I understand that.  Once we accepted prepaid processing coupons on Kodak 
slide film that simply instructed us to collect the coupon, give the 
customer the processing, and send the coupon to Kodak.  We accepted a 
couple of dozen of them, sent them to Kodak...and then Kodak made us 
jump through a bunch of hoops to make sure we were a genuine lab (which 
was understandable, but a simple call to one of our suppliers would have 
been enough -- they wanted banking information, among other things), and 
then told us they only accepted the coupons in batches of 200, and that 
they would not be returning the coupons to us.  Oh, and that the coupon 
program had been discontinued, so we wouldn't likely see any more, so 
the coupons were worthless to us anyways.  Actually, they weren't -- we 
would have made a deal with a bigger lab that we dealt with, and traded 
them the coupons for processing credit with them (and they would have 
had 200 coupons).

But Kodak refused to send them back.  I couldn't really say to the 
customer "Hey, now you have to pay for these...but you can't have your 
prepaid coupons back to use elsewhere", so I ended up paying the bill 
myself.

You see why a dealer would be wary of a Kodak coupon.

Re: Free Kodak Elitechrome Extra- Color

Hi,

Here we have Inkley's, which is part of the Ritz family.  They don't
stock it.  We don't have a Walgreens, but various camera stores and drug
stores don't have it either.

I finally did find one small corner shop that had it.but, they
wouldn't take the coupon because they don't buy the film from Kodak and
can't get reimbursed.

If anyone wants this coupon from me (it's a little dog-eared from being
in my wallet while I trotted around to all these downtown camera stores)
email me off list and I'll send it your way.

Thanks, 

William in Utah.

Hi, 

I think it's only in subscription issues. After I got
mine in the mail,  I thumbed through another one at
the bookstore and the coupon isn't there.

Not that the coupon does me any good in Salt Lake
City.  The "Pro" camera shops don't carry Kodak's
"consumer" films (like Elitechrome EC) and the regular
photo stores and other retailers carry at best
something at each ISO speed point from Fuji and Kodak,
but no special flavors.  I think that the folks that
run these shops see so little profit (and volume) from
consumer slide film users that there is little
incentive to carry more than the bare minimum. 

Thanks,

William in Utah.
