Sony a6000 with 16-50 & 55-210 & LR6 for $700
The Sony a6000 two-lens kit (16-50, 55-210) was one of the major Black Friday iLC brick and mortar offers at $700. But now there’s more! Not only you get that, but also the Adobe Lightroom 6 software is included at Adorama. To recap, you get the Sony a6000 with 16-50 and 55-210 lenses and the Lightroom 6 software (the Win/Mac DVD, not a digital download).
If you already have LR6 or are not interested in it, the two lens kit is also available for $700 with a differet set of extras instead of LR6: an additional Sony battery, an additional Sony charger, a screen protector, and a 64GB Lexar microSDXC C10 card.

IF you like camera bags and mail-in rebates, this is the union of those two towers.

More details on the mail-in rebate in this PDF file. Offer ends by 12/30/15 or earlier if sold out.
FujiFilm Instax Mini 8 Camera + Daylight Film Twin Pack for $75 [or Wide 300 with Film for $100]
An instant camera is more fun when you have more film 🙂 So with that in mind, Adorama is bundling the FujiFilm Instax Mini 8 Camera (available in multiple colorful pastel-y colors) with the Daylight Film Twin Pack (20 exposures) for $75 with free shipping.
At the bottom of the list there, you will also find the Fujifilm INSTAX Wide 300 Instant Film Camera bundled with the Instax Wide Instant Color Print Film for $100 with free shipping.

Tamron 16-300mm Di VC PZD and 10% Rewards for $500 after $130 MIR (C/N/A)
Late start today, so we have a 15 yard penalty, repeat first down, and for the first down play, we have a special rebate and reward play, from the special playbook. I’m not even sure if the previous sentence makes sense, so let’s pretend I didn’t write it and move on…
The Tamron 16-300mm f3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD is at a confluence of deals. It has two Tamron mail-in rebates totaling $130 back via MIR, along with 10% promotional rewards. As far as I can tell, the rewards are on the purchase price, not the after rebate price. So you can get this lens for $500 after $130 MIR plus $63 promotional rewards (or $50 in the worst case scenario) at B&H Photo in the Canon and Nikon and Sony SLR mounts. The Sony is not stabilized (no VC). Offer ends 12/24/15.

Android Pay on Nexus: the $20 Best Buy eGift Card arrived the next day
UPDATE 12/21/15: The $20 Best Buy gift card remains in your account (stored on Google’s servers) even after you uninstall Android Pay. If you re-install Android Pay, it is right there. You may have some flexibility in the PIN entry by adjusting how quickly the lockscreen activates after you press the power button or the screen doses off. This is YMMV depending on your phone and OS version.
ORIGINAL POST
I became a guinea pig for this promotion we mentioned earlier this week: if you have a Nexus device and install and use Android Pay on it by 12/31/15, you will receive a $20 Best Buy electronic gift card in your Android Pay account.
I did this earlier this the week, and the e-gift card arrived the following day. I did not count the number of hours in-between, but my first Android Pay transaction happened on 12/16 and the gift card was in my Android Pay account on 12/17. Cropped screenshot below – it has a PIN and bar code which I won’t post 🙂
Android Pay requires a lockscreen PIN for your phone or other approved locking mechanism. And NFC turned on. If you remove the lockscreen PIN (or the locking mechanism), Android Pay automatically removes your credit card(s) from your Android Pay account. Kinda rude but they are erring on the side of financial security.
Since there is no way (as far as I can tell) to access Android Pay transactions with a web browser, once you receive the $20 Best Buy eGift Card, you may want to take a screenshot of the number and PIN to make sure you don’t lose it later.
NOTE: I did this using only one phone. I do not know what happens if you have two or more phones using the same Google account with Android Pay activated on both.
Buy Adorama Gift Card, Get Coupon for future purchase
If you are part of the Adorama emailing list, they have emailed a new promotion, Purchase an Adorama Gift Card and receive a coupon to be used in a future purchase by 12/31/15. The coupon depends on the gift card amount. A $100 gift card gets you a $5 off coupon. A $250 gift card gets you a $20 off coupon, and a $500 gift card gets you a $50 off coupon. The coupons must be used by 12/31/15… I haven’t done this promotion so I don’t know how it works…

15% off Refurbished Canon Lenses and Flashes
There is a big burst of Holiday Specials at the official Canon USA store. This includes a 15% sale on refurbished Lenses with a 1-year warranty (68 options but many sold out already), and Flashes (5 options, all in-stock). The sale is shown in red ink, no coupon is needed.
I am highlighting some of the offers that are in-stock as of the time of writing in some of the posts below, but I can’t post about every single item – the Canon line-up is huge.
In parallel, you may also notice the offer below running over there. If you make a qualifying purchase of $500+ at the official Canon Outlet store, you will receive $50 in Canon eCash to use in future purchase. These are promotional rewards, not a gift card, so it has limitations and expiration. Details over there. Here’s the annotated banner from over there promoting it:
