These daily deals ended, but if you missed it, fear not, they typically have various SD/microSD/flashDrive specials throughout the holidays…
If you don’t need a blazing fast SDHC card and you could use a memory card wallet, there’s a pretty good bundle going on. The 32GB Lexar 200X Premium Series SDHC UHS-1 Class 10 memory card is bundled with a Polaroid memory card wallet (judging by the pictures it holds three memory cards) for $10. The seller is Ritz Camera with the order fulfilled by Amazon.com, so if you are a Prime member, you get free 2-day shipping even if you buy just one card. Non-Prime members get the usual free super-saver-shipping with a $35+ order. Limit 30 per customer.
This shares the same reviews pool with another bundle, but when you filter it for this only, it looks like it has all 22 of the 22 reviews, which average 4.8 out of 5.
B&H Photo has a special promotion on these Sandisk products (SD, CF, microSD, one CFast). Use promo code PPEBH15 to activate the discounts. The SD/CF cards are mostly 32GB and 64GB, while the CFast is 128GB… These are part of the B&H Photo 2015 Photo Plus specials.
Still going on is the 32GB Sandisk Extreme SDHC for $18 we mentioned last night, but if you prefer Lexar and 128GB, their 128GB Lexar Professional 1000x SDXC UHS-II/U3 Card (Up to 150MB/s read) with Image Rescue 5 Software software, model LSD128CRBNA1000, is on sale for $65 with free shipping with a limit of 30 per customer at Amazon by Amazon herself. The 128GB card currently crashes its 16GB to 256GB 1000x cousins in the same line-up in terms of GB/$.
If you like 16GB memory cards and you are fine with lower speeds, the 16GB Transcend Class 10 SDHC, 300x (up to 45MB/sec read), model TS16GSDU1 or TS16GSDU1E (frustration free packaging) is on sale for $7 per card at Amazon by Amazon herself. The limit is five per customer, but since they have them on sale in both the frustration free packaging and the standard packaging, you may be able to get five of each for a total of ten (I haven’t tried this).
If you like 16GB memory cards and you are fine with even lower speed, the 16GB Transcend Class 10 SDHC, 200x (up to 30MB/sec read), model TS16GSDHC10 or TS16GSDHC10E (frustration free packaging) is on sale for $6 per card at Amazon by Amazon herself. The limit is five per customer, but since they have them on sale in both the frustration free packaging and the standard packaging, you may be able to get five of each for a total of ten (I haven’t tried this).
Prime membership gets you free 2-day shipping even if you buy only one card (they are not part of the dreaded Add-On program). Non-Prime members get the usual $35+ free super-shaver-shipping.
If you are a fan of the latest Sandisk Extreme SDHC memory cards, the 32GB Sandisk Extreme UHS-I/U3, model SDSDXNE-032G-GNCIN, with read-speed up to 90MB/sec is going for $18 each. Limit 30 per customer.
Meanwhile the 64GB version of this card, model SDSDXNE-064G-GNCIN, is on sale for $39 with free shipping, with a limit of five per customer.
For fans of more image-eggs in one flattened SD-basket, the 256GB version of this card, model SDSDXNF-256G-GNCIN, goes for $160 with a limit of five per customer.
Speaking of Sandisk and memory cards, their early adopter (and violating the powers of 2) 200GB Sandisk Ultra microSD with full SD adapter, model SDSDQUAN-200G-G4A, is on sale for $180.
If you are a Prime member you get free 2-day or free 1-day shipping depending on location (of you and their memory card supplies).
This is a live/organic sale, it is not part of the lightning deals, so the price may or may not change at any point in time (market-driven as they say).

We continue this six degrees of separation thing, if you like to record photography documentaries from Over the Air TV (they have them on occasion), and if you are a fan of TiVO and watch Over the Air HD, they have bundled TiVO Lifetime Service with the Roamio OTA HD DVR (record up to 4 things at once) together for $300. The monthly TIVO fee is $15 (if you buy the DVR on its own for $50), so this bundle pays for itself in about 1.5 years.

This particular lightning deal ended, but Sony SDXC cards are recurring “guests” at the Amazon Gold Box deals, so they should return at unspecific/unknown dates in the future…
Ride the PoNY! We have another price drop on a 256GB memory card as they slowly but steadily reach lower $/GB, leaving the 512GB cards to hoard the big price premiums.
