I laughed when I got my card. "Sorry, here's 22 bucks towards another one of our products, hopefully one that won't suck!"
Thanks for the help!Look at the settlement forms, you have 3 options to choose from. If you don't have a receipt, they list MSRP value for year and model that they will refund back to you.
Had anybody returned one of the milsurp 553 units or heard of anybody returning one? They don't have it listed on the price sheet.

Ok. Thanks for the info. I'm tempted to return mine, but it is milsurp and learned after i bought it that there was some controversy around whether they were ever supposed to have been sold to the public.I returned both of my Eotechs to the company for their voluntary recall last year. One of them was a 553 in fde. It wasn't a surplus unit but sold commercially. I couldn't remember what I paid and no longer had the receipt as it was purchased back in 2008 or so. I put down the msrp of what they were currently selling for. However, I did have the case and manuals. Sent my request to Eotech for the 553 and the EXPS and got approval. No request for receipts.

I purchased it - i believe it was from lawguns.comIf you paid for it, I can't see how they could deny it. If it was "acquired", like some milsurp items are, it may not be worth trying for the refund. However, from the Eotech website, after you submit the info to them, you have to wait for them to "approve" of the return. I'm not sure about some of the law firms or whatever getting involved and what they might require.
What is funny/sad is that resellers like OpticsPlanet and others still sell them for the same price as before. Should be a lot cheaper, say the NCStar level?
If you like the reticle you should look at Vortex's new holographic sight. It looks similar.Are the newer ones any better? I have one that shit the bed and won't turn on, but I like the reticle. Just wondering if getting a refund and getting a newer different model is worth it or not
Need opinion ... I still own 2 Eotechs. Should I return or keep them?
I just emailed Fostersettlement.com to find out few thing. On their site, one can file a claim online and if you are requesting a refund they provide a P.O. Box in Philthadeltphia to ship to. Very little information what to include. The question for them is:
a. What information to provide with the package?
b. How do you track package and status of claim?
c. How do they determine the model and amount of MSRP? The online claim form only asks for serial number.
d. What if they lose or mishandle the equipment, or send a refund to a wrong address/someone else.
It seems there are a lot of unknowns.... I will keep you posted if they reply.
I kept mine. It is on my 9mm AR pistol range toy. I don't plan on taking it to war with extreme temperatures. I don't see the point; it works fine.
