maureen_m Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 (This follows up <a href="http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch- msg?msg_id=00ArNa">"Another rebate question"</a> by John Teklinsky last week.)<P>Update: Another week gone by (now 3 weeks since <i>Confirmed</i> Post Office delivery), the Rebate Inquiry status webpage still shows no update. Another call to the rebate center got more of the same old, same old.<p>Me: "What good is a step-by- step rebate status page if it is only updated every 4 weeks? <p>Rebate Center: "We're sorry, you'll have to ask Canon."<P>Contacted Canon, and:<br>Canon: "We're sorry, you'll have to ask the rebate center."<p><i>sigh...</i> These people should have government jobs.<p>Anyone else care to vent their frustrations, so others will know they are not alone?

jtek Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Hi Maureen, Today is five (5) week's for me since mine was mailed. Checked mine this morning and still nothing. Patience is our only option. After the Jan. 21, postings I was kicking myself for not sending in my rebate with a Delivery Confirmation. But now it seems that it really doesn't matter one way or the other. So I'll be looking for any new "Rebate Updates" listed on this fourm, and will update any new developments related to mine. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maureen_m Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 Thanks John!<p>On a related note, as of today, the Tamron rebate I mailed on the same day as the Canon rebate has been received, processed, approved, mailed, and the check is already in my hands! Funny, this is the one I thought would be more "iffy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokkor fan Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Just checked mine - my $425 rebate is apparently only $65 as they claim I hadn't included some UPCs. That is absolute bull s*#t. I am furious, to say the least, as I deliberately spent more than I had planned, knowing that the rebate would come back in. Lesson - Never trust a rebate offer.

eric merrill Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Ouch. Sorry to hear of your misfortune, RF. I treat rebates as a pleasant surprise. Don't make purchasing decisions based on them. If and when I get them, it's like found money. I would certainly complain up the ladder to Canon if I were you, though. There's no excuse for treating customers like this.
