A reader commented on my previous post about the $200 Amazon credit deal – he basically got the Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR lens for $885 (reg. $1,400) after taking advantage of several savings and offers:
Wow, thanks for posting this. I’m not one for credit card gimmicks, but this is a serious deal! I just applied for this card, and will be getting the 200-500 for less than $900 (if you count the Amazon credit as savings):
$150 bonus after spending $500 on your new Chase Freedom card in the first 3 months
$200 Amazon cash to use on a future camera purchase
10% cash back on Amazon purchases charged to Freedom card = $140
$25 bonus when you add an authorized user and make first purchase within 3 months
200-500 lens = $1,400
$150 + $200 + $140 +$25 = $515
Final Price = $885 (37% off)
