Rebates; Miami Boat Show Sale

Postby jimh » Sat Feb 18, 2017 4:17 pm

ICOM Winter Boat Show Promotion

ICOM USA have announced a series of promotions under the banner of Winter Boat Show Savings. The promotions apply to new ICOM radios purchased from authorized ICOM dealers between January 1, 2017 and March 31, 2017. The promotions provide a rebate (which ICOM calls a "coupon savings") in varying amounts depending on which ICOM radio product is purchased.

REBATE by MODEL
M35 = $30
M93D = $30
M400BB = $50
M506 (all models) = $100.

ICOM authorized dealers are listed in search results from this web page form:
http://www.icomamerica.com/en/dealers/dealers.aspx

The "coupon savings" or rebate form provides more details. It is available at

http://www.icomamerica.com/en/promotions/marine/2017Promotions/winter-boat-show-savings/WinterBoatShowSavingsMIR.pdf

The ICOM M506 radio with hailer is available is several models, listed below in order of increasing MAP price.

--M506-01, DSC radio with front microphone, NMEA-0183; MAP price $400

--M506-11, DSC radio with front microphone, NMEA-0183, and NMEA-2000; MAP price $500

--M506-31, DSC radio with rear microphone, NMEA-0183, and NMEA-2000; MAP price $550

--M506-21, DSC radio with front microphne, NMEA-0183, NMEA-2000, and an AIS receiver; MAP price $600

--M506-41, DSC radio with rear microphone, NMEA-018, NMEA-2000, and an AIS receiver; MAP price $650

MIAMI BOAT SHOW SALE

An authorized dealer, DEFENDER.COM, is presently holding a Miami Boat Show sale on these radios at less than the minimum advertised price good only until February 21, 2017 at 8 a.m. . You have to select the radio to be in your on-line shopping cart to see the discounted price. Here is an example:

A possible popular choice in the M506 line (for me) would be a radio with NMEA-0183, NMEA-2000, AIS receiver, and front microphone. That is the model designation M506-21, with a MAP price of $600. The DEFENDER.COM Miami Boat Show Sale price in your the shopping cart is $489.24. Apply the "coupon saving" of $100, assuming you meet all the requirements of the promotional offer, results in a final cost for the ICOM M506-21 radio of $389.24. That is a very substantial savings off the MAP price of $600; the final cost represents a reduction in price from the MAP price of $210.75, or a discount of 35-percent off MAP price.

For this particular model as listed at DEFENDER.COM see

I have done business with DEFENDER.COM in the past and found them to be a good on-line seller. I was introduced to them by a friend who had a great interest in always finding the best deal on anything related to boating, and he touted DEFENDER.COM to me. I have not been disappointed in any item I have purchased there regarding the price charged being about as low as can be found. The reduced price shown above is a limited time offer good only until February 21, 2017 at 8 a.m., thus only a few days remain to take advantage of this offer.

STANDARD-HORIZON 2017 GEAR UP FOR SUMMER REBATE SAVE $20 TO $40

Standard-Horizon presently have a promotion that offers a rebate on purchases of certain models of their radios made between January 1, 2017 and July 31, 2017. The offer is valid only in the USA and Canada. The schedule of rebate by model is shown below:

HX100 = $20
HX150 = $20
HX290 = $20
HX300 = $20
GX1300 = $30
GX1600 = $30
GX1700 = $40
GX2200 = $40
HX870 = $40

More details are given on the rebate form:
http://www.standardhorizon.com/pdf/2017_Gear_Up_for_Summer_rebate.pdf

A radio of interest to me is the model GX2200, a radio with front microphone, NMEA-0183, integral GNSS receiver, and an AIS receiver. The MAP price is $400. Using DEFENDER.COM, again, I see the GX2200 is presently on sale at a reduced price, only $332.50, a savings of $67.60. Subtracting the additional $40 rebate makes the total cost of the GX2200 about $292.50, a reduction from the MAP price of $107.50 and a discount of 27-percent.

I really like the GX2200 radio. The price online at The GPS Store is $300 before the $40 rebate, along with free shipping and no sales tax to my home state.
