How Do Rural King Rebates Work?

To take advantage of a Rural King rebate, you must first purchase the item at full regular retail price. The rebate could be for a single item, or it could be for a percentage of your entire Rural King purchase.

You will most likely need to attach the receipt to the rebate or a clear photocopy to prove you have fulfilled the rebate's terms and conditions.

Rural King E-bates

Mist of Rural King's rebates are in the form of an 'E-Bate.' An E-Bate is the electronic equivalent of a mail-in rebate. The difference is instead of getting the money you get a store credit. The E-Bate is supposed to be a faster and more convenient way of getting your rebate but according to the instructions on the E-Bate, you still will wait up to six weeks for a response.

To file submission for your E-bate you need this information ready:

  • Qualifying Rebate
  • 11-Digit Receipt Number
  • Name of Store

  1. First and last name
  2. Your complete address

Common Issues With Rural King Rebates

Some rather dissatisfied customers of Rural King have voiced their displeasure over customer service-related issues, some of which are with the Rural King rebate and E-Bate programs.

Lost rebate claims that were mailed in were the biggest complaint with lost rebate checks being a close second.

In an article published by The Southern Illinoisan, Rural King representative John Leonauskas Vice President of Marketing for Rural King reported that there was to be a panel of management members put together to solve any issues within 72 hours of initial contact with customers who were experiencing problems.

The E-Bates program that only pays out in-store credit had customers not receiving their due credit because of improperly filling out E-Bate claim forms. If the claim form receipt number doesn't match the actual store receipt that is included in the claim, the entire claim is denied leaving the customer in the dark about the status of their E-Bate. This has caused Rural King's BBB rating to be a disappointing F+.
