<p><strong>*UPDATE*

</strong>It seems the glitch has been corrected by Adorama and it no longer calculates the same way for me.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Save more than you thought?

</strong>I’ve been told and shown that Adorama is actually tripling rebates when you buy a qualifying camera body with a <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/2012/04/new-rebates-starting-april-29-until-june-2/" target="_blank">qualifying lens</a>.</p>
<p><strong>For Example (When Bought Together)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.adorama.com/ICA5DM3.html?kbid=64393" target="_blank">Canon EOS 5D Mark III $3499</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.adorama.com/CA85122AFU.html?kbid=64393" target="_blank">Canon EF 85 f/1.2L II $1749</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Total: $5248</strong></p>
<p>Stay with me know, here are the discounts that have been applied to the above order.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.adorama.com/CA85122AFU.html?kbid=64393" target="_blank">Canon EF 85 f/1.2L II</a> regular price is $2199, when you search it on the site it is listed at $150 off at $2049. When you bundle it with the <a href="http://www.adorama.com/ICA5DM3.html?kbid=64393" target="_blank">5D Mark III</a> Adorama takes another $300 off. So the savings on the Canon EF 85 f/1.2L II is $450 when the rebate program is actually for $300 off of $2199.</p>

Does anybody know what is going on with the Adorama Canon triple rebate bundle? It appears that when you bundle the camera with a lens, you're now only getting 1.5X rebate on the lens as opposed to double 2X. An example is the 5D mk3 coupled with the 70-200 f/2.8 L IS ll. The lens retails for $2499 - 200 (lens only) another 200 for coupling it with the 5D mk3, should equal 2099 (if it's a double rebate). But they are charging 2199 now (only 1.5X rebate) while B&H is selling the same lens for 2099 (2X double the rebate). That's $100 less than Adorama.

Guess they have to make up the losses from their "glitch" ;)

Right now..it doesn't appear that they are doubling the rebate now if buying a camera and lens....
