    I have yet to receieve my 4% rewards so I emailed them about it and this is the response I got. Did anyone else get theirs?

    I got mine for the em1, but not for the lens yet (still have time to go).
    If you used a coupon, purchased through an affiliate, or a site like ebates or fatwallet, then you don't get it.

    Their reason for me not qualifying is that the 4% rewards are for purchases starting in December and I pre-orderd it on release day which was Sept 10th. However, they were already advertising the 4% rewards on Sept. 10th. and I kept checking their site regularly to see if they were in stock Was I just imagining that or did others see it too?

    I would work with Helen directly via e-mail. She is active on many forums on behalf of Adorama, and I am sure that she will provide any assistance that she can. She and Henry Posner at B&H are usually very good at helping folks. Give her a chance.

    Good luck,

    I've never checked, but it seems that the BBB (aside from broadcasting the situation on Facebook, or threatening to) may be the only recourse you may have to a solution.

    I received separate rewards from Adorama: one for the camera body and one for the lens. I received each reward approximately 40 days after Adorama charged my credit card.

    The issue is that the rewards are generated automatically and do relate to whether the reward was in place on the date of the order. The staff in the Cs call center can only report on what they see on the screen, however, following your email to me I can assure you that the 4% reward is being generated manually, and I hope you will receive an email containing it, today or tomorrow.

    Let me know if you need anything else!

    Thank you! I would always recommend that any forum member with a query on an Adorama order contacts me directly for any issue, rather than going via the Cs call center. You will get a personal service, and know who you are talking to:smile:
