Featured eBay Camera Sale (586 options)

eBay has another semi-curated featured Camera sale with a total of 586 items participating, from $18 generic Canon D-Rebel battery grips to DSLR bundles with boatloads of accessories. This is an ever-scrolling page, so the further you scroll down, the more items appear. You can filter them by product category and/or brand using the options on the left-hand side of their website over there.

Unfortunately I cannot multi-thread (verb) myself like a computer-server and go through the 586 items just like that, so for now it is a YMMV adventure if you are curious.

AMEX Offers (YMMV): Spend $60+ on Amazon, Get $15 Statement credit

This is a targeted offer, so there is a YMMV aspect to it. If you have an American Express credit card, check the AMEX Offers section. One of the offers making the rounds is a $15 statement credit if you make a purchase of $60+ at Amazon and pay for it with said credit card. You have to manually add the offer to your account, by pressing the “Add to Card” button.

amex_offers_amazon_1560_offer

IMPORTANT: while the offer is good until 12/31/15 after you add it to your AMEX card, the window to add it to your AMEX card is typically much smaller. AMEX Offers are available for a limited time and in limited quantities. To cut a long story short, if you see an AMEX offer you are interested or might be interested in the future, add it to your card as soon as you see it.
