gave up on rebates

I waited till after April 15th no rebates. ordered 30d 24-105L IS,70-200 f/2.8L IS and grip keeping 300d and 28-135 Is as backup

Me too! I got tired of waiting, even threaten to get a Nikon and still no rebate. Bastards!

Have you checked the status of your rebate? You can do so here. "click to check rebate". Not that it will help all that much. Last sprint I qualified for four rebates. One came without prodding; two needed a lot of work to get them to send it. I actually had to talk to someone and suggest that we three party in B&H and ask B&H why they are selling gray market cameras. The offer was declined and the rebate check eventually came. The fourth however is gone. It’s coming up to a year and it changes state every once in a while but I am writing it off, it was only for $15.

I think they're talking about the rumored next round of Canon rebates that was supposed to have started on April 1.

Whoops!!! That makes more sense.

Nice purchase. All you need now is an EF-S 10-22 and you are set for just about anything. That 70-200 2.8 IS is fantastic, but look out, it's heavy. Unless you NEED the 2.8 I would have opted for the f/4 IS. With the money you saved you could have picked up a 10-22.

i just recently re'cd mine a few weeks ago ... i send it in around begining of feb .. it will take up to or over 2 months

Be careful going through your junk mail. I got an email saying that my rebate had been accepted, then I got a postcard that said my rebate didn't fall into the rebate time frame. I called the number on the card and they corrected the error. I got my check about 2 weeks later.

If I hadn't accidentaly found that card I'm sure I would have never seen the rebate. Then they could say they told me they weren't sending it.
