While this was tempting.. I will wait to see what street date deals are with potential coupon.. If I miss out... then I do....

Worked for me. I had resigned myself to not getting these titles anytime soon. More than happy with 27.48.

Re: $10 off Up and Monsters, Inc. pre-order at Amazon
Success on the coupon the 2nd time around using Canadian Bacon's magic words. I chose the other dept. option this time. The first time I had used the offers and promotions.
One question though... did others who also got the coupon applied get it as a $10 deduction from the order total (that would've been preferable) or did they reduce the price of 1 of the 2 items (which one)? Assuming it's the latter, am I right if the price drops on that item as release date approaches that the preorder price guarantee won't apply since the adjusted price will already be less?
EDIT: Just noticed someone mentioned the price of the Up disc was reduced. Mine was the other. So I guess it's arbitrary, and it'll be interesting to see if Up or Monsters Inc. drops the most in price.

Re: $10 off Up and Monsters, Inc. pre-order at Amazon
Up is going to drop again due to WM's price, most likely. If your up price was lowered by $10 to compensate, you can just call them up and explain. I did it before and they handled it fine. To give you an idea of how bizarre their decisions can be, I just found Monsters Inc in my gold box. I emailed them asking them to adjust my order for the discount. They dropped Up by $1.22. So instead of adding a promo discount, they changed the price of Up, which will likely be erased by the next price drop anyway, so I'll have to contact them again if I care about the dollar. Quite confusing, but this is going to be one hell of a deal...basically two for one on release day.

I just got the email back saying they have lowered the price for both to $27.48 for me. 
Decker, just shoot an email to various different departments a few times and they will eventually do it for you.

Good going!
For those of us who want both of these releases, it'll be hard for any deals that stores may have to beat this price right here. I could see one of them somehow getting down to that wacky $9.99 price that we saw for Snow White, but not both of them.

If either it will be Up since it is a new release. They dropped my Up price to $12.99 instead of the entire order. Here's hoping I'm wrong and Monsters starts dropping.

Re: $10 off Up and Monsters, Inc. pre-order at Amazon
Yeah, it would be up. I saw that Up will likely be $19.99 at Walmart, so that would put it at the $9.99 price point if they release another $0 coupon.
For my Amazon order they dropped the price of both titles in my order to make up for the discounts.

It's interesting that it seems nearly random if Amazon will grant or deny a request like this, and when they grant it they may take $10 off either title or split it between the 2.
So if Amazon drops the price of Up from $22.99 to $19.96, but they already reduced the price in a person's order to $12.99, you're saying you can email them and they'll drop the $12.99 down to $9.96? Seems like it would be another YMMV because you'd think they would see that $12.99 is already cheaper than $19.96.

Keep trying. These reps are mostly in India, and they work different shifts with different supervisors, and random guidance and empowerment. Persistence pays off!

Dumb question - is this only applicable to existing orders? I've not placed an order yet, but would do so if it's still possible to get in on this.

Re: $10 off Up and Monsters, Inc. pre-order at Amazon
I e-mailed the promotions department Sunday and got no response. So around 5 am central time today I e-mail the "other" department. Within 2 hours, both departments took $10 off (one code for each movie.) So my total order is down to $17 and change for both

Re: $10 off Up and Monsters, Inc. pre-order at Amazon
someone at work just told me his Monsters Inc is showing up as $18.99 in their Amazon order (before the discounts calculate the new price)...anyone know why this would be?
Edit: I just confirmed that it does indeed show $18.49 before any discounts taken, you click on the title and it shows the $24.49, but his cart still shows the lower price. He only has the Best Value Savings applied at the end bringing it down to $31.48 (monsters Inc and Up).

I decided to shoot off an email and just got a reply.
Thank you for writing to us at Amazon.com.
I'm sorry to hear that $10 Snow White thanks discount was not applied to your order.
I checked your orders and found that $10.00 promotion was already applied to this orders.
Some promotional offers may not be combined with other offers in the same order. Generally, only one promotional claim code may be used per order, and orders with promotions cannot be combined with other orders. Therefore this $10.00 off promotional discount was not applied to this order.
Some of our promotions are restricted to one claim code per customer, and some require a minimum purchase. I'd recommend reading the "fine print" or visiting the link included with the promotional offer for the specific restrictions associated with the offer you received.
In the case where multiple promotional offers cannot be combined, we will automatically apply the promotion that gives you the largest discount.
I apologize for any misunderstanding. Our promotional claim codes are transferable. Perhaps you know of a friend or neighbor who might appreciate one.
We will be happy to apply this $10 Snow White thanks discount to your order. However, because you are not charged until your items ships, we can't issue a $10.00 refund until the entire order has been shipped. I apologize for this inconvenience.

Re: $10 off Up and Monsters, Inc. pre-order at Amazon
When I emailed them a couple weeks ago about the Snow White Thanks discount they credited my credit card $10 that same day. Not sure why they did it this way, I think it just depends on who you get and what steps they take. It's kind of like a choose your own adventure book.
