BorrowLenses is back with another coupon, this coupon gets you 17% off the rental of camera gear, with the relevant details in the screenshot below:
(ENDED) Monday: $20 off $300+ at Monoprice w/coupon
Monday and all of its coupons are over…
Monoprice coupon: 20% off orders of $200+
Two new coupons have been launched for the Monoprice website. The coupons are running until Saturday night (8/5/17), so it gives you more time to plan a bigger order to take advantage of the coupon discount. The two coupons are:
+ $5 off orders of $25 or more with coupon SUPER
+ 20% off orders of $200 or more with coupon code SWS (that’s the coupon code, easy to type)
Separately, Monoprice has launched a Back to School Sale featuring a variety of products. Coupons usually don’t work on sale items, but sometimes they do.
The most effectively way to figure it all out is to add items of interest to the shopping cart and enter the coupon and see what happens. You don’t have to login or sign-up to test them. Likewise you can get a S&H estimate by entering the zipcode(s) of interest.
YMMV: 6% back in eBay Bucks [no minimum amount]
eBay is rotating between coupons and eBay Bucks promotions, and the pendulum has swung in the direction of eBay Bucks again!
This is YMMV ~ I do not know if eBay offers this to everyone or a subset of their registered users. Good until Monday 3am eastern (8/6/17), you earn 6% eBay Bucks on your purchases This particular promotion has no minimum purchase price, so even a $1 item will get you bonus bucks.
First you have to manually activate the offer from the eBay email or your eBay messages (if invited/selected to participate). Some exclusions apply as usual and the maximum rewards you can earn is $100 per transaction, and $500 during the promotional period. The email title announcing this promotion is not as clear as previous ones, but it has “eBay Bucks” in it, so look for that if you are skimming or filtering eBay emails.
A good place to look for ideas are the eBay Deals along with the Trending Deals (shows only 100 trending deals, less overwhelming to look at than their main deals page). There’s also a dedicated search box there that searches only the Deals, not everything else on eBay.
Another way to look for ideas is our eBay Category posts.
(ENDED) 15% off Lenses and Flashes, 10% off Cameras at KEH with coupon

If you pay for your order with Masterpass (instead of the other payment options available there), and enter promo code MPBTS17, you will receive either $10 off a $100+ order or $25 off a $200+ order. The usual restrictions apply.

This coupon offer expired, but eBay launched new promotions on a regular basis these days, so stay tuned…

20% off at A4C with coupon
A4C (All 4 Cellular) has a lot of older products, some refurbished, some used, some new, and it is of interest if you like to dig for previous-generation bargains. More so now, with coupon code JULY20 getting you 20% off almost everything at A4C. Notable exceptions are the daily deals and iPads. Everything at A4C gets free shipping, even if it’s a $2 trinket. And you don’t have to be a Prime member 😉 The coupon ends 7/28/17 or earlier if pre-allocated coupon quantity is depleted.
20% back in Rakuten Points with coupon (ends Wedn PM)

PS: there’s also coupon code REWARDME that gets you 5% back in Rakuten points until 7/31/17.
PS2: note that the coupons above will not drop the prices you pay when you make a purchase now using these coupons. You will receive Rakuten Rewards points which you can use in future purchases at Rakuten.
Monday: 20% off $300+ at Monoprice
Monoprice does not have predictable free shipping like most other retailers, so pooling orders into bigger lots is one strategy to counter that, especially when some of the items in your shopping cart are eligible for free shipping, which can lower the overall S&H costs of your order.
With that in mind, for Monday in the pacific time zone, coupon code DESERVE gets you 20% off orders of $300+ at the Monoprice website. The usual exclusions apply. You can test the coupon and get a S&H estimate without logging in or signing up for an account.

Amazon Warehouse Deals Bargain Bin Clearance
If you like the digital equivalent of digging into the bargain bins to see if you can uncover any treasures, Amazon Warehouse Deals (Aamzon’s USED product sales sub-market) is having a Bargain Bin Clearance sale with over 20,000 items participating. Of those, there are about 100 of them filed under Camera and Photo. To see the used options, click on the small “used” blue links under the picture of each item or on the individual product page.
PS: I will dig into the bargain bin later today and post separate alerts if anything stands out…
Camera Gear Rental Coupon: 10% to 25% off at BL
BorrowLenses is back with another coupon promotion for gear rentals. This is a “the more you rent, the more you save” type of a promotion, with the discount ranging from 10% to 25% depending on the total rental amount. The Borrow Lenses email describing the promotion is very well-done, self-explanatory, I need not say anything else. I wish all retailers were half as clear and concise in describing their offers 🙂
(ENDED) Monday: 20% off a $300+ Monoprice purchase
Monday’s coupon is over: Monday has a coupon too at the Monoprice website, coupon code POCKET gets you 20% OFF Orders of $300 or more. Same situation as before, you can test the coupon and get a S&H estimate without creating an account. Expires Sunday night.
This continues until 7/23/17: speaking of Monoprice, they have a sale on Select Hubsan Drones (17 options) running until 7/23/17. Also running until that expiration date is the Hubsan 501S Brushless Quadcopter Drone Only for $160 with free shipping. The coupons typically do not work on sale items (but I haven’t tested them).
(ENDED) Sunday: 15% off Monoprice coupon
This promotion expired…
Did you know that today is National Ice Cream Day? To celebrate this, coupon code ICECREAM gets you 15% off many items (but not everything) at the Monoprice website. Same situation as before, you can test the coupon and get a S&H estimate without creating an account. Expires Sunday night.

