Street Price Special on Lenses: No Mail-in Rebates Required


If you didn’t take advantage of last month’s mail-in rebates on lenses: we have a few street price specials on lenses for the next three days only. No mail-in rebates are required to take advantage of these excellent street prices.

Street Price Ordering Cutoff for Mail-in and Instant Rebates is Friday


We have received many questions from readers, “how late can I place a street price order and take advantage of the mail-in or instant rebates?”

There are currently two Canon rebate programs running, one is a Canon mail-in rebate on brand new lenses, and the other is an instant rebate on bodies (5D Mark III, 7D Mark II, 6D). They are both scheduled to expire on March 28th (unless they’re renewed or extended by Canon.)

We recommend that the street price order be confirmed (e.g. replying to our response and confirming that you’d like to order) no later than Friday at Noon ET to ensure you can order during the rebate period. This is because the rebate rules require you to make your purchase on or before Saturday, March 28th. However, many camera stores do close on Saturdays and close early on Fridays. Also, during working hours, it can take an hour or two to get you through the street price process.

The lens mail-in rebate does not need to be mailed to Canon until April 28th, so you can receive your package next week and still participate in the rebate.

(Our apologies: we’ve had a few site issues tonight with double-counting mail-in and instant rebates; also, some retailers jumped the gun and lowered their price early, while the mail-in rebate was still active. We think everything is sorted out now, please let us know if there still are discrepancies.)
