UPDATE: Deal is now dead. This got quickly picked up by major deal sites and Canon was flooded with orders. Looks like Canon has disabled the two “other” coupon codes. I wouldn’t be surprised if cancellations are coming next.
UPDATE 2: It looks like almost all orders are being shipped!
One of our readers reported that the Canon Direct Store is allowing multiple coupons to be stacked together to make an overwhelmingly incredible 38% discount.
This is resulting in some incredible deals (see above). See our refurbished stock tracker to see what’s in-stock.
Use the following 3 coupons in cart, one after another:
- PUMPKIN2014 for 20% Off
- GHOST2014 for 15% Off
- BOO2014 for 10% Off
- Together, this makes a 38% discount.
Since this is likely a price mistake, your order might get cancelled. However, the last time they had a similar mistake, the infamous LUCKY sale in March, our readers reported that all orders did ship.
That’s awesome. When should we expect a restock of refurb 600EX-RTs?
Likely not before they fix this bug…
I am currently trying this and it is not working for the 6D.
Does not work on the EOS 6D or 5D Mark III.
That’s just my luck. Of course the one thing I want in the world, a 6D, isn’t heavily discounted!
I’m getting “Error:Your request cannot be completed. Please contact the store administrator.” when submitting the order
It’s working for some people — 13 70Ds were bought in the last 10 minutes. I must admit that I bought some stuff too, before posting this. 🙂
Trying it on the 430EX and the 24-105 not working still 🙁 you lucky folks who can get your order through…
Well, I ordered a lens of which there were 3 when I added it to my cart & started the checkout. At the end of the order which it accepted, it showed an item count of 1 & also said it was Out of Stock. So, not sure if putting it in my cart got me 1 of the 3 or if I was too slow. Of course, this all assumes that they don’t cancel the order. 😉
Well, my CC got charged, so presumably I did get the order in in time. Now we wait. 😉
Was it the 24mm?
No, the 50mm f/2.5 compact macro. For the cost, it’s worth taking a chance on using it when our 100mm f/2.8 macro is too long of a lens
My order just shipped
And Canon just sent a shipment notice. Yeah!!
Would have been a great time to get a good camera body if we’d needed one. 🙂
And…. 10,000 people just crashed our site 🙁
I definitely wasn’t expecting that.
Quick post the codes here! lol I saw them, but dont remember
I had it up on my phone still. 20% Pumpkin2014, 15% Ghost2014, 10% BOO2014.
and we’re back!
They are case sensitive have to be all uppercase.
The site is still not up. It says error connecting to database !
Site is refusing my payment – anyone else having this problem?
had a tough time with that combined payment thing. I re-visited the page and my order got through
Nope, site doesn’t like my card. Hate living overseas.
Thank you for the email notification! Finally got my 24mm 2.8 🙂
Is the 18-135mm STM worth the extra $180?
Just ordered a refurb 24-105 for $596!!! Hope it sticks!!!
I wish there was something good left!
I am kicking myself. I purchased a 70D Refurbed earlier with the PUMPKIN2014 code. Still a good deal, I guess. I did just order the 10-22MM using that code setup, though! Thanks.
You aren’t alone. I bought a 70D under that same deal. I suppose I could try ordering another and returning the first if the new transaction goes through. I think I will just keep the 70D I got and say “That’s life.” I bought another 430EX. Don’t need it, but couldn’t pass it up for $146.
I got two 70d’s like an hr and a half ago, with this deal and got the email confirmation of the order. Hope they dont cancel!
I was able to order & they’ve already charged my card. I best get my lens!
Orders are not completing. I get the following error when I attempt to purchase the EF 40 Pancake lens.
“Error:Your request cannot be completed. Please contact the store administrator.”
I was able to place an order for a 60D, and yep, the codes are case sensitive. We’ll see!
I was not able to order from my iphone, I had to do it from my desktop.
I was able to get a 70D just fine! Also used Mr. Rebates for 3% additional and used my discover card which is doing 5% currently. My total with tax is like $585. Awesome deal.
We’ll see if they send me a 70D for $628. It says the order went through…
Looks like your dream bag.
Got Speedlite 430EX II for $146.87. Thanks a lot! 🙂
Free 2 day shipping OCT2DAY.
Thanks — I put that in the post.
I didnt see this code until after i ordered! do you know where canon ships from? If they charge tax that means they have location in your state right?
Canon charges tax to all States (except the tax-free ones, e.g. DE, NH, OR).
This is amazing, but after tax is applied the 24-105L combined with the 6D at the CPW street price is only about $1 less expensive than buying the 6D kit at street price. Really goes to show you how amazing the street prices are!
I was going to get the 24-105L in anticipation of buying a 6D eventually, but after I did the math, I’d rather just buy it all at once and get a new 24-105 as opposed to refurbished. Nothing against refurbished lenses, I’ve bought several and have never had a problem, but why not get new if it only costs $1 more?
Should have waited a little longer. I went too quickly with the PUMPKIN deal 🙁
Just bought a 40/2.8 by using the three coupons before CPW crashed. I am interested in 50L, 85L, 50/1.4, 1.4III, but they are gone sooooo far 🙁
Yeah, that crash was unfortunate. This site has grown way too fast. Time for a new server…
Couldn’t resist the Speedlite 430EX II for $150, that’s an unreal price. I’m almost always a natural light photographer, but for that price, I can’t not have this good of a flash around.
Also, my order went through the first time with all the codes, including free 2 day shipping, applied. Fingers crossed that it doesn’t get cancelled.
Just successfully placed an order for the SL1. We’ll see if it holds up. Great deal for ~$300. With my 40mm f2.8 pancake, it’ll be my lightweight walkaround rig.
Thanks for the heads up, CPW.
This is sweet!! Just ordered a 60D for $377 after tax. Already got a confirmation email from Canon. Thanks for looking out for us CPW!!
Naseer Sayyad 7D for great price if you want to upgrade
What is the offer
Was getting 7d body for 580 refurbished from Canon with 1yr warranty. Deal expired now
dead! can’t stack anymore 🙁
got a bunch of lenses at great discount. lets see if they don’t cancel the order. fingers crossed
Won’t take more than one from me
Same…
Yes, i hope they honor the order i did like an hour ago! great price for the 70D, i got two of them!
Deal is dead and there ends the madness. 🙂 Good Night gotta catch some sleep now. THanks CPW for alerting on this deal.
It seems that not only is the deal dead, but the entire Canon Direct store is down as well.
CPW, why do some comments show like 2 or 3am on 10/30?, its 11:30pm 10/29 central or 12:30am 10/30 eastern, so what time zone are you in??
I’m in the Eastern Time zone (the post times are ET). It’s a bit of a glitch: comments are synced from our Facebook page. Those comments are coming in with a GMT timezone. One day I will get around to fixing this 🙂
I already have a 70D that I bought used (2 months old) for $850 back in March. The warranty will be expiring in January. I’ve also been wanting the 18-135 STM for video so I picked up the refurb 70D + 18-135 for $811 total! I’m going to sell my used 70D (hopefully for around what I paid for the refurb kit) and basically net the lens and another years worth of warranty. Actually, since I used my credit card, the warranty is doubled 🙂 Assuming they honor the deal that is 🙂
The only thing I wanted wasn’t in stock anyway (70-200 2.8 IS II).
Well, if they cancel, they cancel. No big deal for me. Can’t get upset if companies don’t honor pricing errors. It’s usually in the fine print somewhere on their site anyway.
As always, great work CPW! Just my 2c though. On surface, the bodies seem like good deal but you can get brand new 70D and pro-100 printer plus a bundle accessories for $800 after rebate. The printer worth at least $150 and the bundle for at least $50. If there are some good L lenses left then it’d be a great deal.
Looks like the earliest people to order did get their orders “allocated” … we wait to see if they will ship.
My order currently says “Inventory Fulfilled”… Hopefully that is a good sign, but I am not sure what that means in Canon terms… 🙂
Still no shipment confirmation, but nothing saying my order was cancelled either. I checked out as a guest so I can’t check my order status on the Canon website.
Yeah, I did the same thing and ordered as a guest. I can’t figure out how to check my order either. I got a confirmation email last night and they have already started a pending transaction on my credit card, but that’s all I know.
Yep, it’s pending on my credit card and still no word of it being cancelled. Fingers are still crossed that this is a good sign!
So has anyone heard if this deal went through. Last check of the 70D I ordered showed inventory full filled.
Got an email from Canon. My order was just cancelled.
What did you order and when?
Ordered quite a few lenses for friends primarily. 50 1.8, 40, 15-85, 70-300, a few flashes… Order confirmation email was at 11.32pm EST in my inbox.
Could be cancelled cause I did not do one or two…
My suspicion is confirmed – because I ordered a few items on my order Canon is treating it as a bulk order for shipping purpose. I am waiting for its approval. My shipping charges will be different.
Seems like they will honor their prices.
Well I ordered a 70D as a guest but after I confirmed my payment info and placed the order I signed up. I see my order says inventory fulfilled. Still no shipment email or tracking number. Also still no email saying it has been cancelled either though.
My confirmation was sent at 8:57 pm CST
Mine still says “Inventory Fulfilled” and no cancel emails yet. I ordered a 60D at 9:45 pm central time.
I ordered a 70D body at 10:18 PM central time yesterday for $587.03 + tax with free shipping using all of the published codes. I just got a shipment confirmation from Canon including a tracking number, so it looks like it went through!
just got email from Canon that my order is ready to ship with tracking number.
