Nikon Instant Rebates return with a big bang: 24-70 and 70-200 f2.8 zooms join the party (D7000 gets both f2.8 and APS-C discounts)
Great news on the Nikon supply front. The Instant Rebates for the f2.8 lenses have returned for the first time since the Natural Disasters of 2011 while the instant rebates for APS-C lenses continue. At the intersection of the two sits the Nikon D7000, eligible for both sets of discounts. Details follow, along with examples if you are not familiar with how these work...

DISCOUNTS NOT WORKING?
If you are following the steps and you have the correct items in your shopping cart, and they are all sold and shipped by Amazon (not by 3rd-party or marketplace sellers) and they are brand new (not used or refurbished) and you are still not getting the discounts please let me know in the comments or using the online contact form.
The most common user errors are these:
1) not having the correct items and in the correct quantities
2) some of the items are offered by someone other than Amazon itself
3) there might be multiple listings for the same item, some of the listings created by 3rd-parties instead of Amazon. You must buy the one sold and shipped by Amazon itself
