KEH Camera is running a “12 Days of Deals” promotion, and for Wednesday 12/5/18, coupon code THIRD12A gets you free ground shipping on ALL purchases, no minimum purchase required. Excludes Leica products and anything in NEW or “Like New” condition. Best suited if you are buying small things (chargers, adapters, lens accessories, etc) since KEH Camera typically requires a $49+ order for free shipping.
EU/Germany: 10 euro credit with 25+ euro purchase as NEW Amazon app user
Amazon Germany is currently running a new promotion until February 28 in 2019. IF you are a NEW USER of the Amazon app (first time to sign into an Amazon app using your particular Amazon account), AND you make a 25+ euro purchase, then you will receive a 10 euro promotional store credit in your Amazon account. I’m not 100% certain based on the computer-translation but it looks like the 10 promotional credit will be applied to the first 25+ euro eligible purchase you make after activating the offer. Only products sold and shipped by Amazon itself, in new condition are eligible. Books of all kinds and digital content appear to be excluded.
To see the details, how to do this, and to see whether your account is eligible for this offer, check the Promotional page while being logged on to your account. YMMV on who’s eligible… The offer is not restricted to Prime members… Your Amazon account must have been created prior to Nov-15 in 2018 [presumably to prevent Slickdeals-style tricks of creating dozens of accounts?]…

KEH Camera doubles warranty from 180 to 365 days until 12/31/18
I haven’t mentioned this yet this year, so it’s a good time to mention it 🙂 Good until 12/31/18, KEH Camera is doubling their warranty from their usual 180 days to 365 days. This is a pretty good warranty duration for a USED product, in many times matching a new condition product. And KEH is a reliable place for fixing cameras to boot.
Only products that were previously eligible for a 180-day warranty are getting the 365-day warranty. Products that are “AS IS” are/were not eligible for any warranty. Products in conditions between “BGN” (bargain) and “LN” (Like New”) ARE eligible for the warranty. Details at the Warranty page…
This happens automatically. There is no coupon code to enter. You are simply eligible for it based on the date of your purchase…
I don’t remember when this promotion began for the 2018 holiday shopping season. If you made a purchase before today that happened during the 365-day warranty window, you automatically get the 365-day warranty.
