Reminder: Mail-in Rebate Submission Deadline in One Week

A reminder: if you bought a camera or lens during the mail-in rebate period ended July 5th, your deadline for submitting the rebate is coming up — August 2nd.

If you bought a printer during the mail-in rebate period ended June 30th, the deadline is even sooner, July 30th.

The number one reason why people don’t get their rebate is: they forget to submit it! Please don’t let it happen to you.

If you’ve already submitted but haven’t heard back yet, now might also be a good time to check your rebate status. Most rebates are paid out in three weeks or less. It was also possible to refund the AMEX card to a check or ACH to a bank account. (Can anyone who has done this recently please confirm?) For that tip and more you can check out our write-up last year on tips & tricks for the mail-in rebate.


If you purchase something through a link on our site, we may get a small share of the sale (at no cost to you). Please read our disclosure for more info.

    I purchased my (2) lenses Black Friday 2013, pre-submit the mail rebates, then mailed in the UPC & form. Received my $500 Amex GC within a month

    It was a while back but you guys had told us about a rebate for pocketwizards
    that were erroneously on sale via amazon. Could you tell me what website I could check the status of that on please?

    I sent in a rebate for the Adorama Pixma PRO-100 on 9 Jul and received the AMEX card today (a little over 2 weeks). Called AMEX and can confirm they still allow you to have it “refunded” back to your bank account.
