A few months ago when it was announced that B&H (and other online retailers) had to start collecting sales tax for a whole bunch of states, a lot of people weren’t very happy. Of course, it’s not B&H’s fault, however, they decided to do something about it anyway.

Today they’ve just announced a new “B&H Payboo Card“. They’re calling it a “game-changing” credit card, and it’s their solution to sales tax by giving it back to you.
