B&H Photo WPPI 2017 Specials (some require coupon code)

The WPPI 2017 trade show is under way in Las Vegas [see Trade Show Calendar] and with it we have the customary B&H Photo WPPI specials. There are lots of specials there, I will “digest them” on a time-permitting basis, since, unfortunately, I’m not an octacore hyper-threaded Xeon (truth be sold I’m more of a 900 MHz Celeron). Some of the offers require coupon code BHWPPI17 (items that require this coupon mention it in the list above).

YMMV Best Buy $10 off $10+ coupon via email

I don’t know if everyone who is part of the Best Buy emailing list is getting this or a subset of customer or only Rewards member, so this is YMMV…

Check your emails for a new coupon from Best Buy that gets you $10 off a purchase at their website or their stores. There is no minimum purchase requirement, so you could buy an $11 item and pay just $1 out of pocket. Or $10.01 and pay a penny. And so forth. The email that announces this has this title:

“Here’s $10 off any purchase just for you – use by 1/28”

The coupon code is a unique certificate per customer, so don’t show it to other people, it’s a one-time use coupon. The usual coupon restrictions apply (cannot be used for gift card purchases, etc, etc, etc).

(ENDED) Sunday: 15% off Monoprice with coupon

This coupon expired… Sunday is here and so is another coupon! Coupon code 15MP gets you 15% off almost everything at the Monoprice website. The usual coupon exclusions apply (add coupon and items to cart to find out if they are/not eligible). Offer ends Sunday night.

Since Monoprice has coupons on a recurring basis, strategically, it’s a good idea to bunch orders and get items together. Some items may be eligible for free shipping, which can cut on your order totals shipping fee. Also, in some regions, they use regional delivery services (eg Golden State Overnight), which can you get your items faster.

(ENDED) Friday Monoprice coupons: $20/$100+ or $5/$25+

Friday is over, and so are its coupons…

Heads Up (January 16) No Entrace Fee National Parks

This is a heads-up / plan-ahead type of an alert. As before, National Parks that typically collect entrance-fees waive them on select National Holidays. January 16 (2017) is Martin Luther King day and the parks are entrance-fee free. These may be busier than usual, which may help or hinder the potential of photo-ops depending on what the preferred subjects are. But the winter weather may discourage some of the “casuals”, so you never know 🙂

(ENDED) 10% back in Rakuten points with coupon

This promotion expired… If you are a fan of the Rakuten Points rewards program, good news, coupon code 10BACK gets you 10% back in points on site-wide purchases at the Rakuten webiste until the end of day on Wednesday 1/11/2017.

YMMV (AMEX Offers): Spend $250+ at Adorama, Get $25 Statement Credit

If you have an American Express credit card, run to your account and look under the “Amex Offers and Benefits” section. You may be eligible for an offer to spend $250+ at Adorama, and receive a $25 statement credit on your American Express credit card. You have to pay with the credit card you register for this promotion. All you have to do is click the “Add to Card” button to add the offer to your AMEX account.

IMPORTANT: the promotion runs until 2/27/17 after you add the offer to your AMEX credit card. However, it is best to add it to your AMEX account as soon as possible, because AMEX often has a limited number of promotions available, and once that preset limit is reached, new people may not be able to “Add to Card”. However, once you “Add to Card” you have until 2/27/17 to use it – it won’t disappear after you press “Add to Card”.

See larger version of the screenshot below…

CAUTION: if you have multiple AMEX credit cards on the same AMEX login account, make sure you are looking at the correct credit card and activating the offer on the correct card. You have to pay with the exact credit card you activated the offer on, otherwise you won’t get the bonus.

AMEX is usually pretty good at sending email confirmations once you make a qualifying purchase that will get you the statement credit bonus.

If you are looking for ideas on what to buy, here are some places to look:
+ New Year Sales
+ CES 2017 Specials
+ On-Going Specials
+ Latest Rebates (Instant or MIR)
+ Overstock sales (over 6800 items)

(ENDED) Friday Monoprice coupons: $20/$100+ or $5/$25+

Friday is over, and so are these coupons…
