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.




eBay Daily Deal: EOS 6D (Import) for $1399 at GetItDigital


Today’s eBay Daily Deal is from Get It Digital via eBay. They have the Canon EOS 6D for $1399.99. Note they’re not an authorized dealer, but are a reputable unauthorized dealer. They also clearly note that this is an import model; a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed, so the store is providing a three-year store warranty.

If you’re not interested in import model / grey market, you can also consider the street price of $1499 after rebate (US model, US warranty) from an authorized dealer. BuyDig also has this price after-rebate as part of a PIXMA PRO-100 printer bundle.

Alternatively, you can now add PIXMA PRO-100 printers to some of our street prices too! The printer is effectively free after rebate.

(Before you could do one rebate per retailer.) If you did a rebate in the period ended June 30th you are still eligible for this one.
