Canon USA just launched a new promotion: from October 11th 2015 through January 9th 2016, when you purchase selected Canon bodies or lenses from a Canon USA authorized dealer, you receive a free “CarePAK PLUS“, which is a special new extended warranty covering accidental damage:
- 13-month warranty coverage, including coverage from accidental damage, drops, spills, or wear and tear
- Free return shipping (to and from Canon USA repair facility)
- No lemon guarantee — if the item is repaired 3 times for the same issue, you receive a new product
We’re glad to see Canon USA offering additional incentives for purchasing directly from Canon USA authorized dealers (previously the free Adobe Creative Cloud, now this free extended warranty.)
