FREE 27″ Samsung CF398 Curved Monitor with select Samsung Notebook 9 PRO laptop purchases ($850 to $1200)

A trio of Notebook 9 PRO laptops are eligible for FREE 27″ Samsung CF398 Curved Monitor at the Samsung website. Use your browser’s search function to search for “CF398” on that page, or slowly skim and scan the info dump to find them 🙂 The three eligible laptops range from $850 to $1200. The monitor is added automatically to your shopping cart for FREE while this promotion is running. There’s no coupon, no rebate!

If you want to research the monitor, this is its product page. Do not add the monitor to the shopping cart from this page. I’m only including it for reference. If you page further down on that page, you’ll also find the PDF user manual of the monitor.

As far as I can tell, only these three models are eligible for the free monitor.

Ricoh Theta M15 360 Degree Spherical Camera for $98

This camera is not eligible for the 20% Prime Credit Card Statement credit promotion but it looks like a 3rd-party seller has “tricked” Amazon’s own price bots to price-match them, dropping the blue color scheme of the Ricoh Theta M15 360 Degree Spherical Panorama Camera to the very specific price of $98.24 with up to three units per customer at this price.

The other three colors range from $100 to $110 but they are sold by 3rd party seller “Kanga Supply” with the orders fulfilled by Amazon. Kanga also offers the blue for $98, which is what likely triggered Amazon’s own price to drop for that particular color.

Free Gift Card offers continue for Panasonic Lenses, M43 Cameras and Fixed Lens Cameras

I just rechecked, the Panasonic offers bundled with gift cards of the last couple of weeks are continuing, featuring gift cards for various M43 lenses, along with some M43rds camera bundles, and almost all of their non-entry-level fixed lens cameras get some kind of a gift card. There are over 15 posts of them, so I don’t what to repeat them here. You can find them at the Panasonic posts here.

Used Fuji X100F Black for $986

The new condition Fuji X100F big sensor prime continues to go for $1300 in new condition at authorized Fuji USA dealers. Even the freebies that are included, when they are included, are very basic. That strong is the new condition price. But while updating the Stock Status Tracker we noticed a breakthrough for the used prices of the black color scheme, they are under $1000 at two reputable photo dealers:

+ USED “Very Good” condition by MPEX via Amazon for $986
+ MPEX is Midwest Photo Exchange, ships directly from Ohio, not Prime eligible

+ USED Condition 8+ at B&H Photo for $1000

Google Pixelbook + $50 Gift Card + 6 months of Netflix for $899

The early bird catches the Pixelbook! The new condition Google Pixelbook (i5, 8GB, 128GB) is on sale for $899 (instead of starting price of $999) at Amazon by Amazon itself with up to three per customer at the sale price. But that’s not all, you also get a FREE $50 Amazon Gift Card. Simply add both the Pixelbook and the $50 gift card to the shopping cart and proceed to checkout. While this offer is running, the price of the gift card will be automatically deducted by the shopping cart.

This only applies to the Pixelbooks sold and shipped by Amazon itself – as it is often the case with these type of promotions. You can find the offer mentioned under the “Special offers and product promotions” part of the product page.

The bundle with the Pixelbook Pen is also discounted by $100 but does not get the $50 Amazon gift card. But fear not, you can buy the Pixelbook Pen on its own for $99, which is the difference between the two bundles anyway.

256GB PIXELBOOK
UPDATE: this dropped to $1100…

The 256GB Pixelbook is discounted too, from $1200 to $1100 [WAS $1120] and it is also eligible for the FREE $50 Amazon Gift Card. The bundle with the Pixelbook Pen goes for $99 more and does not get the free gift card, so if interested you can buy the Pixelbook Pen on its own for $99…

PRIME STUDENTS
IF you are a PRIME STUDENT, they have a promotion that gets you 10% off. I don’t have a Prime Student account, so I can’t test it.

AFTER YOU RECEIVE THE LAPTOP

The above are what Amazon gives you. After you receive the laptop and activate it, and BEFORE 12/31/17, you can get the FREE Chromebook Offers. The Pixelbook is eligible for:

+ 6 months of Netflix (a $66~ store credit)
+ two years of additional 100GB Google Drive
+ $60 game currency for the Asphalt 8 game

ALTERNATIVES

This is currently sold-out: For about half the price of the Pixelbook, you can get the Samsung Chromebook PRO which we mentioned a couple of days ago and it continues to be in-stock. The PLUS continues to be out of stock.

IF you prefer Chromebooks from other than these companies, there are a few more that participate in the $50 Gift Card promotion as well…

  3. you want to pay for your whole eligible purchase with either one of these credit cards
  4. you want to buy one of the items eligible for this promotion

If YES to all of the above, then keep on reading! You can find the terms of the promotion, along with links to the eligible products at the Prime 20% Cashback Offer. You only get 20% back on the amount paid with the credit card, so if you have gift cards and such, you may want to uncheck them in the shopping cart because you won’t get 20% back on the portion of the purchase paid with a gift card or any other payment method.

There is no coupon code to enter. The offer happens automatically in the back end while this promotion is running.

EXAMPLE

Using the above as an example, you pay $376.99 at checkout. When your credit card statement closes, you will get a 20% statement credit (instead of the usual 5% statement credit). In this case, you will have a $75~ statement credit in your credit card account.

This is a LIMITED TIME OFFER. Amazon does not specify the expiration time, so if you don’t see it on a product page, it means it expired!

This is a limited time offer! You can find details and all the eligible products through the Prime 20% Statement Credit offer page.
