How to Get a 30% Discount on GoPro Hero 4 Black

I bought a GoPro Hero 4 Black for $383 and three extra batteries for another $46 by purchasing discounted Zumiez gift cards. This is a pretty great shopping hack to get a massive discount. It will actually work for the Hero4 Silver and Hero3+ Silver as well.

Discount gift cards are available all over the Internet, so I analyzed which retailers’ gift cards have the largest discount, and also carried GoPro gear. It turns out you can get Zumiez cash cards for 30% off, which effectively cuts the cost of a Hero 4 Black from $500 to $350!

Edit: apparently this post created enough demand that the top discount is now 22.5%. Still a good deal though.

Note: you’re taking a slight risk for the time between ordering the gift cards and before you order the GoPro. What if Zumiez sells out? What if they won’t ship to your address? The risk was worth it to me.

Here’s the process:

1.  Visit Zumiez and put the gear you want into your cart. Click here to go straight to their GoPro stuff.

2.Zumiez Checkout  Start the checkout process to find out what your total will be after tax and shipping (Shipping is free right for large purchases right now.)

3.  Visit CardPool and purchase the required amount of Zumiez gift cards. The discount varies based on demand. You can use multiple gift cards for the purchase during checkout, so try to get printable or electronic cards, but you might not be able to get the exact amount. If you get physical gift cards you’ll have to wait a few days before the next step, while you wait for the gift cards to arrive in the mail. Most gift card resellers guarantee the cards that they sell, which is nice.

4.  Go back to Zumiez and finish the checkout process using your new gift cards.

You’re done!

Enjoy your new GoPro, and be sure to tell your friends about this trick. Here’s my order confirmation!
