Not morons... crooks. For every denied rebate, they get to keep the money. When dealing with tens of millions of dollars, even 5% adds up big time. It is YA that does it, or their crooks employees who steal the info and submit it for themselves. Figure it out. How can they make money giving a $300 rebate when it costs them an extra $40 in overhead costs to handle the rebates? They save more money giving a $300 rebate than if they just discounted the product to $200 to begin with. Common sense says rebates are not in the consumers best interest. I hope Canon got the word, but since it saves them money, or makes them money, they still don't have enough incentive to be honest with their customers.

yes I am not very impressed with this BS, I guess their plan is to cause as much headache as possible so people give up
I have done lots of rebates on many things and this is the first time I have ever had an issue
I checked on the site they "apparently" mailed me a check for 2 of the rebates but not the third because of the "missing warranty card". Ok so here is the wonderful part they dont tell you which one you did not send them either, simply BS.
I sent an email to canon about this that I am sure will be ignored
