I bought this viewfinder Dec 22nd, 2012 because of the $80 rebate; as today I have not received anything. How long does it take to get this rebate?

I'm also on the wait list. They got my hopes up, giving me a Jan. 19 delivery date, then changed it to "we don't know when it will ship." I might try the local camera shops. I don't mind paying sales tax, but I'm not going to pay an extra $1,600.

I am in the same boat. I preordered on 9/17 and have heard nothing back from Amazon, except an email on 10/17 asking me if I still wanted the camera. I have called them twice and the customer service representatives are worse than useless. They have no more information than what is available on the website.

I contacted them aswell and they told me they would Contact me within 48 hours and they didn't. At first they told me to try the rebate then they told me not to and to wait. I don't like having $150 in limbo. Also now they changed the rebate information on the link page for the rebate to say July 3, 2006 even though the rebate expires June 3, 2006.

When I ordered mine it was $259 with the $50 rebate. I tracked it since around Thanksgiving. I think I missed a very narrow window where it was even $5 or so less. It does change a lot. I add stuff like this I want to track to my cart and just wait for what seems like the right moment/price.

I had no problem getting the rebate. It took a long time to get it but I did recieve it. I am not sure why people are having a problem with it unless they didn't follow the directions.

They denied mine. I mailed in my stuff a few weeks ago as I had a death in the family to deal with last month(but still within the allowed time) and they said I missed the postmark date. According to the rebate form I had until April 9th, 2011 for that postmark and they entered it yesterday Mar. 7th and I was late? Even though I got a good deal on the player this does sour me a bit on Panasonic.

Yeah, I went to buy this yesterday, having put the D300 and the 16-85 lens in my cart on Friday. Now the rebate is gone. What gives?

I sent off for the rebate and never received it. I bought it on August 18, it was shipped on Aug 25th and I sent off for the rebate on Sept 2. It is now November and I haven't received the check in the mail yet. I probably never will it seems.

Going back through Amazon orders it looks like I got mine in April of 2013, and I did not have any registration problems.Also looking at the order it say Sold by Mel Pierce Camera, I don't know if that is the same as who is selling it here. Hope this helps. And remember since it is through Amazon, if it turns out not to have a USA Warranty you can always send it back for free. Hope this helped. Bob

The promotion is a few weeks old. So it will take a few more weeks for people to start getting their rebates. I'm hoping everything works out, else I'm out $55. =/

I contacted Customer Service. The June 3 date is correct... the rebate is NOT in effect.I doubt they're intentionally trying to trick us; it's probably just a mistake. But, I contacted customer service, and they clearly know about it, so let's see how long it takes them to fix it...

I have been waiting for about six weeks. It sounds like an awesome camera, but I am about to cancel my order. I can't seem to get any answers.

That is awesome! I called almost 2 years ago complaining about this problem and they basically wanted to sell me an upgrade for a $100 discount - terrible! Will be sending my camera back asap. Has anyone sent it back already and gotten a replacement? Would love to hear your story!

I purchased these a while ago and received the rebate. I don't know if it is still available. Even without the rebate I would buy these binoculars.
