Sunday: Double Dividend for REI Commune members

Good until Sunday night, REI is offering its commune members a double dividend. In addition to earning the standard 10% dividend on eligible purchases, you also earn another 10% bonus promotional dividend. The promotional dividend will be paid quickly, but it is has a short duration, it must be used between September 13-23 in 2019.

The offer is good for members only. IF you are not a member, you can sign up for a $20 lifetime-membership and participate.

Note that you only earn a dividend on full price items. Sale, clearance and promotional items do not earn a dividend. Which makes sense since the dividend is sort of a profit sharing plan and there’s not a whole lot of profit in most clearance items 🙂

Check their website for all the terms, conditions and restrictions of these offers…

Woot Plus: refurbished HP Printers, Inks, Apple and Chrome laptops

Woot Plus (the longer-running deals, not the daily ones) are having a sale on HP Printer and Inks with five printers and five ink options participating. Printers range from $22 (Deskjet Advantage 1115) to $80 (Envy Photo 7855 AiO). Inks go from $30 to $43. All but the $22 printer are factory reconditioned with a 90-day HP warranty. The sale ends 9/23/19 or ealrier if sold out.

Another Woot Plus deal running until 9/13/19 focused on refurbished Chromebooks and Apple laptops with the Thinkpad X150e starting at $90. This has a nice 4GB RAM but 16GB on-board storage. As one of the Commenters over there pointed out, this is however an older model, so it is no longer getting Chrome OS updates.

Google offers 6.5 years of ChromeOS updates BUT the clock is not ticking when a new laptop is released. Instead the clock is ticking on the platform. And the platform is defined as the date the first laptop was released using that laptop. So if a new laptop is released using a 3 year old processor, it will only get 3.5 years of updates because the platform is on the clock, not the indivudual laptop. This is explained in Google Support…

Kindle Offer (YMMV): Spend $15+, Get $4 ebook credit

This is a targeted / invited offer, so there’s no general use link. You will find the offer while browsing around the Amazon website, or if you want to “encourage” their website to show you the offer (if you are eligible for it) start browsing around their eBooks pages…

The offer is this: spend $15+ in any Kindle ebook purchase(s) between August 27 and September 5 in 2019, and receive a $4 ebook credit towards future purchases. The $4 credit will be automatically added to your account two days after you reach the limit, and will be used automatically in your next eligible e-book purchases in the next 30 days after it was received. If not used within 30 days, it evaporates.

In addition to general fiction/non-fiction, there’s a number of camera and photography related ebooks. The ones with pictures and diagrams are best enjoyed on larger color screens but text-only books (eg Susan Sontag’s essays) can be nicely read on e-readers.

NOTE that you must manually hit the “Activate Now” button while logged on to your Amazon account in order for the offer to …activate 🙂
