Canon’s CarePAK PLUS promotion – with protection from kids, pets, and life including accidental damage such as drops, spills, power surges and other unforeseen events – is coming back. The new promotion period will run from May 1, 2016 to July 31, 2016.
How do we know the promotion is coming? Yesterday Canon USA released a CarePAK PLUS promo video on their YouTube channel with the dates “05/01/16 – 07/31/2016” appearing at the end of it. However, after originally embedding that video into this post, its permission level was suddenly set to Private (and therefore unviewable).
So which products will be eligible for the CarePAK PLUS coverage? Well, we’re not 100% sure yet (the marketing representative I spoke to at Canon did not have that information yet). Below you’ll find the cameras and lenses which qualified for the previous CarePAK PLUS program, and it’s probably a safe bet that they’ll be covered in the new program as well. We assume the EOS-1D X Mark II and 80D will also be included in this promotion, but that’s just speculation for now.
