Canon Rebates - anyone gotten thiers yet? - 04-02-2006, 02:06 PM


I purchased a DR XT and T2 and 75-200 lens ($190 in rebates) in December and January and sent in the required paperwork in the 2nd week of January. I have checked the rebate website and it says that they rec'd my stuff, but it has been processing for quite a long time.

Has anyone who purchased during this rebate period gotten thier rebates yet? Does it ususally take this long to get it back?

Mine are still sitting there. Based on previous experiences, I called them a couple of weeks ago (7 weeks after mailing them in). I was told it would likely take 4 more weeks and that the "6-8 weeks" printed on the flyer is never accurate.

This is my second battle with them and I'm serioulsy considering calling the attorney general's office for false advertising on the 6-8 weeks actually being more like 10-12 weeks - based on what they actually told me. The last one took about 14 weeks!

I think I mailed mine in just a couple of weeks before the deadline and got my rebate a couple of weeks ago. I guess I've been lucky. It took a little while to show up as received and then stayed in processing for a few weeks.

Got a 200mm f/2.8 and 400mm f/5.6 in November and got my doubled Canon rebate in Jan.

I've never had a problem with any Canon rebate.
