Can anyone figure out if this line from the FAQ means we can only buy one item on cashback or if we can only claim cashback once per item?
Q. How many times can I apply for the Cash Back?
A. Only one Cash Back is available per person, per coupon, name or address.
To me its a very badly constructed sentance and i can't figure it out.

Maybe it means that you can only apply once, but when you do you can buy a number of items?

I'm going with the assumption we can't get cash back multiple times on the same product (which is obvious). I've ordered the 420EX so i'll wait and see what happens with that.

Has anyone claimed more than one cashback yet? I'm about to apply for my second one, but I can't work out the above sentence from the T&Cs; either!!

It does take ages. I got mine for my 420EX this morning, which is why I'm wondering if you actually can claim more than one! I submitted mine on the 26th April, so you need to allow about a month I guess.
