Sig Voucher

[Crampa]

I read on another forum that some of the new Sigs are only coming with one magazine (like mine). Sig is placing a voucher in the box that can be sent back to them to receive another magazine. Has anyone done this. Because I didn't see a voucher in my box.

Sounds like a backdoor approach at registering the weapon with the manufacturer?

Sounds like a cost cutting venture to me. How many folks do you suppose fail to return the voucher?

Call Sig and ask: 603-772-2302.

Not at all, this is the same thing as a mail in rebate on a cell phone or any other product. The majority of the time people do not send these rebates in, so if the majority of people don't send them in bc they forget to do so in the allotted time period or just get lazy and don't do it tons of money can be saved.

No. OP is correct. The following is a link to a post from Top Gun Supply on Sigforum explaining what is going on:

New Sigs Coming w/one Magazine Due to Shortage - Topic

If you get a gun without a voucher, go back to the dealer. It's all good. This will enable SIG to stay on top of shipping their firearms out, without having to wait for magazines to ship. As far as them hoping nobody redeems them, good point...however, these magazines usually tend to be 40 to 50 bucks a piece. I'm sure most customers will go out of their way to redeem these vouchers. It's not like getting a Menards $3.00 rebate.

There's little downside to this for SIG:

1. If people do not return vouchers, they save money.
2. If someone does return a voucher, they get the customer's information.

Some downsides are that SIG runs the risk of looking like a bunch of cheapskates and/or tarnishing the image of their guns. I mean, what guns typically come with 1 magazine? Usually "value" handguns or lower end models.

They may also lose some sales. Why hassle with the process of getting another mag and providing your info to the mfg, when you can just buy a different handgun that comes with 2 or 3 mags - no strings attached?

I used to work at AT&T, cell phone mail in rebates are between $50-$150. You wouldnt believe the amount of people that dont send those rebates in. I wasnt talking about $3 rebates from menards or things like that.

There is a possability that the dealer is pulling vochers out of the Sig boxes, using his customers name and then the address of the shop.

Paranoid you say??? It could be done, most large corporations could easily mail out mags to the same address with different names and it would never be caught.

Big win for the dealer, as he is getting all these "free" Sig mags to sell in his shop.

I bought a Sig P938 at Gander Mt last month. One magazine no voucher.
Was I duped?

Maybe...It could also be employees that know about the program and taking the voucher out of the box.

Or someone at Sig forgot to insert them in the box.

I'll bet that if you called sig, let them know about your situation, they would probably tell you if your purchase should have included a voucher. If so let them know where you bought it, and go back to where you bought it and let them know.

I just got off the phone with Sig. The guy in customer service said they only come with one mag and no certificate.

Sounds like the bad ole days of 1994 - 95. So many dealers were pulling the hi-caps from new guns that Para Ordinance included 10 rd mags and a mail in coupon for two hi-caps. Today I see blue label Glocks with one mags. The hi-cap mags were driving the gun prices. Today, be sure to ask about included mags.

Do you think the same with Ruger's petition to your local politicians?

You do have to provide your address after all and how many non gun owners are going to sign it?

 

[commonality]

First ammo shortage... now magazines...

Yes I did and still do... and I am okay with that. I was simply making an observation about the situation.

With the Ruger petition there was no information about firearms or anything one may have once owned. I would even be okay with sending in the voucher for the Magazine... I'm not bothered by it at all.

Good point. Though I would suggest to members that if ya catch any dealer doing that with ANY voucher / rebate / coupon, they turn that dealer in immediately as there's stiff penalties for perpetrating that fraud.

Turned in a local gas station years ago for doing just exactly that with cigarette coupons. He got whacked hard enough he had to close the station. Gee... that's too bad.
