New GoPro 9 just came out.
Deal only for this week is $50 off the retail price. Includes 1 year of their subscription unlimited cloud storage, free camera replacement, and 50% off accessories. Also includes a 32gb sd card. This is actually a really good deal considering the camera replacement insurance alone is another $50.

For $50 more they also have a bundle that includes several accessories.
The major changes from the Hero 8 are a front-facing screen (like the DJI), image stabilization now includes horizon stabilization, and it can record up to 5k video (vs. 4k)
I just ordered one and will report back on the real differences.

Amazon gave me refunds for the cards even tho one was over a year old and I threw them in the trash.
Next memory cards I buy will be directly from Best Buy via price matching to Amazon.
That seems to be the best/safest solution.
First, if you are already a gopro subscriber, they give you an additional discount on the camera. I am not, so I couldn't see what the discount actually was.
When you check out, they break out the subscription cost (49.99) separately from the bundle cost and ask you to acknowledge it. At first, I was confused and thought they were adding this to the total cost, but when I checked out, it wasn't added. I did have to pay tax, and 2-day shipping was free.

I dont need 5K video but the front screen is a big plus
All action cams are horrible in low light or night time anyway

EDIT: I guess the answer is yes, based on a search in the forum. https://community.gopro
Good deal but the sales tax issue is a major turn-off and deal breaker. It just seems greedy to me, since they technically can send just the sales tax on the discounted price to local government and keep the difference.
I am hoping they fix this issue with the GoPro9.

"In the event that you cancel your subscription before the end of the initial year term but keep your camera, and in so doing, fall below the threshold for eligibility for this offer, we will reduce any applicable refund owed to you by the full retail price of the camera and reserve the right to charge your payment method for any remaining balance owed to GoPro. There is no free trial period and there will be no pro-rated refunds for cancelled subscriptions"
What does it mean when it comes time to renew? You can't cancel subscription before it ends and your subscription will likely auto-renew...so how do you cancel the 2nd year subscription?
I wonder if people did that as they were just frustrated with the gopro 8. Lack of changes and such late release on the media mod. I wanted the front screen but didn't go with dj. Went with the 8 and well. Disappointment. I would hold off to see if they get any of the issues fixed from 7 that carried over to 8.

Otherwise sub $150 osmo action for black Friday is my goal price. Or I would get insta360 one R. One R has the ability to edit via app without downloading the vid. Great way to edit videos on the phone and upload directly to google photos.
