I saw this on another forum and thought it might be useful to some "Canon"izers though I am not one. Hope it is a good deal.

Just got off the phone with Canon Tech support. I called about an issue on my 3 year old Powershot S2-IS and was told about the Canon Loyalty program.
This program allows you to replace your current Canon camera with a Canon refurbished product. The refurbished unit carries a 6 month warranty. The following models are currently offered:
SD850 IS $150
G9 $250
EOS XT (with lens kit, same as this ) $275
Taxes extra, shipping is $10 for 2-day delivery. You must return your old / defective camera (must be a Canon). Prepaid shipping label will be provided.
Call Tech Support at 866-443-8002 or 800-828-4040 to get started.
------------
VALID ONLY FOR DIGITAL CAMERAS. NO FILM/APS CAMERAS!
Customer Loyalty Program's direct number is 866-443-8002.
You can call, find out what they offer, and call back later after you have decided.
This deal has been going on since 2006 (posted at SD on 3/06).
The camera being returned also has to be broke and out of its warranty period, so just say over a year to be safe when they ask how long you have had it.
NOTE: Cameras with a particular CCD problem qualify for free shipping (and free repair/replacement). Example: Turn in S230 for repair and get SD630 (free).

Cameras comes with a 6 month replacement warranty. I.e. if you have a problem call tech support and if they also can be convinced that you have a real problem, they will send you a new camera with a prepaid box to return the defective camera.
You will need the serial number of your current camera."
