7D and 5DMKII discount coupon at DVinfo.net

Ray Bell · October 13th, 2009, 04:23 AM

For those looking to purchase a new Canon camera... here's you $50 towards a 7D or 5DMKII.

I think you can also google a 10% discount for Best Buy if you want to go that route and
use the Canon discount. Not a bad deal...

enjoy

ah, i dont think i ever registered my 5dmk2, so i cant use this rebate. I just picked up a 7d with the 10% off, though.

Thanks as always, Ray, but I would like to point out that this is a rebate, not a coupon (in other words, it's not a time-of-purchase discount). Personally I won't do rebates unless they're "instant," which this is not. Your mileage may vary, of course.

I agree with you, Chris. I've had bad experiences with mail-in rebates before. They count on the fact that many people forget about them. I had one on a new phone from a cell phone company (the one with the really rotten customer service) that I never did get. They should be instant or made illegal. I think lots of them are scams.

Agree that they should be instant. But, I have cashed in on $$$ of rebates over the years. The secret is following the instructions exactly and for any mail in rebate over $50 I send it certified mail with signature required. I have had this process challanged two times and won each time.

thanks... nothing like saving some money.

Why don't you guys want free money?

Pay me now or pay me in 6 weeks, either way is good with me!

Interesting that a lot of rebates come in the form of a credit card!

Nice find. Hey $50 is $50 ... less printing and postage. With all the money we could be sinking into lenses why not?

They make you jump through hoops to get them - with all the paperwork and cutting barcodes from the boxes ... please!!
But to me the big offense is when online stores use them as bait - the biggest culprit is MacMall. I used rebates on free shipping with them three times and not once did they work - not a dime back.
