I bought a Metz 48 AF-1 from Amazon and sent in the $20 rebate last week. Today I got the rebate in the mail. One week and a few days, pretty nice.

I noticed on the US Bogen web site thet there are other rebates. As I had a really good experience with this rebate, I think I'm up for more.

Does the rebate form go directly to bogen or to a clearinghouse company?

I have no real clue, but the rebate is sent to the same address listed as the distributor's address, so maybe. The check was hand signed, which I thought was pretty interesting.

I'm going to have to start watching the site more often, I missed the rebate on the Kata bags they were offering.

Thank you

Sounds like they're doing it directly, which is cool. The main reason rebates usually are terrible is the horrible companies used to implement them.

Was the rebate in the box when it came to you, or did you have to print it online? Amazon mentioned the rebate, but it was not with the packing list when it arrived.

Downloaded and printed. You can get the pdf here.

There were two bar codes on the Metz product box Amazon sent me, I cut both out and attached both to the rebate.

Thank you
