This coupon expired… Good until 4/16/17, coupon code 15APRIL gets you 15% off a single item at the Barnes and Noble website. eBooks, Nook hardware, and LEGO Toys are not eligible.

Woot App two-step $10 off $25+ coupon

Woot is trying to encourage people to use its app, and doing so will get you a $10 discount on an order of $25+. But this is a two-step promotion. First you have to install their app (available on GooglePLAY and iTunes and of course the mothership Amazon App Store), then you make a purchase with it by 4/16/17. After that, a $10 off a $25+ order coupon will be sent to you on 4/21/17. The two-step will probably discourage some people, so this is perhaps best for hardcore Woot users…

10% off coupon at Groupon Goods

In addition to getting you 20% off Local Deals (this is where custom photo print offers reside), coupon code SALE3 also gets you 10% off on Groupon Goods where most of the camera and photo and electronics and other physical goods reside. You can use the coupon on three different offers, buying one unit in each offer, with a maximum discount of $50 per offer. You can use the sub-categories to navigate (cameras are under “Electronics” or use the search box over there).

NOTE that like Amazon, eBay, Best Buy, Walmart, Sears, NewEgg, Jet, Groupon also allows third-party sellers to offer products on its site. When buying items where manufacturer warranty or buying a USA-market-model is important, check the Groupon listing to see who’s selling it. It is not shown as clearly as Amazon or NewEgg or eBay (and these three could do some work to improve upon it), so you have to read the blob of text in the main body of the description.

Coupon ends 4/13/17.

15% off Rentals at BL with coupon

BorrowLenses.com has a new coupon to go with the tax season blues (or celebrations if a refund arrives), you can see it in the screenshot below. You have to place the order by 4/17/17, but your order must be received by you by 4/30/17, meaning you can schedule it a few days ahead of time. Their shopping cart should tell you what dates work.

If you are interested in Parrot drones, coupon code FLYINGDEALS gets you 20% off select Parrot drones at the official Parrot USA store. Coupon expires 4/17/17 (unless extended).

20% off Groupon Local (where Custom Photo Print Offers reside)

If you are looking for some custom photo print offers (gallery-wrapped canvas, custom photo books, metal or wood or other photo gifts such as blankets or phone cases or coffee cups), coupon code SALE3 gets you 20% off on up to three separate Local Deals at Groupon. Maximum discount is $50 per item. Limit one unit of each offer. Coupon ends 4/13/17.

You can locate them by navigating the sub-categories or use their Search Box to search for things like “canvas” or “custom photo book” or “custom photo” (for a wider search net) or “metal print” or search for any service you may interested in, eg “printerpix” or “shutterfly” and such. I tried all the search words in this paragraph and they return multiple results.

As usual with coupons, some restrictions apply, for example, some brands may not allow their products to be couponized.

Free shipping with order totals of $25+ for all (which is probably why Amazon has the $25+ free shipping tier on books). The usual restrictions apply. Coupon expires 3/30/17 at 3am ET.

Ends Monday PM: 20% off products from 42 eBay Sellers with coupon

eBay is on the attack again! This time they have a new non-targeted coupon code, coupon code C20FLASH gets you 20% off products offered by 42 eBay sellers, a mix of known (BackCountry, eBags, VM Innovations, WW Stereo, Red Tag Camera, Samsonite, etc) and unknown sellers.

The coupon expires Monday March 27 (2017) at 11:59pm pacific time. Minimum price for eligible items from eligible sellers is $25. MMaximum discount received is $50 (in other words, purchase amount that can be discounted capped at $250 [CORRECTED MATH!]).

eBay created listings for different categories of eligible products from eligible sellers. The Camera and Photo listings have over 1000 items, while the Digital Cameras sub-category has over 600 items.

Check each individual listing for the condition and warranty situation of each item, since this is a mix of various sellers. Due to time constraints I can’t go through the 1000+ listings right now, so this is a DIY adventure if interested.

eBay $10 off $25+ coupon by email (YMMV)

This is YMMV, so you have to check your email associated with your eBay account, or check the eBay Messages on their website/app. They have a new promotion, a coupon that gets you $10 off a purchase of $25+. The coupon code appears to be unique per customer and it is one time use. You will also see it appear on eBay product pages if you are logged on to your eBay account. Judging by the language in the email, this promotion may be targeting ebay users who haven’t bought anything recently. Coupon expires 3/29/17.

The text above is “quick mouse writing”, that’s why it looks like finger-painting art 😉

The promotion looks like this on an eBay page if you are logged on to your eBay account AND eligible for the coupon:

If you are eligible for this promotion, 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.

The same coupon works on all the above categories. Maximum discount is $50 per deal. Limit one unit per deal. The coupon can be used on up to three different Local deals, up to three different Goods, and up to three Gateways. Getaway cars not included 😉 Offer ends 3/24/17 PM.
