B&H Refunds Sales Tax via New “Payboo” Credit Card

B&H has launched a new “Payboo” credit card that lets you save the sales tax on a purchase at B&H: the amount of sales tax paid is instantly credited to your card (as a reward). This could end up being a huge savings (for example, up to 9.9% if you live in Washington state). The card has no annual fee.

To check the reward available to your particular state, take a look at the B&H Payboo page and click “Check Savings”.

We previously wrote about B&H and other dealers now collecting sales tax to an increasing number of states, as a result of the South Dakota v. Wayfair ruling. No doubt this has been affecting sales at these big online dealers, and this new offering from B&H tries to turn the clock back to how out-of-state shopping used to be.

A reminder that our street price options often do not collect tax on items shipped to most states, so always do check in with us prior to a large purchase.




SanDisk Extreme PRO (170 MB/s) 256 GB for $65, 64GB for $19


The memory card sale continues with improved prices on SanDisk Extreme PRO (170 MB/s) SDXC cards at both B&H and Adorama. These are super-fast UHS-I cards (not UHS-II cards), which is great because most Canon cameras don’t take full advantage of UHS-II speed. These cards are rated to a max read speed of 170 MB/s and write of 90 MB/s.

The 256GB card for $64.99 is an especially good deal with a $28 savings (30%) from the regular price of $93.
