Full details regarding which products are eligible for each promotion are provided on our website. Any specific product exclusions are also detailed in the promotional Terms & Conditions that are also available from the promotional website. Exclusions include:

  3. Second-hand, refurbished, or reconditioned products, or products which are counterfeit or infringe the intellectual property rights of the Canon group of companies in any way (for example, including but not limited to parallel or “grey” import products).
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 authorize a Travel Reward for my purchase?

We apologize 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.

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 send an email to [email protected].
