Canon Rebate Program Offers Hundreds of Dollars in Rebates, And A Chance To Win A Trip To The Pro Bowl In Hawaii To Shoot On The Sidelines
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Nov. 1, 2004 — Football games, tailgate parties, and parking lot pick-up games are all great opportunities for consumers to capture their memories with a quality digital camera system. Canon's Cash In With Canon Rebate Program returns this year from Oct. 15, 2004 to Jan. 31, 2005 with double and triple rebates on popular products. Additionally, every rebate claim received by January 4, 2005 earns a chance to win the Canon Fantasy Photographer Sweepstakes.
Canon is offering mail-in rebates from $15 to $50 for select EF lenses and a $100 mail-in rebate for the EOS Digital Rebel. Purchasing two eligible products doubles the rebate amount for both products, while purchasing three or more eligible products triples the rebate amount for all eligible products.* Additionally, Canon is offering rebates on select EX-series Speedlites and all IS (Image Stabilizer) Binoculars. These items are not eligible for double or triple rebates.
"The Cash in With Canon Rebate Program makes the speed and precision of SLR photography even more affordable to consumers," stated Yukiaki Hashimoto, senior vice president and general manager of the consumer imaging group at Canon U.S.A., Inc., a subsidiary of Canon Inc. (NYSE CAJ). "We feel that this type of rebate program expands the variety of photographic possibilities for amateur photographers while keeping their experiences affordable."
Any rebate claim submitted by January 4, 2005 will be automatically entered into the Canon Fantasy Photographer Sweepstakes. The grand prize is a trip for four to the NFL Pro Bowl in Hawaii, and the opportunity to shoot on the sidelines with the pros and a brand new EOS 20D digital SLR camera.
