Thanks for letting me know.

Let's say if I buy a 20D camera and a 17-40 f4 lens, how much rebate do I get? Is it $200 + $50 = $250?
 
That's how I read it but I haven't looked thru all the fine print yet.

Bad news, no wait I gave up on the 24-105 and went with the 17-85. If the 24-105 could be had for $900 I would feel screwed. I guess I am lucky there is no rebate although there should be.
 
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this the first time an EF-S lens has been eligible for rebate? Too bad I already bought it with no rebate.

Seems that's how it goes. Actually you can buy one more item and get extra $100 from 20D and $25 from 17-40 plus triple rebate from the new item. Essentially get the 3rd one for free if you can find one that costs around $150.

OK, can someone check my math for me? If I buy an eligible camera and four lenses, it looks to me as if I get the triple amount for each one – am I reading that correctly?

For illustrative purposes, suppose I buy an EOS 20D and four lenses – an EF 50 1.4, an EF 17-40 4 L, an EF 70-200 2.8 L, and an EF 100-400 4.5-5.6 L IS. The triple rebate amounts for each are $300, $45, $75, $120, and $150, respectively. Does this mean that I get the sum of all of these: $300 + $45 + $75 + $120 + $150 = $690 ? Seems like I must be misinterpreting the provisions of the rebate!

Also, what does the “U” suffix mean, after the lens model numbers?

Inquiring minds, etc.

Thanks,

Dave
 
As far as I can tell, you are correct! I would guess that the U is for USM.

My pleaseure. I was looking up the price of a lens on Amazon and they had a link to rebates.

Figures I just bought the 17-40L & 50MM 1.4 3 weeks ago and both qualify if I had bought them after Qct. 15th! $80 in rebates missed

The story of my life!

Oh well at least I have the lenes!

Kind of strange for Amazon to have this info on their website. If the rebate starts 10/15 do they expect anyone to place orders between now and 10/15?

I agree. I bet it was an error at amazon and the page will disappear soon and reappear on Oct. 15.

hmm. i just bought three and all three are on the list. :(

then again two i really wanted before a vacation, so I can't really be like DOH! and the third I got such a mess of coupons deal (that is no longer running), so I can't be upset either. although it does hurt to miss the triple coupons. agh.

there is still one there I have been eyeing though....

wish they had larger rebates though, they really aren't that much considering the price of lenses, only like 5% or so. Although if buy three then it does start getting better....
 
the 70-300 IS USM lens only has a $15 rebate, otherwise I'll be so angry with myself for ordering the lens early. :b
