Got an Amazon Gift Card? Buy a Dash Cam!

Got an Amazon gift card sitting in your purse or hiding underneath the mountain of papers in your cluttered junk drawer? It’s time to go shopping! No, we’re not talking about that ginormous inflatable green dinosaur, we’re talking about a dash cam!

You can easily find dash cams as cheap as $50 on Amazon’s Bestseller list, but can they be trusted? While dash cams are not considered a huge investment, your vehicle is and ensuring its safety whether parked or on the road is a serious task - that’s why it’s always better to buy from authorized dealers and trusted brands, like BlackboxMyCar.

But we know how much everyone loves Amazon, and we also know you really, really want to use that gift card towards a new dash cam - so, what are you waiting for? Head on over to the BlackboxMyCar store on Amazon?

Now comes the million-dollar question: Amazon store vs. BlackboxMyCar.ca - which will get you a better deal?

Say, you want to buy the 4K dash cam by BlackVue, the DR900S-2CH.

At the time of this writing, the BlackVue DR900S-2CH is priced at $499.99 on BlackboxMyCar.com, and it gives you the front and rear cameras, a 32GB microSD card and the Power Magic Pro hardwiring kit. You can pick up the same setup from the BlackboxMyCar Amazon store at the same price, but with a smaller 16GB microSD card.

So, just going by price alone, it’s difficult to say which one gets you a better deal. Now, let’s to look at the other benefits you get from each place.

We are talking about Amazon here, the biggest online retailer, so there has to be some benefits shopping with them.

If you have any Amazon gift cards or credits lying around, you can use them towards paying for your dash cam instead of putting the entire purchase onto your credit card.

If you’re planning on sending a dash cam to your nephew or cousin across the continent, you can take advantage of Amazon’s This is a gift option. When selected, Amazon will allow you to add a free personalized gift message with the parcel. Amazon will also make sure no pricing information is sent along to your gift recipient.

If you are using Flipgive, Rakuten or other rebate or fundraising programs, your purchase on Amazon may earn you a few dollars.

Premium dash cams come with a heavier price tag and paying for it in one transaction may be out of many’s budget.
