Canon’s Customer Loyalty program

[Maru]

Hi Guys

I've heard about Canon’s Customer Loyalty program. How does it work! If I call them and explain my current camera situation {bought from Canon Store 8yrs Ago} do they provide extra discount! Do anyone have any experience on how to approach

Thanks
Maru

Never heard of that but there are CPS discounts on some items

They work by giving you a small discount on a new camera or camera lens combination, 5-15%, something like that. I've used it at least twice when the discount was 20%.

Basically, you give them the model and serial number of your broken camera. They then offer a discount on the new one, that includes refurbished ones. They send you a prepaid return box or envelope for the old one. When I did it, it had the address of a recycle place. Once, they told me to just trash it.

I used to pickup broken old cheapo rebel SLR's at garage sales for a dollar. Then, when I wanted a camera, I called with the serial number of one. I have a couple of them around I think. The discount is not significant now. I get 10% off thru my employee discount plan, or a sales tax rebate from B&H which is about the same.

Call them and ask. I've heard that they are offering a bit higher discounts than they were 5 years ago when I stopped using the program.

BTW, don't expect that the R5 or R6 will be included. If it is, that would be a big change from their past practices.

I just called 1 (866) 443-8002 for the Loyalty Program today. The R5 and R6 are not eligible for the discount since they are so new.
For other cameras, like the EOS-R, the discount is 20% for new cameras and 10% for refurbished cameras.