YMMV
There are recurring offers that “bribe” you with a $10 Amazon credit to change your default Amazon credit or debit card to a specific bank and type. I’ve seen this happen with various, eg Discover and Citibank. These offers usually appear in the Shopping Cart, and also in internal ad banners while you are browsing around the Amazon website.
Especially this time of the year, it pays to keep an eye out for out of the blue offers. Some may be targeted. A lot of these offers can be “once per account”, so if you had previously taken advantage of it, you may not be eligible for it again. Or at least until they reset their counters or change how they do it 🙂
+ NOTE: if you see any errors you’d like corrected, please leave a comment or use the online contact form. If you see an error, it means I don’t know about it, otherwise I would have corrected it 🙂 I love corrections, so don’t be shy 🙂
(ENDED) Prime Day Has Began!
Prime Day is now over…
If you are following the updates on RSS, our Prime Day coverage is centered on the Prime Day Situation Room, a mega-post that is frequently updated as deals come out. Due to the chaotic nature of these, I can’t create individual new posts for every single deal. It would create over 100 posts per day! Check the latest action at the Prime Day Situation Room or at the Amazon Prime Day page.
(ENDED) Monday: 20% off $300+ orders w/Monoprice coupon
This coupon expired…
Just because it’s Prime Day week it doesn’t mean the other retailers have stopped existing 🙂 Good for Monday, coupon code SUNSOUT gets you 20% off a purchase of $300+ at the Monoprice website. As usual, restrictions apply. You can test the coupon and get a S&H estimate without logging in or signing up.
Prime Only: 20% off select Amazon Warehouse Deals items in Cart
Select items at Amazon Warehouse Deals get an automatic 20% off discount in the shopping cart. There’s no coupon code to enter. The price drops after you add it to the shopping cart. Eligible items mention it in their used listings. Only items sold by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself are eligible, not by other sellers. Offer ends Monday night 7/10/17.
Amazon Warehouse Deals sells used and refurbished items. Just like the regular new condition Amazon purchases, both Amazon itself and 3rd-party sellers are offering products. As usual, be careful when seeing “Just Launched” or otherwise iffy sellers, especially if they are offering the product for the lowest price or a too good to be true price or ask you to contact them before buying.
This is one of the first wave Prime Day deals. You can find this and many more at the on-going Prime DAY Situation Room.
In other Amazon Prime deals, the certified refurbished Amazon Echo goes for $90 in black or white, with a limit of one color per customer. Offer ends by 3am ET on Sunday or earlier if they sell out of them.
Prime Day offers are only available to Prime members. If you are Prime curious, this is a good opportunity to start a 30-day free trial and participate in the festivities. We have a Comprehensive Guide to Prime Benefits if you need a refresher…
Friday: 20% off a $300+ Monoprice order coupon
Space is the place! Coupon code SPACE20 gets you 20% off an order of $300+ at the Monoprice website. The usual exclusions apply (some sale items, some brands, some product categories, laws, etc). You can test the coupon and get a S&H estimate (Monoprice has yet to figure out how to offer consistent free shipping) without logging in or signing up. Offer good for Friday only.
10% bonus if you Sell Your Gear (Most Wanted List items)
Good until July 11 (2017), coupon code 10MW-0607A gets you a 10% bonus if you Sell Your Gear at KEH and they are in their “Most Wanted List” (currently features 106 items; a mix of lenses and cameras of different brands). This is a bonus on the KEH quote on what they’d pay for your gear.
Optionally you can get an additional 5% bonus if you select a KEH gift card instead of cash as the KEH payment for your gear.
(ENDED) Tuesday: 10% off at KEH with coupon (150+ choices)
This coupon expired…
Pay $15, Get $40 to spend through Google Express (new users only)
Speaking of Price Club / Costco (for those not old enough to remember 1993, they merged in 1993), they are among the retailers that are participating in Google Express, along with Fry’s, Tarjay, Staples, etc. For first time Google Express customers, Groupon has a Pay $15, Get $40 to spend thru Google Express promotion. That is a pretty good discount, especially if you can keep your order close to the minimum.
Limit one for you and another one as a gift. The offer is for new Google Express users. I haven’t made a Google Express purchase yet, but I believe tipping for the delivery is expected?
