January 2015 Canon Rebate Offer via B&H Purchase

[filmboy]

I purchased a Canon 70-200mm lens from B&H in January 2015. I'm certain that a Canon rebate was offered, not an American Express rewards card. This past summer, I purchased a Canon 5D Mark lll and both were offered; I received a check from Canon in addition to an AMX rewards card.

For my recent lens purchase, a Canon rebate was again offered, however this time, the rebate form that I received post-purchase only offered an AMX rewards card! So B&H used the same terminology, but switched it's terms without notice. I called them, and they said that most people understand that 'rebates' are now rewards cards.

I took great exception to this, and told B&H that it was their responsibility to describe exactly what kind of rebate one is receiving upfront.

Has anyone else had this problem?

This is what all canon rebates are. They are clearly noted on the canon rebate form which you can view on canon or b&h' site before buying. Take some personal responsibility read what you are buying if you are going to spend $2000 on something.
