Call (866) 443-8002, select option 2. It can only be done over the phone.
For a first camera and first lens, I'd rather see someone spend $220 (it's been cheaper refurbished during previous sales) than $800, especially when the performance wouldn't be easily noticed by someone starting. And the non-L is lighter, easier to carry.
And for someone's first camera, $1800 R6mkII is a bit of a enthusiast's price for a beginner's body. I'd probably look at the R10, RP, or R8.
(each piece of the below has been cheaper during previous sales, but since we don't have a time machine....)
A real nice powerhouse would be the $1100 R8 + 24-105 non-L for $220 and $500 for the RF 100-400. Combined....that's just a few dollars more than the R6 mkII body alone. You get a very excellent combination that's absolutely no slouch, covering quite a range of focal lengths on a budget. Toss in a RF 50mm f/1.8 at $100 for low-light performance and that's a trio worth keeping.
If you wanted to save a few dollars, one could always get the Canon RP at $600....saving an additional $500. Though I think the R8 is a bargain for what one gets, as it inherited many of the performance features from the top-of-class pro-tier R3.
If quality was one's biggest consideration...with the R6mkII + 24-105 L's total combined cost of $2600 being the max budget... one could make a case for getting the pro-tier RF 85mm f/1.2 @ $1800 and spend the remaining $800 on the RP with $200 to spare.... (or if possible, squeeze $300 more for the R8). Regardless, that lens is an absolute delight, and will shine on any mirrorless body. Glass is more important than the body anyways.
At least THAT lens has a major difference than its non-L cousins, even if it's not intended "for beginners".
