There has been discussion of this on dpreview too. Some people
are getting rebates, other (who claim that they have followed
the instructions) aren't getting rebates. Some people have had
trouble with the rebate forms from B&H (which differed slightly
from the forms on Pentax's web site), others have gotten their
rebate using the B&H form. It is all part of the general rebate
scam.
I am awaiting the rebate (or denial thereof) for my D FA 50. I
did not supply them with my email address. It will be
interesting to see if they deny the rebate for that reason.
I was once with a health insurance company that would routinely
deny claims, even claims that they were required to pay. When I
would challenge the denial, they would pay up. The strategy is
that some people won't read the policy, so won't know that they
are entitled to be paid, while others will just passively accept
the denial. At the next opportunity I switched to an HMO.
