LENS REWARD

What is considered to be an acceptable proof of purchase?

SHOP PURCHASES: For in-store purchases Canon requires a copy of your receipt showing payment and the necessary product name information. The receipt must include the product purchased, the price you paid, the name of the retailer and the date of purchase.

WEBSITE PURCHASES: For online purchases Canon requires a copy of your order confirmation and the necessary product serial number information. The order confirmation must include the product purchased, the price you paid, the name of the retailer and the date of purchase.

What formats can be used for uploading documents as part of the registration process and are there any size restrictions?

Please note your file should not be larger than 4 MB. You can upload the common standard JPG, TIF and PDF formats only. A photograph taken of the receipt or on-line order confirmation with a smartphone is acceptable if all claim information is clearly visible.

Where can I locate my product’s serial number?

The exact positioning of Canon serial numbers can differ from product to product. Please consult the following useful link to determine the general positioning of Canons serial codes for your specific product. In general Canon serial numbers will be listed both on the product itself and also on the accompanying product box.

Please DO NOT confuse the serial number with the EAN/Barcode shown here:

EAN/Barcode - NOT the product serial number
The above photo represents the EAN/Barcode, which usually resides on the side of the product box, this is NOT the product serial number that you are required to submit to validate your claim.

Is it possible for me to apply for this promotion by post instead of online?

The option to apply for this promotion is online only. If you are experiencing any difficulties, please call 0800 044 3251

I have ordered a Canon product within the dates specified for the promotion but it will not arrive / be delivered by the retailer until after the valid promotional dates have passed – can I still apply for this cashback promotion?

Please keep the order confirmation you have (which will be in the promotional dates) and send together with your Invoice when you fill in the application. There is a grace period of one month, after the last purchase date allowed, so you would be able to supply your documents.

Do I have to live in the UK or Ireland to participate in this particular cashback promotion?

You need to be resident in the EU. So, if your current address is outside of the EU, however you are resident in this area and hold a valid bank account there, you can still apply. Please, note the products need to be purchased in UK/ROI as well.

I have noticed that some other Canon countries are holding different promotions for different products – why does Canon offer different promotions on different products in different countries?

Sometimes other countries run different Canon promotions as they may be better suited to their own local customers or markets.

I was unaware of this promotion and I purchased a product a few weeks before / after the specified promotion dates. Can Canon make an exception and authorise a cashback for my purchase?

We apologise that you have had this experience; however, you can apply for the promotion only if your product is purchased within the dates stipulated in the Terms and Conditions.

How can I track the progress of my claim?

Within 2 days of registering your claim you will receive an e-mail containing login details: a unique user name and password to access the site.

You can quickly check the status of your claim here and enter your claim reference number (this is on the top right of the confirmation email sent to you which you would have received when you submitted your claim).

On the tracking website it says my claim is being processed, what does this mean?

Once you receive an e-mail confirming your claim has been validated (up to 10 days after registering) it will be sent for payment. It can take up to 28 days from validation before your bank receives payment (although it most instances it is sooner). NOTE: it can take between 3 – 5 for some banks to process the payment and for it to show on your statement.

What do I do if any of my registered account details have changed since my initial registration for a Canon cashback promotion and I wish to update them?

You can update your bank details at any time via the Customer Online Tracking System, using the log in details provided to you after you initially uploaded your claim. This is the most secure way to update personal information. Please note: if it is close to your payment due date you should also contact us by phone on 0800 044 3251 to inform us you will be updating these, so the payment does not go on the old account details on file.

How will I know when payment will be made?

Once your claim has been successfully validated we will begin the payment process and you will receive an email informing you of the expected date by which the payment will be transferred to the bank account details you have provided. NOTE: it can take between 3 – 5 for some banks to process the payment and for it to show on your statement.

Please note that cashback promotion payments will be made in the name of Canon or Interpay Sales Promotions, so your bank details will most likely reflect that name and not Canon.

You can quickly check the status of your claim here by entering your claim reference number.

How will I know if my claim is delayed due to incorrect or missing information?

Upon having successfully registered online for a Canon cashback promotion, you will be sent by email a confirmation of your application containing both your reference number and personalised log-in details for a website on which you can check the status of your claim and its progress to payment.

If you have registered any incorrect information, this will reflect on that site and you will also be sent an email informing you of the information still required. The quickest way for you to provide us with any missing information is by logging in to that website and updating your details.

You can quickly check the status of your claim here and enter your claim reference number (this is on the top right of the confirmation email sent to you which you would have received when you submitted your claim).

If you are experiencing difficulties providing the information via the website you may drop us an e-mail at cashback@claim-lookup.com.

When will I receive my cashback payment?

We aim to make payments within 28 days of the e-mail confirming the validation of your claim – this is not within 28 days of your registration. Once received, cashback applications need to be processed by Canon to ensure that we have all the necessary information to validate your claim and arrange payment. Missing or incorrect information risks delaying the validation and payment so please check that you have provided all the necessary correct information. NOTE: it can take between 3 – 5 for some banks to process the payment and for it to show on your statement.

We want this process to be as smooth as possible, but Canon cannot be held responsible for any retailers / sellers incorrectly advising customers that payments are made within 28 days of the date of purchase.

Please note you can check your claim here anytime with our Claim Tracker, using your unique claim reference number (this is on the top right of the confirmation email sent to you which you would have received when you submitted your claim).

I paid for my product by credit card so why can my payment not simply be refunded back onto that same credit card?

Canon cashback payments can currently only be made by bank transfer from our bank to the personal bank account details that you have provided at the time of registration.

How can you assure me that it is safe for me to enter my bank account details on-line as part of a Canon cashback promotion?
