Have you recently purchased a Canon product that has a rebate? If so and if you have sent it in and received a check, just hold off on cashing that check. According to reports, the bank that is handling the rebate checks have filed for bankruptcy, meaning that those checks you have right now could possibly bounce. This apparently only applies to US customers who have filed the rebate for video and printer products dated prior to November 14th.
Canon issued the following statement regarding this matter and said “The third-party rebate processing company that implements Canon’s rebate program covering printer and camcorder products filed a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy petition on Friday, November 14. Any customer who has received a rebate check for these products dated prior to November 14, should not cash the check as it may bounce. Canon is diligently working on steps to ensure that eligible consumers receive valid rebate checks as soon as possible. More information will be available on our Web site by Friday, November 21.
We understand this is an inconvenience to customers. We are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Consumers who have questions about our rebate programs should call Canon’s Customer Call Center 1-800-OK- CANON.”
We will post more information as it becomes available.
