K-x in-box rebate coupon?

justDIY · 01-16-2010, 09:40 PM

Fellow new K-x owners, have any of you used the included "Save Up to 15%" rebate coupon? More specifically, have you used it with online retailers, and had it honored by Pentax?

For example, the 70mm 2.4 Limited has an MSRP of 699.95 but is on sale "online" for much less than that. The rebate coupon offers an additional $100 rebate. Is Pentax honoring the lower than msrp price as valid for the rebate? Fine print on the coupon doesn't say anything about needing to purchase from specific retailers.

Pentax has a pretty long history of using rebates in various forms with both their camera bodies and lenses. I've redeemed several in the past without issue - as long as you document them properly, the price you pay is irrelevant so long as they are a pentax authorized US dealer you will be fine. If you aren't sure about a particular retailer post the name here and someone can probably tell if they are (any of the large internet ones are, i.e. Adorama, BHphoto, Amazon, Beachcamera to name a few). Oh, and welcome, hope you are enjoying the new camera!
