Wednesday: 3pk of 64GB Samsung microSDXC for $30
I am mostly using Samsung microSD cards these days, I have had zero issues with them ~ the same cannot be said with other brands I had previously used (Lexar, PNY, etc). Of course I am not a consumer reports test lab, so it’s only a small data point…
Which brings us to the Wednesday Woot Computers deal of the day a 3pk of 64GB Samsung microSDXC memory cards o the EVO Select kind (UHS-I, U3, C10, 4K UHD video, up to 100MB/sec read and up to 60MB/sec write) for $30 with free shipping for Prime members or $6 flat for non-members. It comes out to *calculating* *calculating* $10 per card 🙂
You can buy up to ten 3-packs per customer at the sale price. They come with a 10-year Samsung warranty. These are the 4-Proof kind (water, extreme temperatures, X-Ray, magnetic fields).
MEANWHILE at the main Woot, their deal du jour is a sale on various iPad PROs: the 12.9″ 2017 and 2018 models, and the 11″ 2018 model. Prices range from $570 to $1060… And at “Electronics” there’s the refurbished scratch&dent LG V20 former-flagship Android smartphone going for $100 with a 3-month Woot warranty…

It’s a Trio but it doesn’t sing “Da Da Da”. It’s not a bird, nor a plane, it’s the Wednesday B&H Photo daily deals running until 11:59pm ET (or earlier if any sells out during Hump Day):
+ Magnus VT-3000 Tripod System with Fluid Head for $90
+ or with Magnus Dolly for $122

128GB Sandisk Ultra Fit USB 3.1 Type A for $17 [limit 4]
If you need USB 3.1 Type A flash storage of the compact kind and don’t want to wait for the next big Sandisk sale, at the moment, Amazon itself is offering the new condition 128GB Sandisk Ultra Fit flash drive, model SDCZ430-128G-G46, for $17 with up to four per customer at the sale price. Free shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order (eg two of these).
I had one of these (not sure if it is this exact model) that I was using as storage for one of those small OTA Antenna budget-chinese DVR boxes and it worked without missing a beat. Problem was that the budget DVR recorded things at MPEG2, so you’d use about 4GB per hour (depending on how it was transmitted, 1080i? 720? etc?)…
PS: “Fit” is the name Sandisk uses to describes the small USB flash drives. It is a bit longer but decidedly thicker than a microSD memory card. You can even forget you have them in your laptop’s or desktop’s USB port.
AMEX Membership Points on Amazon: $30 off on $60+ purchases
This is a YMMV promotion ~ if you are eligible it will appear in your shopping cart or follow you around as you visit various Amazon pages…
The offer is this: if you make a purchase with an American Express credit card at Amazon over $60, you will receive a $30 off discount in the shopping cart. To get this discount, you must pay at least partially for the purchase using American Express Membership Rewards points. But first, you must manually activate the offer for your account ~ eg at the aforelinked page…
You typically have an option how much to pay with AMEX Membership Rewards points, and this is good because it is not a favorable ratio. So you could pay $2 worth with the AMEX points and the rest with your credit card.
The offer works only on products sold and shipped by Amazon itself, not by 3rd-party sellers. Digital content purchases are not eligible. You can find all the terms/conditions over there…
