They'll probably ship those cases in about 2 years ... if ever. It took forever to receive my Colt promotional jackets from several years ago. I think they just hope people will forget or get tired of sending email inquiries.
NOT A COLT HATER. Just keep'n it for realz. |

I sent my info in for this rebate on my new 6920 SOCOM and got a postcard back saying this model is not supported... WTF Colt? It's still a 6920 dammit!

GREAT, I'm submitting one next week on the same model. Also a Mexican 6920. I expected to be denied on the Mexican 6920 but not the SOCOM.

I agree. Let me know what they say. I plan to submit mine Tuesday. Hopefully it's just a snafu, them thinking it's an older SOCOM and not knowing about the recent release of the 200 new units. Earl

I'm calling them Monday to bitch, it says right on the poster ANY model of 6920. View Quote |

Not sure this is going to fly with Colt on the Mexican 6920's...its not a Colt Authorized sale or promotion...technically speaking. But, its definitely worth a try. I will be waiting to see how you all make out on Monday...

I called Colt today, all they did was give me the phone number of the 3rd party company that is handling the rebates. It was very obvious that they had idea about the situation or anything about guns in general. They literally go off of UPC, model number, and serial number. It's completely black- and white to them and basically told me to fuck off, I didn't qualify.They said they'd give me call in a few days after they check into it but I suspect that was just to get me off the line.
Pricks. |

Great, sounds like neither of my new 6920's I pick up tomorrow will qualify. Oh well, I have tons of cases and mags but it was still a nice little bit of icing. Earl

I went ahead and put in for this on the SOCOM knowing what the results will be. Maybe they'll get tired of people b*tching.

Nah, they don't even know or care. I put it in for both my Mexican 6920 and the Socom 6920. Both were declined. "THE UPC BARCODE SUBMITTED IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THIS OFFER"
There is a ? to click on the rebate site to enter comments, request support. But it doesn't work. Their Captcha authentication is all messed up. No matter what you try to do there is a "ERROR for site owner: Invalid domain for site key" error message. I guess you could call and complain but I already know they aren't going to do anything so won't bother. Earl Quoted:

I got a voicemail from the 3rd party today. They said that Colt got back to them and greenlight-ed my rebate. Don't know if this effects any other submissions past or future. I would call them up and ask if you want this rebate with a SOCOM.

I submitted mine last week and haven't heard anything. I'm kind of hoping you guys blazed the trail for the rest of us.

Called Thursday and talked to "Amy." She was supposed to get back with me but I haven't heard anything yet. Would be interested to know if NE_Guardman saw his online check of rebate status change after they cleared it. View Quote "THE UPC BARCODE SUBMITTED IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THIS OFFER. THE SERIAL NUMBER PROVIDED INDICATES THE COLT MODEL PURCHASED IS NOT VALID FOR THIS OFFER." I'm really not that confident I'll be getting it. |

I can vaguely understand if they don't want to honor it for purchase of the contract Mexico carbines. But, I feel they should honor it for the SOCOM carbines that some of us have bought from Buds Gun Shop.

FWIW, I used the need support link on the rebate status page ON MY PHONE to send a message in regards to my rebate denial. I got an email back a few minutes ago that said my request is now VALID for fulfillment, please wait 6-8 weeks for delivery of your items!!

Does anyone know the contact number at Colt to get this resolved? I would hate to have to bother with a Deceptive Trade Practices Act suit.

Bought a Colt Competition pistol 8/4/17 and submitted my paperwork on that date. The range bag and other goodies arrived today 8/19/17. That is the fastest I have ever gotten the goodies. Jim

An update for the SOCOM guys. From my experience front-to-back, I don't think Colt "approved" the SOCOMs for the rebate exactly. Given the speculation on the serial numbers (maybe there wasn't a definitive range and it was a true parts grab cleanup run), maybe the couldn't add an approval to the 3rd party rebate place based on a specific range. I'm giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, and I'll assume that's the case. Anyway, mine was rejected initially. I pursued it more as I found out through this thread others were getting approved. I got the 3rd party number for the rebate place (1-844-456-2658) and started there. Over three weeks ago, I called to ask about the rejection and explained other SOCOMs were being approved. I got the "let me check, and I'll call you back today or tomorrow" response. I called back at after a week, and was told they were still waiting on a reply from Colt. Going on 3 weeks, I'd heard nothing. So, I used the "need help" email link at the bottom of the rebate place to send the a 2nd inquiry. 2 days later, they replied saying it was still awaiting an answer from Colt. At this point, I reached out to Colt via Facebook. I got an IM from them a couple days later. They looked it up, approved it, and thanked me for the purchase. Shortly after, the customer service rep from the rebate place replied. They basically said that the SOCOMs were still not approved, but that Colt OK'ed my particular request as Customer Satisfaction.
So there you go. That's my experience. My rebate just went to fulfilled, so hopefully it's in the mail, and they can't pull it back after I've put the secret sauce recipe out on ar15.com. I don't think I took it too far, and I was pleasant. After all, we're the guys dropping $1200.00 on an AR in a down market; I think we should get the freebies. |

Anybody elses status change again? Mine changed to "In Process."

[#35]
My guess is they're waiting on more cases. I'm still in process for the last week after being fulfilled before.

I was informed by Colt that the Mexican 6920 carbines do not qualify for the rebate because they were not sold by an authorized Colt dealer. According to Colt, the rifles were sold to the end user and the end user is selling on Gunbroker as "new old stock."
