Prime Benefit (YMMV): $5 Gift Card the First Time Ever you sign-in to Amazon Shopping mobile app

This offer is available to Prime members, and it is targeted to individual Prime members – check your emails to see if it’s anywhere in there. If you have never signed in to the Amazon Shopping or Underground mobile apps, you will receive a $5 Amazon electronic gift card 7 days after you sign-in to that app for the first time ever. This does not include the Kindle or Music or Video apps, but only the specific Amazon Shopping and Underground apps shown at the promotional page. Promotion ends 11/19/15.

PS: this is a low risk to check, but keep in mind, the Amazon apps have not met an Android system permission they didn’t like 🙂

Adorama Clearance sale with coupon (item prices range from $1 to $9 each)

And now we have the return of the $5 Gadget, in fact, the items in this offer range from $1 to $9 each when you use coupon code NOVDECSALE at the Adorama Clearance Sale. The clearance is organized by after-coupon price, so you can check all the $1 or $2 or $3 or … $9 items. The prices you see there drop to their after-coupon prices after you enter the coupon during checkout.

Think of this as a virtual thrift store sale. A lot of items are manufacturer branded, for example, cases/bags for older P&S digital cameras, straps, cables, filters, and other small things. Lots of camera cases, maybe about half of the items offered.

PSA for Data Hungry Photographers: T-Mobile Unlimited plan price increases to $95 for new customers on Sunday

T-Mobile had a been Uncarrier event earlier in the week, but they lost of street cred today when news rolled out that they are increasing prices of their plans for new customers, something they conveniently forgot to mention during their big event. More carrier, than uncarrier move 🙂

Be that as it may be, their unlimited plan is going to increase from $80/mo to $95/mo for new customers starting on Sunday 11/15/15. Existing customers will continue to pay their current rates. So if you were interested in jumping aboard that plan, time if of the essence. More details and never-ending discussions in the comments at Android Central.
