    No, the rebate is based on point of sale and resident status. See terms "valid only in Canada." If you buy it from US and have it shipped, you just bought a US model, not Canadian (even though everything is orignially imported through Asus North America in Fremont :)).

    Plus, I'm going to guess that the specific sub-models (i.e. K40 IJ-D2 listed on the rebate may only be available in the Canadian market - Asus NA tends to sometimes do that - so further restricts to Canadian residents. Finally, for the rebate to be valid you have to completely match the listed submodel.

    correct. you can not claim us rebate from canada. it would be nice to combine a rebate with a favorable exchange rate. not that ca to us exchange is favorable.

    I just called the customer service number listed on the form. the lady has verified and confirmed that it could be used! it doesn't matter where I got the PC from, as long it's the specified model and mailed to the canadian rebate centre from a canadian residential address! :)

    Nice that you can use it after all.

    Now just don't count on getting it anytime soon. When I bought my G2S back in January of 2008...I didn't actually get the rebate until about a year later. I had totally forgotten about it...so it was a surprise to actually get it. lol
