PS: while trying to figure out which href link I mistyped, I changed some of the timestamps of today’s posts while troubleshooting. There is no method to the madness, just live troubleshooting. Side-effects of handwritten HTML and bursts of posts I’m afraid 🙂

PS2: if you missed yesterday’s burst of posts, many of them are already on Page #2. Or you can check them by date, eg the August 11 posts. You can find ready-made links to the first five pages under the HOME button on the leftmost side of the main menu. And you can find the Calendar widget (to check posts by specific day) towards the middle of the right sidebar.

Canon Pixma Printer Savings and/or more savings with Camera purchase (with Mail-In Rebates (prepaid AMEX Gift Card))

One of the B&H Photo headliner deals for the Photo Shop World 2015 is a Canon Pixma Printer savings promotion. You must needs enter coupon code PSWBH15 for these promotions to activate and use this B&H link that activates the promotion.

There are two ways to go about this. One is to buy the printers on their own straight up. They have a $250 mail-in rebate offer, bringing the printers down to $50 after MIR for the Pixma-100, $250 after MIR for the Pixma-10 and $450 after MIR for the Pixma-1.

The other option is to buy one of the printers along with one of the camera kits listed on the promotional page. This qualifies for an additional $350 mail-in rebate (on the combined purchase of a printer and camera). Some items may also come with promotional rewards or other freebies which are independent of this promotion.

The mail-in rebates are in the form of a prepaid American Express Gift Card (not a cashable check). The coupons expire 8/16/15. Here’s the B&H banner summarizing this offer:

canon_pixma_bh_photoshop_world_2015_mail_in_rebates

PS: in case you are not familiar with these, you either get the $250 MIR if you buy a printer on its own or a $350 MIR if you buy a printer together with a digital camera. The table in the PDF rebate form (can be found on all the eligible product pages at B&H) makes it clear. The additional discounts above are from the B&H coupon and special promotion.
