+Team Cache Quest Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I'm trying to fill out the rebate form for my 60CSx and it asks for an 8 digit serial number. The only number I can find on my unit is a 9 digit number which is found under the batteries. Am I looking in the wrong place? I don't see any other numbers. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
shivia Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Remove your batteries. The s/n is sticked on the plastic under the batteries. Quote Link to comment
+Team Cache Quest Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 Yes, I found that number but it is 9 digits. Garmin manual as well as rebate form refer to an 8 digit serial number. Did they expand the number of digits and just not update the manual or form? This seems like a stupid question, but I don't want to have problems getting my rebate with a serial number that is one digit too long. Remove your batteries. The s/n is sticked on the plastic under the batteries. Quote Link to comment

The s/n is sticked on the plastic under the batteries. The serial number on my 60 CSx (4 months old) is 8 digits, and is the only sticker in the battery compartment. 8-digits, all numerals, followed by "can 210" Perhaps they increased to nine-digit s/#.

+glens911 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Mine also has 9 numbers and I emailed Garmin about it. This is the Reply: Hi If your unit has a nine digit serial number please add an extra box to the rebate coupon. Thank you KRISTEN SCHNEIDER Rebate Clerk Garmin International 1200 E. 151st St. Olathe, KS 66062 FAX 913-440-8866 (please include a cover page Attn Kristen Schneider) Please visit our website at www.garmin.com (all of our current rebates are posted on our website) PS-Please include all email correspondence already written when you reply to this email so that it can be answered in a timely manner.

+pdxmarathonman Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 They must be selling more of these than they anticipated when they generated the rebate form! Not a bad problem to have. Quote Link to comment
bkrownd Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 They must be selling more of these than they anticipated when they generated the rebate form! Not a bad problem to have. That's exactly what Garmin customer service said. 9 digits is correct, just add a box to the rebate form and the page in your user manual. Quote Link to comment
+cache_r_joe Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Mine is the same. I had to add another number onto the rebate form. My rebate was accepted and "the check is in the mail". Does take quite some time for the check to be issued and updated on the web site, but according to the web site my check has been issued. With my luck it will get stuck in customs for a month....LOL Joe Quote Link to comment

+pdxmarathonman Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 (edited) I love these types of forums. I had the exact same question, joined up, did a search, and now my question is answered. Thanks everybody! That's great that you searched first. It seems like a lot of people don't search first and end up waiting up to 30 minutes before someone here posts the answer These forums really are remarkable with the amount of timely and accurate information provided!
