My dear old Canon PowerShot A70 “mysteriously” died and “luckily” I still had the extended warranty receipt from my favourite big-box electronic store (had some good times and took some great shots with that camera). I received store credit for the full $399 price that I paid for this camera 2 years ago. I can get a the same model-type for $199 OR use it towards something else.

I took the plunge and used it towards my first digital SLR camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT.
