Thank You Points: 20% off on select Reward Redemptions (GoPro, a couple of Coolpix)
Good until 8/31/15, if you have enough Citibank Thank You Rewards points, they are having a 20% off redemption sale on select items available through their rewards program. The offer slideshow shows the Nikon Coolpix S7000 and S33 waterproof, the GoPro Hero + Handler, etc. I don’t know if the list of rewards differs depending on which credit cards you have linked to your Thank You account so there might be a bit of YMMV. No coupon needed, the points needed to redeem are adjusted automatically by them.
Strategically this may be a good deal if the discounted redemption price in points is lower than the actual price at major retailers, and if it is better compared to other redemptions (eg gift cards for various retailers).
Refurbished Fuji S9200 superzoom (50x) for $130 or S8600 (35x) for $85 [updated]
Fuji alone has close to a million S-series superzooms, and that’s before you factor in the options from all the other manufacturers. One of the S-Superzoom models is the S9200 (50x optical) and said camera is offered in certified refurbished condition (90 day warranty, all accessories) for $130 with free Prime shipping by Dealfisher fulfilled by Amazon.
UPDATE: speaking of which, the certified refurbished Fuji S8600 superzoom (36x optical) goes for $85 with free shipping by various through Amazon, with the first three listings (as of the time of writing) fulfilled by Amazon so they are eligible for free 2-day Prime shipping for members.
Refurbished Nikon S9900 compact-zoom for $230
The Nikon Coolpix S9900 is offered manufacturer refurbished with a 90 day Nikon USA warranty for $230 with free shipping at Groupon Goods. Before I give you the spoiler, take a closer look at that listing. Spoiler in the next paragraph, stop reading if you don’t want to be spoiled 🙂
The spoiler is… the picture is of a Sony superzoom camera, but everything in the listing is about the Nikon S9900 which may perhaps explain why they only sold one, even though it’s a good price, when you consider the new condition is $300 at Amazon and Best Buy upon eBay et al. The Groupon listing for the new condition Coolpix S9900 has the correct picture.

It does not come with a Nikon USA warranty instead the seller provides a one year warranty (parallel in features to the manufacturer warranty), with the “Item Specifics” on the eBay listing saying: “Trained Professionals at Authorized Repair Center”.
If you are not comfortable with imported grey-market items, you can get it manufacturer refurbished with a 90 day Nikon USA warranty for $5000 at Adorama.
The new condition price, at authorized Nikon dealers is $6000 with some offering free accessories, such as B&H Photo (32GB Extreme, extra battery, shutter release, shoulder bag) and Adorama (2% rewards and extra accessories or free Audio-Technica AT8024 camera-mount mic) or Amazon (64GB Lexar, camera bag).

$20 off a $50+ Amazon Prime Now order with coupon (first time PrimeNow orders only)
Amazon seems to be having a midlife crisis Big Bang of sorts because they are expanding in all kinds of different ways. If you live in an area that is eligible for Prime Now delivery (one hour delivery of your purchases; for Prime members only) and you haven’t placed a Prime Now order before, you can get $20 off your first order of $50 or more with coupon code TRYITNOW entered over there. An expiration date is not mentioned.
Items must be ordered with the PrimeNow app and be sold and shipped by Amazon and eligible for Prime Now. You can find more details and the full terms and conditions at the PrimeNow page. Strategically this may be handy if you are purchasing products that have the same price everywhere at reputable/authorized dealers.’
PS: I can’t test this because I am not in a PrimeNow delivery zone (yet), so I can’t tell you about the mechanics of the ordering. Prime Now is different from Prime Pantry which is different from AmazonFresh Prime which is different from Prime Student which is different from Prime Mom which is different from Prime Squared 😉
60-inch Dolica LA600 Pro Tripod (Traveler Edition) for $70
The 60-inch Dolica LA600 Pro aluminum alloy tripod with ballhead, traveler edition, is currently on sale for $70 with free shipping at Groupon Goods. This is sold on the Groupon website but the seller is Dolica (same way Amazon, NewEgg, Sears, etc have 3rd-party sellers on their website). This is a final sale (no returns). US continental states only. No PO Boxes. Not eligible for coupon codes. Which is why there is no place to enter the previously mentioned coupon code after you add it to the Groupon shopping cart – I am no Sherlock Homes – it took me a couple of minutes to put the two together 🙂

AMEX Offer (YMMV): Spend $75+, Get $15 statement credit at Exposures Online
If you have an American Express credit card, check your Offers section (below the account summary when you logon to your account – on the desktop browser page).

You have to manually opt-in to the offer (by clicking the “Add to Card” button) before you use it. Once you opt-in, the discount happens automatically on the back-end. They will send you an email once a qualifying transaction arrives at their system. This offer ends 10/14/15 and can be used once during this promotional period.
This applies to everyone: when you visit the Exposures Online site for the first time, a window pops that offers you a 15% off coupon discount if you are willing to enter your email to join their email list.
