I finally jumped on the Canon 70D wagon yesterday using this method.
I just thought I'd share this in case anyone is looking for a 70D (body only) deal at the moment. Unfortunately the deal ends tomorrow.
- Canon have a $150 cash rebate.
- Cheapest local "store" price I could find (body only): $1,132 (Digital camera warehouse).
- JB Hifi have a 5% off in store coupon until Sunday 14th of September (just sign up for their instant deals on their webpage and they will send an email containing a coupon) https://www.jbhifi.com.au
Went down to JB, got them to price match to Digital Camera House. At the checkout, hand over the coupon for an extra 5% discount. This was $70.75.
$1,132
-$150
-70.75=
$911.25 for a local body with local warranty (please note that you'll have redeem the $150 direct with Canon and you'll have to wait up to 30 days for Canon to EFT the payment to you).
I think the JB Hifi 5% discount was calculated on the original JB price ($1,415) rather than the price matched value.
I hope this helps someone.
Darn, I didn't know about the 5% coupon and just bought my D7100 on Thursday…
