OR you can easily test their coupon in their shopping cart and see whether it works or not…

Another benefit of KEH Camera during the holiday shopping season: typical 180-day warranty is automagically upgraded to a 365-day warranty on items purchased until 12/31/21. There’s no action/coupon needed for this, it happens automagically based on the purchase date…
The warranty extension offer is only for items that were previously eligible for the 180-day warranty. For example products in the “AS IS” condition are not eligible for any warranty…
