Rebates have been so full of surprises lately. We posted earlier in the week that the new lens rebates were only going to be on the smaller set of the most popular lenses, have reduced rebate values, and require the simultaneous purchase of a body. (This was based on info that we’d seen earlier in the week, confirmed by multiple sources.)
We got two out of three right — the change is: there’s no requirement to purchase a body to get the lens rebates. The lens rebates values are indeed smaller by $50-$100, and available on fewer lenses. It was more advantageous to purchase in January (good call if you did), but a small rebate is better than no rebate!
The PIXMA PRO-100 rebate is also significantly reduced (now $250 for a bundle instead of $350). This has a new promotion id, 8191332, so you are eligible for this rebate even if you purchased the same item in the previous rebate.

Do you foresee any rebates or price reductions on the 7D2 ??
I’m sure it’ll show up in a rebate sometime; as for when, I do not know. My guess would be late spring at the earliest, possibly not until fall.
Our street price is currently $1639.
Don’t waste your time with rebates and refurbs..use the CPW service..saved us over $400 on one lens last November
CPW?
But you still have to submit the rebate when you go with cpw price, right?
In most cases, yes. Sometimes, we have other deals that don’t require a mail-in rebate.
Do you guys know is this rebate Amex cards can be added to PayPal and then the balance transfer to a checking account? I think there was someone here who did it …
I think there were some fees involved on both ends from Paypal. I got my gift cards, called Amex and they are transferring complete balance to my checking account. They said to allow 15 business days. No hassle and took about 10 minutes of phone time. I do have an AMEX credit card but that didn’t enter into any of the discussion, other than to establish my identity. Call their member services # (on website) and go through the phone tree til you talk to an agent. They will either take care of it or transfer you to the right department.
Oh great !!! Even better if they can transfer it to my Amex credit card since that would be the one I’ll be using to make the purchase. Thanks for the tip
i don’t think you can directly transfer the gift card amount to your credit card balance but I may be wrong.
Got mine before the weekend! Brand new, received it in 1.5 business days. Thanks for all that you do, CPW!
