Online stores with discounts - know any good deals?
I was just wondering if anyone knew of any good deals/discounts from online stores.
I was checking out Amazon and they will give you a $50 gift certificate code if you spend $500-$999.99us, or $100 g.c. if you spend $1000. They also give you $30 if you apply for thier visa. And you can get 3% reward points, im not sure how that works. Those two g.c. deals is only good for another few weeks, and is good for pre order items like the rebel xt *plus battery grip to put it over the $1000* and thn 6 to 8 weeks later when the other g.c. are good, maybe a couple of lenses.
Also what is everyone's experience with amazon?
I think I read about another site that gives you a healthy % back towards a next purchase, but I cant find that thread.
Does b&H, adorama or something like that, Willoughby's, etc have anything like this? I took a quick look around but didnt see anything.

Now if you know all of the tech stuff already and want to save, sure, Amazon is a method to use. But if something goes wrong they do not exactly have a store you can walk in to. All you can do is send emails and hope they reply.
As for the other credits, they may involve opening up a credit card account or a line of credit specifically with the seller. These guys are NOT going to lose money. I'd rather give a few extra bucks to the camera store and know that no strings are attached.
onecall.com is very good, very reliable... prices are excellent. they give 1% if you join their PASS program (free).... i've shopped there plenty.
cheers

I just want a store that has a good price, return policy incase there is something wrong with it, and hopefully they will tak it back under warrenty and fix it.
Im not sure if I can get it all at once, so I may have to do the monthly paymnt thing or a bank loan, not a credit card. 5% compared to 17%, hard choice, hehe. And saving $100 or $150 sounds good to me. :0) Ill have to check into the 3% rewards thing that amazon offers.
I havent heard any bad stories about amazon, perhaps I should try to find that link to reseller ratings and give them a look.
Nowadays aty the mass merchandise store I am lucky to find someone who speaks English, tlerates their job, and knows someone who knows the guy who has the key to unlock every little $20 items in the store from behind a plexiglass cabinet....
