one...

Did you open both of them?
Which one are you gonna keep and why?

i don't shop WalMart much, but went to look for this at the rosemead, ca, store but they were oos. today i was driving in the pico rivera, ca, area and that store had about 8 of the 5-day model in stock. i bought 3 at $50 ea. now i'll have some use for all the aaa nimh's that i have but have stopped using.

btw, i bought the ambient 5-day weather forecasters from Radio Shack when they went on clearance a few years ago and gave them as gifts. everyone loved them, and it's the most useful gadget we have in our home. my teenaged kids stopped asking, "is it going to be hot today?" or "is it going to be cold today" and they just look at the forecaster. i'm the the sgv of socal and get the los angeles forecast which is close enough.

fwiw, the pico rivera WalMart has lower prices than the rosemead store. i bought some chrome shelving units and a laundry basket yesterday in rosemead for $24.xx and $6.50. today i saw the identical items in pico rivera for $19.xx and $6.00. i used to work 20 yrs in retail pricing, in the IT division. stores are priced differently, either by geographic region, or other groupings. generally, stores in high crime neighborhoods and rich neighborhoods have the highest prices, and lower income working class neighborhoods have the lower prices.

I've received an email today telling me my rebate has been received and is being processed. When I checked web-rebates.com it shows: Your rebate has completed the first 2 of 4 steps. A check request for $150.00 is being processed.

I mailed one request for three units on 7/17. Seems like everything is processing as it should.

On another note, I've found it very comical to read the comments from those that have a need to complain about what this unit doesn't or should do. Its a weather forecaster. It does what your local TV weather forecaster does which as most know is not 100% correct. Its a forecast and subject to changes. Also, depending on what part of the city your forecast is taken from and where you live you may see differences also. If you don't live in or near one of the +/- 150 major cities you will not be able to use it other than to know the weather forecast in +/- 150 major cites that you don't live in. I personally find it very useful to be able to glance at it and have a general idea of the local weather. If one wants a more detailed or the latest current report I would seek it elsewhere.

Bottom line, for the cost of a postage stamp you get an automatic updating weather forecaster.

Not if you live in AK, MO, DE, OR, or NH.

posting your email here is not very smart. You can expect tons of spam to this email.

LetsGoMets1 said: It has now been 4 weeks since I've mailed my rebate in and still not appearing on web- rebates. Anybody else have to wait this long to see it appear there?

Mine showed within 2 weeks, I was surprised.

Wal-Mart in Bowling Green, KY off Campbel Lane has Three units, for $50 ... and they were kind enough to attach the $50 rebate form.

Blessings!

In for 2. There are around 8 5-day ones and 2 7-days still available at WalMart Mount Sterling, KY.

After a couple weeks web-rebates updated.

Your rebate has completed the first 2 of 4 steps
A check request for $150.00 is being processed.

Now the real test begins, actually having them approve and mail the check. I made copies of everything so i'll wait and cross my fingers.

Mine was rejected for missing UPC. After a two minute phone call, it was corrected. By the way, the phone number for Web-Rebates in the wiki was incorrect. I made the correction.

Received an email Tuesday, August 25, 2009 9:01 PM, but just now checked the Web-Rebates site for the status of Bushnell Outdoor Products rebate program for Bushnell Weather FX 5-Day Forecasting $50 Rebate Offer Number 493-17 which, according to "Bushnell Outdoor Products" <BounceBack_6342_7781981@FulfillmentProcessing.com>, "will be validated based on the requirements as printed on the rebate form."

I was disgusted to note that for the status of my rebate, the site says: "Error(s): Purchase was made outside of the qualifying period"

Well it just so happens that I have a copy of the rebate form including the rebate requirements and my sales receipt and the purchase was NOT made outside of the qualifying period and I can prove it. I am just flabbergasted that those folks could post such a thing on their web site!
