yes:) but you only have till tomorrow to purchase. https://www.smith-wesson.com/rebates

would this qualify for the 75.00 S&W discount

Yes but you only have until June 30th. That's the cut off date for submitting the rebate form.

YES- but you have to submit rebate form before June 30- otherwise you won't get this opportunity again.

You can email in the rebate. You'll need to print out the purchase receipt to prove you bought it before June 30th. But you will need to wait for the firearm to arrive in order to get the serial#. You cannot get the serial# early, many have tried. The purchase date is most important here.

Yes until June 30th. Rebates are premiums offered by the manufacturer through purchases with partner companies like Buds. Make sure you follow ALL rebate instruction exactly as stated by the rebate. Failure to do this can delay or in some cases disqualify your rebate.

It sure would because the rebate is something you send in to the maker to get i don't think it has anything to really do with the dealer which budsgunshop always have good deals.

Yes but you only have until June 30th. That's the cut off date for submitting the rebate form.
