1. In your browser, type in "bing.com" to come to microsoft's new search engine.

2. In the search box on bing.com> type in "Tiger Direct">press enter.

3. The first search result that pops up reads "tiger direct official site", and next to it is a small orange symbol with the words "Bing Cashback" next to it. CLICK ON IT.

4. Search for Canon 7d.

5. Add to cart. It'll show a cashback amount of 255.00 in your cart from "Bing Cashback"

No orange symbols on step 3. Do I have to be registered on bing.com before doing all this? The 5% value I got without being registered, it asked me to register later, but still displayed 5% off.

I'm sure that's just number they through out there to be safe. Canon says they're shipping at the end of September... Tiger Direct should get a shipment in at that time. At least I'd assume so.

Even if, if you find another one sooner, you can always just cancel the pre-order.
 
I have the 28-135mm on my 5d and like it a lot. Not sure if I'll like it quite as much on the 7d. The 5d has such shallow DOF that I often want to shoot at a 5.6 or slower.

I'm not registered. I just typed it in and it popped up... no idea what's going on with yours. Maybe try another browser??
 
I should add, that for anyone trying to also get the 5% from discover; you will most likely have to call them to add that as you are technically supposed to link through the discover card site to the mercant's site (but doing so in this case wouldnt get you the bing money back), though i forgot to do that once before, and just called discover and they looked it up and saw i used the card for a qualifying store and they added the credit; its not like they know you are already getting money back from microsoft somehow.
 
Worked in MSIE. It is as advertisement section that has been removed by AdBlock in my FF. Thanks!
 
You should consider yourself lucky even if you don't get a bing discount. Up here in Canada they are asking 2900 before sales tax to pre-order a Canon 7d with a 15-85mm lens and 2600.00 with the 18-135. And obviously no discounts in sight. 2100 just for the body alone.

Good thing I pre-ordered from amazon last night. Now all I need to do is find a better deal and grab an address from a friend living in the US so I can snag a bing discount.
 
I just preordered mine from tigerdirect and just like you said 15% off! My delivery date was February 2010! Seems a couple more people preordered. I wonder how many have ordered before me. Couldn't be more than 100 do you think? Anyway I can't believe it. Getting the 7D kit cheaper than the body!
 
Thanks so very much for this! I will end up paying $1650 for the Canon 7D kit! That is literally half of what I thought the price would be. Half the cost of a Canon A1!

I honestly am still in disbelief that it is really a camera that does all of this.
 
Anyone have experience with Bing Cashback? Reading the terms and conditions gives me a headache.

Yeah, I've received over $800 from MS even back when it was live cashback.

Just canceled my amazon order and switched to TD. I've always had good dealing with TD and I don't mind have to wait a little longer if my camera's delivery date is further back. $1446 is just too good to pass up.
 
I now expect everyone to contribute to help paying my tuition this semester for the savings i found haha :)
 
I don't think this works for Canadian users. I don't see the Bing Cashback option when I search bing.com for Tiger Direct, or anything else for that matter...

Canadians always get the shaft...

EDIT: I switched my bing.com country to the United States, searched "Tiger Direct", Bing Cashback came up next to TD.com...opened it up, searched Canon 7D = 0 results found. I guess they're out of pre-orders too! AH!

!!!!!!Urgent iNFO.. I also ordered on Amazon this am thend just ordered again with the "Bing Bargain Buy" I just got off the phone with Tiger Direct whom said they have recd hundreds of orders today for this camera...They are confirming every order before processing.. If you ordered CALL them to complete the process.... Do not assume your order is done even if it is pending in paypal ect... Call them!!!
 
When I search 7D on TigerDirect nothing comes up. Am I missing something? Did they take it down due to the volume of orders?
 
I believe so Jester. It happened to me as well. According to galbach it seems that they are confirming each order before processing and no one's order is absolutely confirmed unless they call?

Crazy times...

Looks like they've taken it down on Tiger.

Adorama still has preorders it looks like. I just called to confirm with them, so they do this as well.
