applied for May 1, 2026 received my applied for $40 rebate in the form of a MC virtual card July 16, 2026 (added to my Amazon account)…rebates arrived within the 8-12 weeks advertised…mine were never denied... I suspect as mentioned above that they were waiting for the return windows to...

hey guys and thanks…the point I was trying to get at was if you all thought saving money was worth it over paying more essentially for a warranty…most batteries near ChicagoLand (of the one’s I am looking at) are Clarios made... you’ve shared your answers and it is appreciated thanks...

happy birthday and enjoy the watch Bill
