Elgato Sales FAQ
How big are the discounts during Elgato's major sales?
During peak events like their March Anniversary and Black Friday, Elgato reduces prices by up to 35% sitewide. You'll regularly see 20% markdowns on their most popular Stream Decks, lighting, and Facecams during mid-tier sales like Prime Day.
Do they offer free shipping?
Yes. Elgato provides free standard shipping on all orders over $79 in the contiguous US. If your order falls under that threshold, you'll pay a delivery fee reaching up to $9.99 depending on your location.
Are there discounts for students and military?
Yes. Verified students receive a 15% discount on most hardware via Student Beans. Additionally, military personnel, nurses, teachers, and first responders get standing discounts year-round through the ID.me verification program at checkout.
Do major retailers price match Elgato's website?
Yes. Authorized dealers like Best Buy will price match Elgato's official sales, including daily flash deals. You must request the match through their customer service chat, and the item needs to be identical and currently in stock on both sites.
Where can I buy discounted refurbished gear?
Because Corsair owns Elgato, you buy all certified refurbished Elgato gear directly through Corsair's official website. These units undergo factory testing and generally sell for significantly less than their brand-new counterparts.
Does buying refurbished affect the warranty?
Yes. While a brand-new Elgato product includes a full two-year warranty, certified refurbished units purchased from Corsair only come with a limited 180-day warranty.
Do Amazon sellers honor the warranty on sale items?
Only if you buy from authorized storefronts. Corsair, Elgato, and Amazon.com are the only authorized Amazon sellers. Buying a cheap unit from a random third-party seller completely voids the two-year warranty.
Are digital plugins and software included in sales?
No. Elgato's promotions strictly apply to physical hardware like capture cards, microphones, and lighting. Digital assets from their Marketplace, subscription services, and extended warranties are entirely excluded from sitewide discounts.
Can I use multiple promotions at once?
No. Their system restricts you from stacking multiple discounts. If a Stream Deck is automatically marked down by 20% for Black Friday, you cannot apply an additional 15% student discount on top of that price.
Do they discount newly released hardware?
No. Brand new capture cards and webcams are explicitly excluded from sitewide percentage drops. You will have to wait for subsequent major holiday sales later in the year before a fresh product sees its first official discount.
