Canon Ixus 70 and case £109.09 delivered from Amazon

Just ordered one of these today for my inlaws, this camera is great. Cost me £160 about 6 months ago. I've briefly compared the price against other retailers, couldn't find anything as cheap.

Amazon have got a free camera case offer on at the moment which means you can add the case worth £12.91, the price of which gets deducted at checkout.

However, when you add the Canon ixus 70, the deduction for the case is counted twice for some reason, so you get £25.82 deducted from the total.

This is the link here. Camera case offer here. You have to add both items to the basket and then when you go to checkout, the £25.82 is taken off at the final stage. Don't forget to select free supersaver delivery.

Don't know how long it will be before they spot what I suppose is an error but hope it helps someone in the meantime. I tried adding a few other cameras included in the offer (there are lots to choose from) but the only one I've found it double counts for is the ixus 70.

    i ordered the ixus 75 with free case from amazon last week, the case did not come up as free so i had to phone them to change the price to £0.00

    i think i paid £138.69 altogether in the end.
  • I have just purchased one for my partner for Christmas (before reading this thread), I originally thought I'd beaten the system to get the double discount, but I guess not.

    Even so this is a bargain for the Ixus 70 and a bag, and from a reputable seller too!!

    Merry Christmas (or whatever your celebration is at this time of year)

    I see this camera's dropped £2 in price since I originally posted. If you order, remember that Amazon have a 30 day price guarantee, so if the price drops further within this timescale, you can email them and ask for the difference to be refunded so it will be even more of a bargain.

    Double discounting error still occuring as of this morning.

    The price of this camera has now reduced to 129.00, make sure that you claim the difference back before the 30 days expires.

    I'm guessing that should read £120, it was £122 when I originally posted.
