Canon PRIVILEGE PURCHASE PROGRAM


Hi all, the camera for trade in must be faulty right?? Did anyone trade in one that isn't faulty but just an old one?

Just walk in, take a ticket for repair and when it's your turn, request for PPP. They will ask you which camera you want.
 

Hey guys thanks for the prompt reply!! Just want to ask, the percentage of "discount" they give for new cameras under the PPP, what is the least?? because my canon camera is quite a old model (more than 3 years back)..

If you have been reading the thread, the discount is fixed and doesn't matter what camera you trade in.
 

i'm waiting for 1000D to be included in the PPP... will it?? or will not just like 1000D...?
 

1000D unlikely. It's an old model already. Anyw those who are wondering about the condition of their cams to trade in,
I was at canon last week. Brought in my ixus 55 to trade in. Told them I wanna participate for PPP. counter stuff just ask me for my particulars and ask what was the problem. After I told him and offered to show him, he said it's fine. He didn't even bother to check. It seems that they really close both eyes on that. so not to worry.

My encounter, they didn't even ask what's wrong, just asked which camera I wanted. :D

Anyway I traded in a IXUS Z50 film camera for 600D body.

how much did u pay for it?
 

It's a standard rate. Read through the thread especially page 12 for all prices.

just wanna update only, as my friend was charged with lesser discount...
 

When did you friend get the 600D? I got it on 11 April 2011.

he got it in late march... he told me he paid around $10 plus minus more than he expected...

Either this is a first or your friend remembered wrongly. The pricelist of page 12 was some time in mid March and when I traded in, it was 5th April 2011 (already stated the price), and paid on 11th April 2011. Totally no change in price. I traded in a bare Year 2000 film camera w/o batteries or whatsoever but that doesn't matter coz based on everyone's account, the discount rate is the same regardless of camera (no one has tried using a 1Ds MIII yet though).

Hope he really remember wrongly... need to check with him again...
 

Can anyone tell me roughly how long it takes for your new camera to be made available for collection?
