2008 $250 Rebate?
 

Hello!

I am wondering if anyone has any insight into if/when the $250 rebate for the A1 will start again. It stopped 12/31/2007.

A project has come up and I would like to buy an A1.

Thanks!

Ryan

Sold Gl2 Looking for A1
 

Ryan,

Just Talked with Tom @ Zotzdigital. Price $3400, comes with camera bag, and UV Filter. He said, " You never know what Canon will do next month”. It almost sounded like a rebate is in the works.

President Bush is giving a rebate so I guess I will go ahead and place my order with Zotzdigital. Heehehe

yeah i jumped on the 07 rebate. the check came fast. hope it comes around for you. BTW, I had heard stories of denied rebates, so I copied everything, stapled all the pieces together and sent certified mail. I suggest you do the same.

The price right now at B&H is $3299.95 down from $3499.95 without a rebate

Hey guys newbie here. Saw this which might be what you're looking for...

This will probably sound like a dumb question but how do some of these places post prices on the Canon XH A1 that are so low? I called and they said that the lens isn't included in the purchase only the camera body......Then I called Canon and they say the lens is permanently attached and if you take off the lens you have broken the camera. Whatever I'm totally confused. I have purchased before from B&H and most likely will again but I'm trying to save a few $$$'s. Any advice is appreciated. Peace.

Hmmm...jr.com??? Looks like somebody is playing with Photoshop on that rebate page.

You will not find a legitimate dealer who is more than a hundred bucks or so under B&H on this camera. Nobody can sell the camera for less money than it cost them to buy it. Both Zotz Digital and Tapeworks Texas had a free bag offer, and that's worth around $150. The XH A1 is already the cheapest thing on the market in its class at under $3500. If that's too much for you, consider a less expensive, SD camera--don't buy from one of those scam places.

Canon USA Site promotions has the XH A1 listed as expired. Buy from a DVi sponser, and you will be pleased:)

Thanks guys. I'll be saving my pennies to buy the Canon XH A1. Guess that rebate form is not valid....what's this world coming to? Peace....

Found this

looks like it's complete.....

I called Canon and they verified they have no official Canon rebates on this model at this time. She said dealers can have their own rebates, but that link to J&R didn't have any dealer restrictions. What's strange is if you search the J&R site for the XH-A1, there is no reference to a rebate.

I searched the site too....I was trying to find how I came across that rebate and if I do I'll let you know...I know I was looking around at prices and just saved the rebate form and not the site...I'm cussing at myself

It Is Hard!!!!!!
 

Ira,
I know that it’s hard, but do lots of research on the store before you buy!!
Read, read and read (reviews), if they try to pressure sale you, stay away. I bought my Canon GL2 from B&H after a month of reading. B&H was not the lowest price, but I knew that I was going to get a new GL2 and all the pieces. Also, I would call the place and see if you can get a real person quickly. Case in point: I emailed zotzdigital and received a quote in a short time. Then they called me to see if I had any questions. Same with Texas Tape Works Inc, They are there to help you.

Rob, yes you are right I know....I have tried calling these other stores and the customer service is outrageous to say the least! I will be buying from a reputable dealer probably B&H.....thanks for the input I really do appreciate it. I'm about a week away from buying. As far as the rebate form I posted, I found it listed here

I can't find anywhere that it says you have to buy it at this site...I also don't know if it is a valid rebate or not. It would be great if it is....peace y'all
