B&H now say "YES!"
 

Hey, Brian, Ram, Craig, and Gil: Looks like the message finally made its way up to the front lines at B&H. Here's my correspondence with them June 10-11:
_____________________________________________
Dear B&H,
I raced into your 9th Avenue store a couple weeks ago and very quickly purchased a JVC 24/ HDV Camcorder, the HD100UA. Today I read that there is a special offer out there from JVC giving away Anton-Bauer Power Packs to purchasers of this camera during May and June. I think I am eligible for this. Here where I saw the announcement...

Can you let me know about this?
Many thanks,
Scott

Thank you,
Your B&H Team

KEWL!!
You can find the .pdf like this:
1. Go to bhphoto.com
2. In the search window enter "GY-HD100UA"
3. At the top of the list is the camera, and it says "rebate available" under the price. Click on "rebate available" and you get the .pdf.
You can use this even if you did not buy your camera at B&H.

I just read that this form has to be at jvc on June 31st. I just bought my hd100s yesterday at bh and I have them by June 23 rd. The form asks for the serial number which I am guessing is only possible if I have the camera in my possession.

Does it look like there is enough time to get the rebate form to jvc?

I guess I could have it sent second day air or something like that.
I would be so sad if I missed this offer.

Jonathan,

From what I'm piecing together from this thread, you have nothing to worry about. The period for purchasing the camera ends June 30, but you have until July 31 to mail in the docs that prove you qualify. There is no June 31, so maybe you didn't see it right?

omg, Stephen your a Genius!

AB Promo
 

Just received the AB promo battery & charger. NICE. Thanks AB & JVC. Will post more info after the charge.

I got mine last week. 433 Minutes! I am getting the DR-HD100 mount and adapter so it can power that as well.

I just got the Dionic 90 batt I ordered with my camera. Tapeworks was on backorder, but got them in just after they shipped my cam. Sooo... take this as a positive sign that they are doing a better job at staying on top.

I also have to say, these are some huge batteries. If you are unfamiliar with these types of power cells, you are in for a surprise!

I'm drooling already. So how long does it take to get the cells?

I got this one in about a week. However, I'm still waiting to get the kit from the promo, this one is a spare.

For those of you waiting till the last moment to purchase the GYHD100UA to take advantage of the A/B Power Promo, please remember that product must be shipped and invoiced by this Friday, June 30th!!!

Please contact TapeWorks Texas Inc toll free 866-827-3489 if you have any questions pertaining to this promotion.

What Luck!
 

I bought my JVC a few weeks ago and didn't even know about the promo but B&H Photo (the vendor) sent all the needed paperwork. They say to alow 6-8 weeks but mine came in one week. I was shocked.
There is no way to seriously use this camera with the stock batteries. I had been using my Bescor lead-acid belt with a 12v to 7.5v down converter. That gave me about 4 and a half hours which is still a good option, it's just heavy.

Got mine today, too. This battery isn't big! (at least not for an Anton Bauer). The Dionic 90 is easily the smallest and lightest AB battery I now own. Seriously, the Pro Pacs are twice the size. I am looking forward to the better performance that the Dionic technology provides. Since I had already bought the AB adapter, the one that came with this kit is a spare. With just those two tiny screws holding the adapter to the camera, I'm a bit concerned about the durability of this thing. So, I think I'm going to hold onto the second for safekeeping.

Mine showed up today, while I was out, of course. And of course, the wife couldn't get to the door in time... I'll be here tomorrow, waiting to pounce!

That poor UPS guy didn't know what hit him. That door was open, and I was in his face before he took his finger off the doorbell! I'm mildly disappointed though, the charger only does one batt at a time?

Yes, the Titan 70 is a charger and AC power supply that has a single position. That disappointment better be pretty mild... I don't know how you can be disappointed in a $1200 value gift, personally. That's a pretty good return on the cost of a postage stamp.