Just got an email, my speedlite 430EX II has shipped with all discounts applied.
Same here.
40/2.8 order shipped
Ordered a nifty fifty. Shipped notification just now.
Speedlite 430EX II shipped.
I missed out because I was at work. I got home at 12:30am, and it was too late. 🙁 I cried like a little girl.
oh no..I hear you. :-). I know its disappointing when you miss the deals like this.
Still waiting for shipping confirmation – however I did notice that my “free ground shipping” costs $15.99 on the invoice…
It’s actually taken off in the discount if you do the math it shouldn’t have cost you anything.
My 24-105 shipped! Thanks CPW!!!
My order status still struck up in “Order received and ready for processing”. 🙁
I ordered the EF 50mm f/1.8 II. The order shipped and will be here Monday with all the discounts applied. Thanks!
Order of EF-S 60mm macro shipped with all the discounts applied. Love Canon and thank Price Watch for the quick heads up.n
Just received shipping email on my 70D. I thank you CPW but my wife does not LOL
I guess I just get no luck from Canon. No update on my order yet for the 70D. This will be the second order they cancel. First was the 17-55mm 2.8 lens.
Did they send cancelation email of 17-55?! Did you order it last night?!
Has any received cancellation mails from canon so far?!
I order the 17-55 on the 27th. Did not get a cancellation email It just disappear from my order and they only ship me the photo paper for free.
You can reach Canon customer service with your order number. They might give you correct information on your order.
Ordered shipped. Notification from Fedex about a pending delivery from Canon, so I guess my SL1 is on the way.
I’m happy to report my 60D shipped with all discounts!! Thanks CPW!!
Yep, my 70D just shipped!!! So happy!
Just saw my 60D has been shipped, now I have a better back up for my 6D than my old Rebel. Can’t beat 38% off, thank you CPW!
Just received a shipping confirmation from Canon with all the discounts applied. Thanks CPW (and Canon) for a great deal on a 15-85! If I didn’t already have a 70D, I would have gotten that too!
Just to let you all know, ive tried every other type of Halloween name I cant think of incase it was a discount too LOL. SPOOKY2014 NIGHT2014 GOBLIN2014. none of them work :)…I think there will be another sale soon. that 6D would look good in my backpack
🙂
I wonder if Canon didn’t do something like this intentionally. It creates buzz and goodwill for the brand, and it allows Canon to blow out some inventory without seeming to cave in on pricing.
Canon’s a pretty big company, and they have a large team of professionals running their website. Mistakes like this have to get past a lot of people. Also, usually if a mistake like this is made, it is noticed very quickly and shut down, far quicker than it was in this case.
Either way, I’m glad a lot of people were made happy, and I bet that Canon still made a nice profit and benefited from clearing out some inventory.
Interesting thoughts…
In case your order was cancelled, please go to bbb.org to file a complaint – false advertisement, or sale scam. Hopefully Canon will learn something for not honoring what they promised.
That would 1. not actually resolve your issue because mistakes are almost never honored and 2. put in place new checks to prevent this from ever happening again… so it would be a poor choice for both the goal of getting your order honored as well as for maybe catching a deal like this again.
It looks like almost all orders are being honored (except for the one order where someone tried to order 8 70Ds). So this may be a moot point. 🙂
Thanks CPW for saving so much money last night. 🙂 My order status still struck up in “Order received and ready for processing”. 🙁 I ordered for the 70D body. Hoping they will fulfill my order tomorrow morning.
I ordered last night, got an e-mail confirmation of my order. There is a pending charge on my credit card.
When I log in to my account, there is nothing on my order history. It’s simply blank. No pending, no cancellation. It’s just blank.
Hope it goes through.
CPW,
Do you think I should call customer service?
Still nothing on my account and no follow up e-mail.
Nevermind. Just got the confirmation e-mail that it is shipping.
Yeah!!
Just wanted to report that my 430EX shipped. I’m amazed that Canon is honoring just about all of our orders. Too bad there wasn’t more stuff in stock that I wanted.
Congrats everyone — this was a beyond incredible deal. Glad we could have helped 🙂
My order just arrived! I got a 70D, 24-105, and T3i kit at the full triple discount (38% off refurb prices). I can’t believe it didn’t get canceled. This is definitely the craziest deal I’ve gotten from Canon direct. Thanks CPW!
Yeah, $293 before tax for an SL1 is awesome. That’s a compact P&S price range. I think the M kit will be finding a new home.
Thanks again, CPW.
ts-e finally shipped,
thanks CPW!
Got my SL1 today. I was a bit worried at first because the box said Powershot on it. But it had the full SL1 kit inside, so all is well. The camera looks brand new, just like all the Canon Store refurbs. And I’m fairly impressed so far with the SL1’s image quality. For a $300 camera, it’s no slouch.
