UPDATE: the KEH website says the coupon expiration date ends 4/30/18. The information I got from the affiliate program says it expires Sat 4/28/18, so YMMV… As of 4/29/18 the promotional banner still shows up on the Kell Sell Your Gear pages…

I had been under the impression this promotion expires 4/30/18 but actually it expires on Saturday 4/28/18 at 11:59pm eastern…

You can get all four freebies mentioned if you manually add them to the shopping cart along with the camera. All must be sold by the YI Amazon store, not any other sellers, because that’s their coupons. The links below point to the YI store options for each eligible item:

Add them all to the shopping cart. Then when you proceed to the Amazon Checkout page, the price of each item will be automatically discounted. No coupon is needed! If you don’t see the discounts, it means the promotion expired or there’s something wrong. If you don’t see the discounts, you won’t get the discounts!
