UPDATE:<\/b><\/span> As of noon October 3rd, Amazon.com was added to the Canon rebate official retailers list. Someone’s listening to us \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Another update to the Canon mail-in rebate saga<\/a>: although the rebate form<\/a> suggests all authorized dealers are eligible, the official list of participating retailers<\/a> was published and one popular retailer — Amazon — is not on the list.<\/p>\n

We’re surprised to see Amazon<\/b><\/a> is missing from the participating retailers list (thanks goes to CPW reader Brian who noticed this). However, Amazon is still advertising<\/a> the rebate as available. We tried to pre-submit a rebate claim and were unable to select Amazon as the retailer.<\/p>\n

The latest update regarding Best Buy<\/b><\/a> is: they’re still on the list (as “BEST BUY COMPANY INC”). We’ve asked Canon’s rebate hotline to clarify several times, and each time we’re told that any retailer on the list is eligible for the rebate. At this time we think they’ll be eligible for the instant rebate (but of course, we cannot be certain). Because of the double-dip, this is probably the best current deal out of all the stores.<\/p>\n

Other retailers we checked were B&H<\/b><\/a>, Adorama<\/b><\/a>, or BuyDig<\/b><\/a>. They’re all on the list (BuyDig is well disguised “BEACH TRADING CO INC”). All three stores are offering a 4% reward. BuyDig<\/a>‘s reward is instantly applied during checkout. Adorama<\/a> is also offering a free UV filter kit for all lenses, and occasionally a free tripod or memory card.<\/p>\n
