Pentax K-5 Special: Buy one and get 1 year of site supporter status!

Adam · 03-17-2012, 01:13 PM

Are you exempt from sales tax? You can probably get it refunded when you do your return then. In any case, this deal is for online orders only, so yes, you could also have it shipped to someone in nj.

And if I bought it with this deal am I able to also buy the drop/spill warrantee with it? You wonder why they just didn't let us print out a rebate form to bring in!

Adam · 03-18-2012, 08:57 PM

Yup, you can buy anything else you'd like also

It's definitely a good idea to get the 2-year warranty, though the wear-and-tear protection that comes with the third-party ones is nice as well.

I followed the instructions, clicked on the provided link(s) when I just ordered my K-5 from B&H (with the added bonus of the $200 price drop!). How long should I expect it to take for my site status to change?

K-5 ordered!

Just went to B&H and bought one for $999. I couldn't dope out what the special site access was or its benefits.

FYI, even though the price has gone up, this deal is still there

**kwar** · 04-02-2012, 09:38 AM

Mine just shipped.

**jerryleejr** · 04-03-2012, 06:49 AM

Hey Adam, where do we check to see if our order was successful using the link?

Adam · 04-03-2012, 11:26 AM

See this thread for the instructions, it's a manual process: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/forum-suggestions-news-help/111032-need-m...supporter.html

**jerryleejr** · 04-03-2012, 11:37 AM

If that was directed at me, I understand all that however B & h is showing that my order came thru the Pentax forum. just confused as to why I haven't received site supporter status.

You need to PM me with your order number to get the upgrade, 24 business-day hours or more after it ships.

Adam · 06-04-2012, 02:39 PM

FYI the 1-year offer has ended, but you can still get the regular month of access. Unstuck.
