Re: $10 off Up and Monsters, Inc. pre-order at Amazon
It depends how they adjust the order. Did they individually adjust the items to prices below $25 before discounts? They did on mine, so my subtotal was $19.98.
However, I called up and asked them to add in 1 of those $5.79 titles which they did pushing myself back over free shipping, so I got $4 back by buying a $5.79 title. Amazon has been pretty cool lately. I don't know if that's because they feel happy with their stock at all-time record highs or something else, but I hope it'll last... especially as they have a distribution center nearby and I usually get my free shipping orders in 1 day.

I was going to do the coupon(s) or rebate(s) type stuff with these, but figured if Amazon worked out well, it will be much less of a hassle.. Ordered and contacted customer service.. now time will tell if I cancel with Amazon and go back to original plan of coupons and rebates..

Re: $10 off Up and Monsters, Inc. pre-order at Amazon
I sent an email to Amazon CS about DISNEYBD promotion code, and they reduced my UP! and Monsters Inc order to 22.98 (From 32.98). My initial order was 44.98, now it is 22.98. Also free shipping. This is a best deal so far for me with Amazon.

Re: $10 off Up and Monsters, Inc. pre-order at Amazon
I ordered Up/Monsters Inc. this morning. I got the $10 combo discount on those plus used the other discount to get Cars with $10 off and free super saver shipping for a total of $42.47.
That's not bad by itself but I then emailed Amazon and asked to apply the "snow white thanks" $10 discount and received the following email...
Hello,
I'm sorry this promotion wasn't applied to your order.
To correct this error, I've reduced the cost of your order by $10. Here is your
new order summary:
Subtotal: $52.47
Shipping & Handling: $4.96
Total Promotions Applied: - $24.96
Tax: $0.00
=============================
Order Total: $32.47
=============================
I hope this solution works for you. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Three Pixar blu-rays for $10.82 each? Hell yes, this solution works for me!

Re: $10 off Up and Monsters, Inc. pre-order at Amazon
Orders shouldn't lose the free shipping when they're automatically price-adjusted to below $25. It's the manual adjustments that people are requesting via email that cause that. In the past I've found that all you need to do is mention that you had free shipping and they're adjustment caused it to be removed when it shouldn't have and that you'd like to get your free shipping back.

Re: $10 off Up and Monsters, Inc. pre-order at Amazon
I think I'll probably not worry about future price drops as I doubt they will be more than $3 from current levels. However, I'm a little bummed paying about $4 for shipping. This begs the question (in case anyone knows from experience)...
Is there any way to add in a $5.97 DVD to my order? I haven't successfully gotten the combine orders function to work for ages, and the last time I tried to combine a single in-stock order with a pre-order, in the 1 minute it took for me to get to the order status page after hitting place order, the single item already entered the shipping stage and couldn't be combined/cancelled.
If I were to put an in-stock $5.97 item + an unwanted preorder into another order, combine it with my Up + MI preorder, and then delete the unwanted preorder, (1) would it let me combine in the first place and (2) would I jeopardize my other discsounts? My goal is to get back over $25 and remove the shipping charges.

Re: $10 off Up and Monsters, Inc. pre-order at Amazon
EDIT: What's funny about this is the discounts vary depending how the rep chooses to apply them. It's almost like being in Vegas and spinning a wheel to see what your order total will be. Perhaps people should post their final totals for the Up + MI combo and we'll see who has the lowest (winning) price... looks like Zombeaner is in the lead (since I would count a $10 future credit as part of this deal).

Re: $10 off Up and Monsters, Inc. pre-order at Amazon
Wow! You beat me by about 50 cents! Seriously, I never expected they'd do it, especially respond this fast. What's weird though is that they changed the promotions and gold box discounts around, so instead of being the ideal $14.50 less than my current order ($10 for the new coupon + $4.50 in price drops), it ended up saving me just under $13.
I just figured out what happened with the extra discounts... they adjusted both to $9.99 for some reason, dropped the gold box discount, and kept the $10 combo discount. However, I'm now getting charged about $4 in shipping since the total is under $25. Too bad I can't add a $6 title into the order to remove the shipping charge. I'd like to ask for that, but do I dare push my luck? I'm afraid the next rep might mess it up and take away the extra discounts.
Now if Up drops below $19.99 or Monsters Inc. drops below $22.99, then what'll I do? Would I dare email to ask for another price adjustment?

How did you word your request? I have tried, and gotten shot down by Amazon for any of the discount requests that have been mentioned here. I would love to get my order down to $22.98. I just may have to see what the Target deal is like with the coupons if this doesn't pan out.

Re: $10 off Up and Monsters, Inc. pre-order at Amazon
My order total for Up/ Monster's Inc was lowered to $22.98 after emailing Amazon this morning about the DISNEYBD promotion. They never emailed me to confirm. I just randomly checked my order online and saw the discount. Still have free shipping. Keep in mind that I was denied all 6 times with the snowhitethanks promotion request. So, I'm going to leave well-enough alone and be happy with this current price.

You guys seem to be having entirely too much fun, so I decided to take the plunge. I sent an email requesting the snowhitethanks discount to be applied. Let's see if it works ... If not, I'm ready to send out another email about the DISNEYBD code.

Re: $10 off Up and Monsters, Inc. pre-order at Amazon
In my case, I felt I really did deserve the DISNEYBD offer in addition to the UP/Monsters Bluray $10 off because I had JUST purchased the Pinocchio BD two days ago when it was a gold box item for $18.99 (a whole dollar off normal price) combined with another order to get free shipping. So I ordered the UP/Monsters Inc combo and sent an email explaining I would like the DISNEYBD since, technically I did order a title from the list. It took about two minutes for my total to from $32.98 to $22.98. Now that's service!

Re: $10 off Up and Monsters, Inc. pre-order at Amazon
Sent my email a little bit ago, let's hope I hear back. Some of you guys are getting some fast responses, nothing on mine yet though.
EDIT: Just heard back, they said I had to pick from one of the films on the list. Now, what do I want?

I emailed to ask about getting an additional $10 discount for the DISNEYBD promotion for my order of Up/Monsters, but got shot down:
Your order didn't meet all of the qualifications for receiving this promotional offer. Specifically, "Monsters, Inc." is not one of the DVDs on the list eligible for this promotion.

Re: $10 off Up and Monsters, Inc. pre-order at Amazon
Thank you guys!
I emailed customer service asking if they could apply the DISNEYBD code to my Monsters Inc/Up order, and within 10 minutes my order already reflected the change:
Since the subtotal is still above $25, didn't lose my free shipping!
You guys rock!

Re: $10 off Up and Monsters, Inc. pre-order at Amazon
I have a quick question. I ordered Sleeping Beauty BD 3 weeks ago. I also placed an order for UP,Monster Inc, and Cars for $42.XX. Could somebody help me with what kind of email i should send to them ?
Should i email to Amazon CS asking them to apply; DISNEYBD promotion code or "snow white thanks" $10 discount or both ? Could someone who already emailed them and got a positive respond share their email with us ?
Thanks to all DVDTALKers.

And more importantly, how did you get there (i.e., to that particular email address)? I can't find where to email them (in any category) to save my life (but go easy on me - I'm in my last trimester and maternity brain fully reigns right now).
