Mail-in rebates are back! Canon USA has started a mail-in rebate on their most popular lenses, valid on purchases from authorized USA dealers. This rebate period runs from Sunday, May 3rd through to Saturday May 30th. This rebate is on top of the already lowered prices from the permanent price drop.

Our street prices below are from Canon USA authorized dealers and valid for the mail-in rebate. Judging from the large amount of interest already, this will be an extremely popular rebate period, featuring some of the lowest street prices we’ve seen yet. Free shipping, and no tax to most states.

Our very popular street price program turns one year old today — we launched it exactly one year ago! It’s been our pleasure to help the Canon photographer community get great deals on brand new Canon equipment from authorized dealers, while providing top-notch customer service.

The program has grown larger and faster than we ever expected. Over the last year we’ve helped over ten thousand readers save money via street price, an average savings of 13% per purchase (vs. the Canon minimum advertised price, or MAP.) In total, we’ve saved our readers hundreds of thousands of dollars.

We’d like to thank you, our readers, for your support and making this street price program a continued success. We’re happy that so many of you have shared the “street price secret” with friends, colleagues, and family. These word-of-mouth referrals, reviews, and purchases give this program an incredible group buying power today. This volume buying power drives down the prices and enables us to negotiate the best deals.

We’re looking forward to many more years of great deals, as we continue to expand and improve our street price offerings. If you haven’t tried street price yet, perhaps this is the year to start?
