Anyone get their free P2 card yet?

more delays....

more delays....

Just talked to panasonic, thought I would inform the group of what the lady on the phone just told me. Apparently I am confirmed and authorized, but since panasonic is out of stock on the 8GB P2 cards they have no clue when I may be receiving my card ARGH! I love the idea of the rebate, but this is extremely frustrating to me, especially with the audit letter I never received, but was expected to submit to. Good thing I called panasonic.
 
I have to say that this whole rebate thing - not just Panasonic's here - but rebates in general drive me batty.

If there is a good example for federal regulation, this is one.

Nikon seems to do a good job, but my experience has been pretty poor with rebates, and I always send delivery confirmation.

It really shouldn't take eight to ten weeks to do something like this.
 
Aww man are yo utelling me i have to hound panasonic to get my card?

HEll i'll go to panasonic in Jersey...... Im getting my card.....
 
uhhhh... I'm setting up to make the jump to the HVX around March and I am also from BK( Brooklyn, NY)- so getting to Panasonic USA physically wouldn't be a problem... I wonder... If i can redeem the P2 by going to Panasonic right after my purchase? It's kinda strange and akward to ask but well worth it if it'll work... Timur (or anyone else who'd try) if you go down to Panasonic over in Jersey, could you send a response on your results for the rest of us locals? if nobody heads over by the time i purchase mine in march, then I will go and let everyone know the result...

I'd be real mad (in tears maybe) if Panny fronted and took 6-8 months instead of 6-8weeks to get the rest of those cards out...

peace and thx,
elijah
 
Panasonic doesn't do the rebate fulfillment, they hired a fulfillment house (I think it's called abcrebate or something like that).
 
Ahh. So if the website says "Fulfillment in process" For all intents and purposes is a good thing then?
 
My guess is that "Fulfillment in Process" is not necessarily a good thing. That's what mine says. My process date is 12/29/2006. As we are leaving for SE Asia next week, I've been on pins and needles waiting for it to arrive. I finally phoned ACB rebate people (phone: 866-339-4296) only to be told what this forum already knows: "We haven't had any P2 Cards for weeks." (You can also email the ACB rebate people at vburks at acbcoop.com. She gave me a number at Panasonic to call: 800-211-7262. I called, Panasonic dutifully took down my information ("an HV what?), and said that someone would get back to me in 24 to 48 hours. Arrrgh.
 
Got 1 of 2 requested...

Got 1 of 2 requested...

Just got one out of two requested. Bought two cameras November last year. Applied and got Mr. Green's book the same month with one of the cameras. It seems strange that now I only received one 8gig card and one book, when I should have received one book and 2 cards, am I right? Or is it that if you applied for the book rebate you're disqualified to apply for the card rebate? Panasonic, pleas enlighten me. Thank you.
 
I'm getting a little frustrated. They said the shipment of cards would be in over a week ago. Word as of 1-30-07 is "not yet".

I emailed Veronica at the rebate center and this is her reply.

"Panasonic is not out of stock, we (the rebate center) is out of stock. We are waiting on a new shipment to arrive from Panasonic. Yours is scheduled to ship as soon as we receive the shipment, which should be within a couple of weeks."
 
oh! come on... everything else and now this?
I can't get pissed about something being given to me... but this is just unbearable... especially the inconvinience of having to be mailed, but not finding out untill you read this thread... and then being told that it said it on the page... it should be specified right on the form where it says this:
"Receive your special offer with the purchase of a Panasonic AG-HVX200 camera. Simply register your camera with the following online form, and your free gift will be shipped to you. Please contact our helpdesk at 866-339-4296 with any questions. "
it is because of this that you don't look
 
It does seem that the entire program is horribly mismanaged. I suspect that the slowly changing rules without notice to the buyer is an attempt to cover the fact that they were not setup up to begin with to deal with the volume of purchases and rebate requests.

I don’t know who has the authority to make changes to the way the program is operating and I hate blame it all on Veronica Burks. I guess that would be the next question. Does anyone know who the buyers can contact above her to see changes made?

[FONT=&quot]USLatinContent – I wouldn’t think of this as “Given to me” as you do. I bought my HVX because of this offer. It’s included in the very high price and not “free”. Free is when someone gives you something for nothing. This is given when you pay a lot of money. Otherwise I completely agree with your statement.

Angry With Panasonic Rebate Center!!!!

Angry With Panasonic Rebate Center!!!!

Here's the status of my rebate. The date requested as panasonic rebate center reads it was 12/22/06. At this same time I MAILED my invoice to Panasonic as per the instructions indicated. Last week, I asked about the status of my P2 card rebate and book. They emailed back and said they never got it and told me to FAX it to them to the number the lady provided in the email. Today, 2/7/07, I get an email reading me this:

We have received your invoice. It will be shipped within 4 to 6 weeks

WHAT?!?! I HAVE ALREADY BEEN WAITING 4-6 WEEKS! Panasonic rebate center online status said that my status was "Fulfillment in process" and still does! Not once did it mention "Awaiting Invoice Arrival" or anything like that! This is poor poor service panasonic! I have already waited 6 weeks for my Rebate! now I have to wait another because YOU didn't get the invoice in the mail??? If you don't HAVE all the pieces WHY are you telling me the FULFILLMENT IS IN PROCESS! OBVIOUSLY YOU AREN'T FULFILLING ANYTHING! And the fact that it was faxed LAST week causes the delay of 4-6 weeks? WTF!!! I'm furious at this!
 
Ah there's nothing like screaming and shouting and complaining when you are getting something for free, but not getting it soon enough.
It kind of reminds me of that thread about those clients that dont want to pay anything, or next to nothing for your services but they expect you to give them the world.
 
Sounds like you are at the SoftCrap breaking point I was in when trying to activate DVrack... I'm not close to it yet, but I will reach my 6 weeks in a couple of days and I expect I will start looking at things at least a little bit like you and Dore from then on

Robotx I bet they just have to say that, and they'll end up mailing it out to you faster than that... I belive they consider how long you've been waiting in total when they figure out who gets theirs first
