As usual, the ultimate decider for what qualifies for the coupon is their shopping cart. You can “test” the coupon without having to login or create a KEH account: just add items of interest in the shopping cart and enter the coupon code and see what happens…

And you can buy these without paying-paying sales-tax using the brand new B&H PayBoo credit card. Say Boo to the Sales Tax 🙂
Meanwhile in WootLandia, another variant of the Anker accessories sale hits the main Woot, while the Electronics promotes Tenergy batteries of different kinds, and the “Computers” sub-Woot features various HP gaming desktop computers…
Sales Tax is a wallet-biter for internet shoppers in the USA these days. B&H Photo has a new option if you want to pay sales-tax without taking the hit in your wallet. And of course very legally doing so.
They have just launched the B&H PayBoo store credit card. You make online or in-store or by-phone purchases and pay the amount plus any appropriate sales tax. At the same time, the credit card rewards your account with the sales-tax amount, so the net balance of your credit card is without the sales tax amount.
For example, let’s say you purchased Hypothetical 50mm f0.005 IS Macro Tilt-Shift for $100. Sales tax in your state is $7. The credit card charges you $107, so you have paid your sales tax. At the same time, the B&H PayBoo store credit card credits $7 to your account. So the balance you have to pay is $100.
You have to apply and get accepted to the credit card (instant decisions available). It is managed by the Synchrony Bank.
NOTE that this benefit is only available to customers who reside in USA states where:
+ there is sales tax
+ B&H is required by law to collect it at purchase
+ there are no state laws prohibiting this practice
NOTE also that if you change the delivery address (eg different state), the credit amount and whether you get the credit may be impacted as different states have different percentages and laws and some-do and some-don’t collect sales tax.
There is no benefit/reward for international purchases. You will not get back customs or other fees. This benefit is only for US state-tax where eligible/possible.
This is a “house” credit card, it can only be used for B&H purchases at B&H, be it online or in-store or by phone or using the B&H apps or by raven.
NOTE also that you must make the FULL payment using this credit card. If it’s a partial payment with any other payment method, you will not receive the benefits.
STRATEGERY
Overall, this sounds like a promising idea, assuming you plan your purchases wisely and check what your purchasing/finance APRs are in case you are planning to make payments over time ~ especially if there are no special 0% financing offers available at the time of purchase.
This however creates complications if you frequently use or receive B&H Gift Card and/or B&H Rewards, so that’s something to consider. Some states may not collect sales-tax on digital downloads/services (eg CreativeCloud, software purchases, cloud subscriptions), so in those cases, you may be able to pay for them using your B&H gift cards.
Or you can re-gift the B&H gift cards or sell/trade them on the gift card market (plenty of sites and options these days for gift cards)…
Printer action that is a bit of a surprise in the Amazon USA Gold Box, for the price of $180 you get an HP 2-Printer bundle:
+ HP Tango smart home printer (sorry, the printer cannot dance unless you put it on a very shaky surface while printing)
+ HP Sprocket Portable Photo Printer (sprocket yes, but Hot Pockets are not included!
Limit two bundles per customer. Reviews can be found on the individual product pages of each printer ~ shown further down the Amazon product page…
A lens, a prime lens at that, headlines the Tuesday quartet of B&H Photo daily deals running until 11:59pm ET today [or earlier for any that may sell out ahead of time]:
+ Sigma 40mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art for $999 in Canon, Nikon and Sony E
+ BENRO Tripster Travel Tripods, five options, $49 to $149
+ Xerox WorkCentre 6515/DN All-in-One Color Laser Printer for $180
+ INCASE Travel Passport Wallet for $15
Digital picture frames are the dessert of the day at the Amazon USA Gold Box, where Gold Box favorites “NixPlay” are available for $104~ to $146~ for the 10-inch and 13-inch sizes respectively. It is a group listing, so filter through individual reviews. The total score of the 3300+ customer reviews is for all four options in the listing. Amazon really needs to fix their multi-option listings. These work best when an item differs based on color and other cosmetic non-essential factors. When you have different actual products, you need to separate them!
Meanwhile in the land of Best Minnnnesssssoooottttta Buy, they are offering the Manfrotto NX camera backpack for $30 with free store pickup or free delivery if the preconditions are met (certain Reward membership level or order-total)…

To keep marketing and legal departments busy, companies often decide to change names. Such is the case for “Massdrop” which is now just “Drop” 🙂
Which brings us to one of their latest offerings, the new condition IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT I-1 INSTANT CAMERA BUNDLE offered for $60 with free US shipping.
This is currently only shipping to US addresses, so if you are outside the US, try forwarding services or long lost cousins 🙂
For a limited time only, coupon code CREATENOW100 gets you $100 off the 1-year Creative LIVE Creator Pass subscription, making it $199 instead of its regular price of $299.
If that expires, there’s also coupon code CREATENOW50 that drops $50 off, making it $250. Obviously $200 is better than $250.
This is a 1-year prepaid subscription that includes almost everything (but not everything) available at CreativeLIVE. Exclusions are based on previous agreements with the class instructors and such. New content will also be included in the subscription unless its explicitly excluded by prior agreements.

This is a sell your own gear promotion, not a buy new/more gear! To celebrate Earth Day, KEH Camera is encouraging us all to sell them back any camera gear we have no use or interest in anymore. The encouragement comes in the form of a coupon: coupon code SYG4A gets you a bonus on the quoted amount depending on you decide to take your payment:
+ if you take cash (a check in the mail), you get a 5% bonus
+ if you select a trade-in bonus (think of it as KEH store credit), you get a 10% bonus.
In other words, let’s say through the years, you have given up on tilt-shift lenses, and you decide to sell your Fictitious 5mm f0.5 lens. Let’s say the initial KEH quote, based on your description and included accessories, is $1000. Using the coupon code, you will get $1050 if you select cash (check in the mail) OR you will get $1100 in KEH store credit to spend on future KEH purchases. Because that Fictitious 7mm f0.7 MACRO OIS DG AF-Z Typ-M you’ve had your eye on for the last seven years costs more than $1100 for sure ^_^
The promotion expires Sunday 4.28.19 at 11:59pm eastern time…
PS: I do not know if you can use this coupon more than once during this promotion, so if you have multiple items to sell, mayhaps wait until you can include them all in your sell.
PS2: if you are having a hard time deciding whether to go for cash or KEH store credit, look at your previous KEH purchases (how often do you buy, what gear, what price ranges, etc). Also look at what camera gear you are planning to buy in the next few months and then look at the KEH inventory to see whether the gear you may want to buy are actually available and at what prices and compare to prices from other sellers [considering included or not included warranties in the price].
PS3: note that KEH includes a 180-day warranty on camera gear in USED conditions “BGN” (bargain) and better (Excellent, Like New, etc). However gear in “UG” (Ugly) and “AS IS” and gear that are inoperable do not get a warranty [for obvious reasons]. Check their warranty page for all the details..
