New Prime Benefit: second Household Adult gets own unlimited Prime Photo cloud storage
One of the Prime benefits is unlimited photo cloud storage for a Prime membership account. But in a recent expansion of benefits, Amazon also offers unlimited photo cloud storage for a second adult that can be added to the Prime membership of the primary/paying Prime member. So you can have two different adults with two different Amazon accounts and each one gets his/her own pool of unlimited photo cloud storage on their own Amazon accounts. This can be done by setting up an Amazon Household account. You can also have up to four kids added but the kids don’t get unlimited cloud photo storage.
Prime Only: Adobe Photoshop Elements 14 for $40
If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can get the Adobe Photoshop Elements 14 software for $40 in either the PC/Mac disc or the Digital Download. The price you see on the product page varies (it is $60 as of the time of writing). The price drops to $40 when you go deep into the Checkout page, one last step before you place the order. No coupon is needed for this one. There is a hint of this sale on the aforelinked page, the block that says “Prime Members Save More on This Product”.
When you reach the last step before finally placing an order, you should see something like this:
If the price total does not drop to $40, it means the offer ended or there’s something else wrong. Do not place an order if the price is higher (unless you want to buy it for more).
The offer is good for both the disc and the download. Sales tax collection may differ depending on delivery method and state.
Fry’s Half-Week Promo codes: refurb ZS35 for $99, Manfrottos, mystery Elph
A lot of brick and mortar retailers split their weekly ads in two on ThanksGiving week.

Fry’s has posted their half-week (Sun AM to Wedn PM) weekly ad on their website and it includes these camera and photo items (these require unique promo codes that are included in each person’s email subscription to the Fry’s e-mail newsletters):
+ refurb Panasonic ZS35 with card and case for $99 is back again (limit 1)
+ Manfrotto Compact Xtreme 2-in-1 Monopod+Pole for $30 (limit 1)
+ Manfrotto Compact Action Tripod (MKCOMPACTACN-BK) for $40 (limit 1)

+ 16GB Samsung cyan microSD with fullsize adapter for $6 (limit 2; in-store only)
+ mystery 20mp Canon Elph for $140 (in-store only; you have to call them or visit store for details; most likely because of MAP restrictions)

Nearly 500 units got sold so far from this particular eBay offer per the statistics over there.
YMMV: $20 off Shutterfly with coupon code with Discover credit card statement or Panera Rewards
Don’t send your Discover credit card statement straight to the shredder! In this month’s statements delivered by mail, you may have a coupon for $20 off a $20+ order at Shutterfly. The coupon code is unique per customer from the looks of it (long winded blend of letters and numbers). This is a colorful 4×6 inch type of a coupon included in the envelope, it is not on the actual statement. I don’t know if this is included in every statement or only some. Shipping is additional. Redemption instructions are included on the back of the coupon. Expires 12/28/15.
UPDATE: a similar offer may be available through the Panera Rewards program. This may (have) arrive(d) in an email titled “a holiday surprise for you!”. It’s a $20 off $20+ as well, with a 12/29/15 expiration date. The coupon code is a long combination of letters and numbers which typically means it is unique to each person.
(ENDED) Starts Sun 11:20am ET: Linco Studio Lighting kit
This limited time offer expired but the deals keep on rolling at the Amazon Gold Box in a rather unpredictable fashion…
