$50/$100 rebate on Canon Powershot/Printer combination
You might be aware of the current rebates offered by Canon on DSLRs and Lenses, but you may not be aware of other rebate schemes on Canon Powershot Digicams and many Canon PIXMA/SELPHY printers.
If you buy any Canon Powershot digital camera and any Eligible Canon Printer from Amazon.com (on the same order) by November 27th, you get a $50 rebate. Full details of the offer are described on the rebate form which can be downloaded HERE
The rebate form lists eligible printers as:
- PIXMA iP4300
- PIXMA iP6310D
- PIXMA iP6700D
- PIXMA iP90
- PIXMA mini260
- PIXMA MP160
- PIXMA MP460
- PIXMA MP510
- PIXMA MP530
- PIXMA MP600
- PIXMA MP810
- PIXMA MP830
- PIXMA MP960 Photo-printer or All-in-one
- SELPHY DS810
This can be a pretty good deal and represent a significant discount on some combinations. For example you can get a 5MP Canon Powershot A530 with a 3x optical zoom for under $150, plus a Canon PIXMA iP6310D 6 color photo ink jet printer for under $90. So you'd pay around $240 for the pair before the rebate or $190 after the $50 rebate.
$190 isn't a bad deal for a good starter digital camera and printer combination!
Actually if I was looking for a good low cost digicam I think I'd probably go for the Canon Powershot A540 myself. It's only a few dollars more (around $170), but it has a 6MP sensor, a 2.5" LCD screen and a 4x optical zoom. I think it's definitely worth at least $20 more than the A530.
If you go for the Canon Pixma MP160 "all-in-one" photo printer/scanner you get an additional $20 rebate from Amazon (see rebate form HERE.). The MP160 sells for around $85, so if you buy an A530 and an MP160, you end up paying only about $165 for the pair, after the rebates.
Of course you can buy more expensive digicams and printers too, and still save at least $50 on the pair. Remember that this offer only applies if you buy both items on the same invoice from Amazon.com by November 27th. Please read the rebate form carefully for complete details.
Note that the rebate checks will only be mailed to a US street address (no PO boxes) and the purchase must be from Amazon.com itself (not one of the other vendors who sell through Amazon.com). The rebate is from Amazon.com, not from Canon.
So far, so good
But you can do even better! Canon have a $100 rebate on a limited number of Powershot/Printer combinations. You get a $100 rebate if you buy either a Powershot G7 or a Powershot A640 AND an ip6700D, MP600 or mini260 printer at the same time.
You can download the Canon rebate form HERE. Make sure you read all the details to qualify. Both items must appear on the same sales receipt for example, and as usual, you can't use a PO box as your address.
Since both the Canon and Amazon rebate programs require that you send in the original bar code from the box, unfortunately it doesn't look like you can "double dip" and apply for both rebates on the same two items!
