On top of the two new Canon DSLRs, there’s more news tonight! Amazon has officially revealed and expanded their Prime Day! This year, it will start at 9pm Eastern on Monday July 10 and continue until 3am Eastern on Wednesday, for a total of 30 hours of non-stop shopping action!
We will have “event coverage” here when it starts Monday night (July 10), which is less than two weeks away!
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 JUNE20 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 6/30/17 or earlier if preallocated coupon quantity is depleted.
Some of the Amazon offers can be once per the lifetime of an Amazon account, or once every few years. This is one of them. It is a $5 off a $25+ order when using the Amazon Assistant. You can tell if you are eligible for the promotion if you are logged on to your Amazon account. I had previously used this offer, and it told me “Sorry”, can’t use it, you previously used it.
The Amazon Assistant is a browser add-on available for some of the major desktop web browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and a few lesser known such as 360 and Sogou. You don’t have to keep the browser add-on forever, or if you use a browser that allows multiple profiles per computer (eg Firefox), you can install it on a separate browser profile.
This is YMMV ~ I do not know if eBay offers this to everyone or a subset of their registered users. Good until Friday 3am eastern (6/30/17), you earn 8% 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.

It looks like we may have a pattern here. The ebay coupon expired last night, and lo and behold, a new eBay Bucks promotion is running today. So they may be alternating? I’ll pay attention to see if this is an on-going pattern…

One great way to take advantage of this promotion is the new condition factory unlocked Samsung Galaxy S8+ (Midnight Black) offered for $700 with free shipping by Samsung’s official eBay store. No contract, no obligation to any carrier, and you can use it on all four major US carriers (Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon) and their assorted sub-carriers (MetroPCS, Cricket, etc) and MVNOs (Page, Republic, TPO, etc). 10% of $700 = $70 in eBay Bucks to be spent in future eBay purchases!

This promotion is good for new users of Google Express only, not existing customers. Groupon has a new groupon where you Pay $15, and Get $40 to Spend through Google Express. Google Express is a local delivery service that lets you buy various products from local B&M retailers. Of camera and photo interest, Fry’s, Costco, Target, Staples and more are participating in the program.
This offer is good where Google Express is operating locally. Not every item offered by a retailer may be available for purchase through Google Express. You can check using the Google Express website and your zipcode.
You can buy one Groupon of this for you, and another one as a gift for another person.
UPDATE: of Costco interest, this Kirkland tea with near-cult following is actually available as one 100-pack for $14 thru Google Express, while the Costco website only offers two 100-packs for $30.89.
UPDATE: OOPS! This expires Tuesday night, not Monday 🙂

If you are a fan of shopping at Rakuten (formerly Buy.com), for Wednesday (today), promo code 15BACK gets you 15% back in Rakuten Rewards points at the Rakuten website. Exclusions and limitations apply as usual. You have to be a member of their Rewards program in order to get the 15% back in Rewards points.
This may sound a bit counter-intuitive if you hadn’t heard of it before, but Amazon has a new feature where you walk into a brick and mortar chain store, you hand them cold hard cash, and said cold hard cash magically appears as a balance in your Amazon.com account. You pay no fees for this service (take that PayPal!).
To encourage people to use this relatively new Amazon Cash service, Amazon has launched a new promotion. If you load $20+ before 7/31/17, you will receive (later via email) a $10 Amazon promotional store credit to spend in the future. So if you load exactly $20, it’s like getting 50% more. The $10 promotional store credit must be spent by 8/31/17. The $20+ balance is a gift card balance, it never expires.
A barcode is generated that is a link to your Amazon account. You show that barcode at the B&M store when you load your cold hard cash. The bar code can be generated with a web browser or using the Amazon app. Details on how to generate and save it at the linked pages. You can even print it.
A number of chain stores are participating in this promotion, including GameStop, CVS, Fred’s, Speedway, KwikTrip, and more.
Make sure you get a receipt of the transaction ~ in case any enterprising employees decide to be “adventurous” with the promotion during the early days 🙂
I will attempt this promotion the next time I’m near one of the participating stores. I will post another post chronicling my “adventure” 🙂
It is interesting how Amazon is sending foot traffic to brick and mortar stores in order to encourage customers to shop online 🙂
