Our Verdict
This offer isn’t showing on all accounts; I found it on around 25% of my accounts. Remember to go through a shopping portal when making a purchase.If you are someone who buys electronics regularly, it could make sense to buy a $250 Adorama gift card and lock in the discount for the future.

Sounds like it might not work at AdoramaPix (Adorama’s answer to Shutterfly, offering custom cards, books, calendars, etc, using your photos), only Adorama proper? They’re co-owned (I can use my Adorama login at AdoramaPix), but it’s a different website than the one the Amex Offer mentions.
I bought a nice camera there a year ago. Problem I think is that we must weigh this $25 off with price protect potentials. In my case I got $70 back through Citi Price Rewind. Buying a gift card or paying with an Amex foregoes such protection, so the $25 incentive may not be worthwhile.
Are they charging tax out of state now like B&H?
If they aren’t yet they soon will. Supreme Court ruling in June was directly aimed at companies like b&h, Adorama Wayfair and the like.
Newegg is charging sales tax now.
Thanks Doc! I didn’t think of a gift card – that would’ve been better than what I’ve done. Bought a lens yesterday for a bit over $500, and had them split the order into two charges (via chat) so I got a bit over $250 on each card – used both of my AmEx offers at once. Had to do it while on a chat, so didn’t get cachback from a portal. Buying two gift cards and then going through a portal would’ve been a slightly better play.
what will that amex extended warranty be if ordered by two amex cards?
