I guess everyone would stop griping if they just DIDNT offer a rebate at all!!!
My customers and I have always got our rebates from Lowrance. I don't care how long it takes. I like getting CHRISTmas gifts in the mail. Unless you're hand to mouth, (in which case you shouldn't have spent your money on a fish finder or electronics anyway), just be patient. A late rebate is still better than No rebate!!!!
