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 have the hero7
Just saying, I'm glad you figured out your issue (and got a refund) but for me it was definitely the go pro since I have authentic evos
Damn. So those cards that failed my test could have indeed been legit but just bad cards from Samsung themselves and not fakes... Ugh.
GoPro Hero 10 needs to have dual memory card slots and write to two at the same time for reduancy me thinks.
Same here!!
Now that I've purchased the camera, and have the "subscription" it looks like all of the accessories are at least 30% off, and two of them are 50% off.
They've changed the battery again. It is not compatible with the 8. Looking at the specs, the 8 battery is 1220mah, and the 9 battery is 1750mah, significantly larger. They are claiming at least 30% more runtime. bummed my old accessories won't work but happy that it is at least for a good reason.
That there is enough to not make me upgrade.
If GoPro subscription is purchased as part of a bundled camera promotion, customer may cancel the subscription portion of the bundle post purchase and acknowledges they will be charged the full retail price of the camera.
is it mean that you cannot cancel your subscription during the first year and you gonna be automatically changed for 2nd year? and only after that you can cancel?

Worst case though, it's a extra $50 hit for year two (granted they would have to send a bill with the expiring CCN), but about half of that was made up on the additional discount on the accessories. Just some thoughts.
Hero 9 Black $299.99
SanDisk Extreme® 32GB microSDHC™ FREE
1-year Subscription to GoPro: $49.99
When I log in, I see the following:
Hero 9 Black $349.99
SanDisk Extreme® 32GB microSDHC™ FREE
Chatted with their support, at first they said you can't mix promotions. Wasn't trying then pretty much said the price should be $349.99 already having the subscription and and $400 if you don't.
Yes.. once the sub is in your cart, the whole site reflects the discounted prices of accessories. Add everything to your cart and see.
In fact, since future orders have a $50 minimum for free shipping, it encourages you to either buy everything you want now, or hold off so you'll have at least $50 in your next order.

How did you find out Samsung memory cards were fake? I recently bought Samsung 256gb card few weeks back from Amazon. So just wanted to make sure it is legit
If the HERO9 was $400+ by itself like predicted, it's easier to say no it's not worth the difference. If a similar bundle is $400 including the year of subscription, it's more tempting to return the 8 and upgrade to the 9.
*The Costco bundle includes a case which the HERO9 bundle doesn't, but that's not a dealbreaker.
The front screen is nice, and 20mp photos are a big plus... and "30% more battery life" answers my biggest complaint after a week with the HERO8.t
