Rayovac Alkaline Batteries have their own $5 AmazonDash button ($5 credit after first use)

Until I see this in person, I still think it’s an April Fool’s joke that everybody else is in on 🙂 But it’s actually for real. For Prime members, a few months ago Amazon launched a Dash Button Service where you press a button, and Amazon automatically orders and delivers the designated item for you. So far it’s mostly household items but more brands are coming on-board (eg printer inks).

At the moment, there is one Dash button of photography interest, the Rayovac Battery Button (single-use alkaline AA, AAA, C, D). You pay $5 for it, and after you place your first order with it (by pressing it), Amazon will add a $5 store credit to your account. For each button, there is a box that you can click on the Amazon product page for that particular button to see all eligible items (annotated screenshot crop below):

Lowepro Volta 20 Camera Case for $3 with Store Pickup (limit 5)

Ooops! Forgot about the eBay Deals, so we start with something that costs less than the average Starbucks drink, the Lowepro Volta 20 Camera Case goes for $3 by Best Buy on eBay. Free Store Pickup at a nearby Best Buy store, otherwise $7 shipping ruins this deal. Limit five per customer.

Speaking of tiny camera bags, the good old tiny goofy AmazonBasics Compact Case goes for $2.26, with a limit of three per customer. It is still an Add-On item, so you must place a $25+ order to get it. The rest of the AmazonBasics camera cases are not discounted like this.

Speaking of Starbucks, for a limited time only, Groupon offers a Pay $5, Get $10 Starbucks eGift card. Limit one per customer. When you redeem it, you can add this to an existing Starbucks gift card, so you don’t have to “pollute” your Starbucks app with too many gift cards. Since I can’t physically buy all our readers coffee, this is one way to do it 🙂
