I have been told to expect an instant rebate program on EOS R and RF glass starting in September in both Canada and the United States. I do not know what other countries will have these programs, but I imagine this is going to be a very aggressive Christmas shopping season for many consumer product industries.
The backlog of lens orders should be sorted out by the end of August I have been told by a few retailers, though predicting demand is still a bit precarious.
The rebates won't be huge, but I do expect to see both the EOS R6 and EOS R5 to be included in these rebate programs.

My plan is to kick the 5DIV for the R6 after this season. I hope it will work.

You have to buy a camera for this. And I think "only" 3 lenses for one year or so.
Years ago that was without this constraint. Some (many) lenses had this rebate.
But why not try this approach: First, actually get these lenses in stock. And random drops of a handful of lenses at your own retail website don’t count. Then, worry about everything else.
