Important - MUST READ
You can only get one instant-rebate discount per order, but you can place as many individual orders as you like. For example, if you want to get five of these for each one of your grandchildren for $240 per camera, you have to place five different orders with one camera each. This can actually be a plus if you are planning to have Buy.com mail the items to different addresses. This suggestion to place multiple individual orders is coming from Buy.com itself!

Buy.com is a marketplace like Amazon. Be sure to check who the actual seller of a product is. If it is not Buy.com itself, be sure to investigate any sellers you may have not heard of before. Just like Amazon, Buy.com has some well-known (Adorama, OneCall) and some iffy (Don Wiss list) third-party sellers.

This instant rebate promotion only applies to items sold and shipped by Buy.com itself, not third-party sellers.
