Nikon Rebates

[Geoff Marland]

Has anyone any experience with Maxwell and rebates?

I'm been waiting a month now for my rebate on the D70 and haven't heard anything? Is it too early to chase them up?

[johndec]

Get comfortable Geoff, the waiting hasn't even begun

I posted mine 16/12/04 and received it 2/3/05

[boxerboy]

I sent mine around 14/1 and am still waiting

There's lots about the timeframe in this thread

[Geoff Marland]

Makes very interesting reading - looks like I'll just have to wait it out.

Thanks for all the responses.

And in the meantime Geoff start thinking about which gear beckons for the $200 + start posting and show us some images. Then by the time the $$$ arrives you'll be able to partake of the Bargains section

Sent in my rebate request on 17/02, and received the cheque in around 2 weeks. Quite impressed with them.

The D70 + 18-70mm & 70-300m ended up costing just under $1600; so I'm happy... All I need now is to find some $$$ for the SB-800!

To summarise, it's a lottery. It may be 3 weeks or 3 months. From what I've heard they just grab a handfull every so often and post them out. In my case the cheque was dated 12/2/05 but I didn't receive it until 2/3/05. I guess my envelope didn't get drawn out in the daily lucky dip

I hope that Nikon eventually realise that Maxwell are inept and replace this pathetic rabble by cancelling their agency and establish a direct presence in this country. Maxwell have managed to turn a photographic icon into an also ran in this country....

Rant over, I feel bettter now

Isent my claim in mid January, made a call to Maxwells late Feb and recieved my cheque this week. The cheque was dated about 3 weeks ago, just after I made the phone call?
Make a call, it mite help speed things up.

Maxwell got the cheques signed but they have to wait for clear funds available in their account prior to send those cheques out, my guess

[tasadam]

I put my claim in via the online option in the first week of January. They replied within a week to say the claim was approved and a cheque would be posted within 2 to 4 weeks. It took less than 4 weeks, I was happy.

No harm in asking I say.

[Alex]

Took about 3 weeks for mine, but I did call to chase it up.

Cheers

Well I finally received my cheque today, nearly six weeks to the day that I faxed the claim off.

The cheque was dated 22nd March.

Now all I have to do is decide how to spend it.

[stormygirl]

I had no problems with my Nikon rebate. Did the online option, they sent an email a few days later to say it had been approved, and I got the cheque 4 weeks later, which was yesterday!

The $200 goes towards the "camera fund".

[Alex]

I did the online option too but I didn't get an e-mail and called them after a 2 week wait. After that the rebate arrived in 3 days.
