Even though it no longer shows up in Amazon's description, the 75-300 discount is back as long as you're willing to wait until Nov 30 for it to ship.
Edit: check that, page has updated again -- discount is back in the description, and the 75-300 is in stock and shipping immediately.
Note that you need to get the non-USM version to get the discount.

This is still a good deal, just not as hot as it was yesterday. Yesterday's pricing was red-hot; today just a little cooler, but still a great price for the camera and 2 lens.

They have the same deal at B&H, which saves me tax, but you do not get the free SD card, or backpack, which are working again at Amazon.
Just trying to decide between the T3, and T3i.

deal not dead, literally just just ordered; how is this not still smoking? from all the 'best deal debbies' from yesterday, only difference I see is:
55-250 PROMO: -$221.79
is now
-$150.00
Was the promo ever LIVE for the USM lens?

I just spoke to them via chat. He added the 75-300 lens to my existing order but my total came out to $766.99 and said I am unable to apply the promo code for this lens because I have other promos applied already. He said the marketing department will contact me via email 24-48 hours. Anyone else get this?

^^ too funny. they don't have a clue. one guy from an overseas call center was trying to say one lens promo per digicam but the problem was the USM lens. so i just checked out with both lens (non usm on the one), sd card, bag. all promos applied; i just have to pay tax in cali now (sux), but i'd rather deal w/ Amazon customer service if there is a problem before B&H; plus afte 6% CB & camera bag (if you need it); it's more or less still a better deal at amzn.

no CB, well that stinks but I wasn't originally expecting it. were both lenses available on B&H with promo discount per the same deal? if so, looks like I should have purchased from B&H as bag and SD are nothing noteworthy. GD cali tax.

please illustrate 50% < math. whole deal (3 lens, bag, sd card) when I checked out this morning was ~$650 - 2% Amazon rebate (tentative)
the 75-300mm garbage of the litter will go on craigslist or eBay for $150 and (hopeful) proceeds toward an eye-fi mobile x2.

Just got a shipping confirmation. Probably just for the SD Card. It showed on my account it would ship separate. I'm pretty happy with all of this. Almost screwed it up yesterday. The good lens 50 - 250 was OOS. I submitted with just the 75 - 300. Kept watching this thread and I saw it come back up, cancelled that first order and reordered and got both lenses. Looking forward to getting this. Haven't had a camera upgrade for a good 10 years. Just ordered a Tripod and some UV filters also. Anyone have a good recommendation for a Wide Angle Lens? The only one i pull up in a search costs about $750 on Amazon. I know it's a You get what you Pay For thing. Looked like a nice lens. It was this one - Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLRs http://www.amazon.com/Canon-EF-S-10-22mm-3-5-4-5-Digital/dp/B000...
Total cost including shipping/tax (for most) = $606 for a discount of over 57% off of retail Without the two lens loophole it was still almost 47% off of retail. Add the 2% from Amazon and you are there on both.
