YMMV Email Only: 1-Year of National Geographic Digital Subscription for $6

For people in their emailing list, National Geographic has a limited time offer getting you a 1-year Digital National Geographic subscription (not the printed magazine) for $6. The promotion appears to be built into in the individual email links, because I can’t get the link to load stand-alone on a browser without clicking to it first from the email. So YMMV.

The $100 eGift Card is a promotional gift card, it will be sent to you in 10-20 days via email after your item ships, and it expires in 90 days, so in a way, you have to plan two purchases, the one for this, and the second purchase on how to spend the $100 promotional gift card.

Panasonic ZS100 Silver drops to $593

Zoom-zoom the whole world begins to zoom as the silver color scheme of the Panasonic ZS100 superzoom with RAW is down to $593 with free shipping instead of its usual price of $700 at Amazon by Amazon herself. This is not part of the lightning deals, so it could last somewhere between nanoseconds and eternity (in other words, I don’t know when the price will change ~ or if it will change).

100% Back in Rewards on 16pk of Duracell Single Use Alkalines (limit 2; ends Sat PM)

If you are a fan of the Office Depot and Office Max rewards and Duracell single use batteries, the 100% Rewards promotion is back on their 16-pack Duracell Coppertop single-use AA or AAA alkalines. You get 100% back on the purchase price (but not the sales tax) on up to two units. You can do one of each, or two of the same. The offer is good for orders placed online, or in-store or by phone or even by fax (!).

Online orders get free shipping if your order total is $35+. Also participating in the 100% promotion are Folgers ground coffee, with a limit of five. One of these will get you free shipping 🙂

You can see all the offers, and if you page down towards the bottom you will see the details and restrictions of each promotion at the Office Depot Rewards Offers page.

Note that Office Max Rewards do NOT roll. If you pay with your existing Rewards balance, you won’t get new rewards. So you have to pay for these with “new money” (credit, debit, cash, gift cards, store credit, barter) but NOT Office Depot Rewards certificates.

The promotion expires at the end of day on Saturday 4/30/16 (closing time for stores, 11:59pm assume Eastern to be on the safe side for online orders). If buying online, don’t wait until the last minute on Saturday as weekend nights can be computer maintenance hick-up time.

Fuji X10 Compact with RAW (black) for $300

If of the many compacts with RAW it is the black Fuji X10 the one you want, you can get it for $300 with free shipping by SSE Photo & Video thru Amazon. This ships directly from the seller (SSE Photo & Video) but if you are a Prime member, you will get Prime shipping benefits (this was a recently added benefit to Amazon Prime, select sellers offer free 2-day shipping on products purchased by Prime members ~ not sure how the cost is split between the seller and Amazon but that’s their behind the scenes thing, not the consumer’s)… Thanks to S.A. Anderson for the email alert on this…

PS: for the speed readers out there, this is the older Fuji X10 fixed lens camera, not to be confused with the newer Fuji X-T10 interchangeable lens camera.
