Unfortunately the site where I originally saw it had very little discussion and I wasn't able to cause any more. It's almost worthy of its own thread, I guess... $14.99 Amazon credit for a digital copy of MI:GP which I was never going to use anyway.

Is this still going on? It would be worth buying the BLU/DVD/DC of MI4 for $9.99 ($9.49 currently in my gold box) to get $15 Amazon sv credit.

AFAIK it's still valid. This offer is not something from Amazon but from Paramount for your digital copy codes. Look here for info: http://www.paramountdigitalcopy.com/

And as stated before, you only get Amazon VOD credit to buy that specific title. I once foolishly thought it could be used for anything or VOD rentals. And if you have leftover credit from buying your specific title on sale, you can't use that credit for anything else. You have to keep really good track of your Amazon VOD credits because of this. Supposedly you can get iTunes credit too. I got a few movies but haven't gone through all of my discs yet as I'm hoping Paramount will keep this going for a while.

People should know both of these discs are available at Walmart in a display for $5 apiece. Amazon is never that competitive with Echo Bridge BDs on pricing against retail stores.

I emailed them about it, and they credited me $4.91. Should have been $4.97. I don't really care about 6 cents, but I found that odd...

^^^I got a $4.97 refund e-mail for Once Upon a Time: S1 early this morning and didn't even know they had lowered the price. They didn't send me the usual price match e-mail, just a refund notice.

Edit: Turns out that I got an earlier e-mail at 3:30 AM that was the standard price match guarantee version.

Coupon plus price match refund made for a decent deal for a new release TV season on BD: $24.99

Blind Buy for me, no idea what I am getting into.

Lizard, you got OUAT S1 for $39.99 from Amazon minus a $15 coupon? I don't remember reading that Amazon had the same $15 coupon promo online... did I totally miss that?

If I remember correctly, Amazon did a $15 off coupon when the OUAT listing first came out.

Yes, I placed my order on May 14th after the coupon deal was first announced by IDrinkMolson here. I then set a calendar reminder to cancel it a few days before shipping unless it came down some more but decided to let it stand after reading reviews and seeing that the market price was still pretty high. The $4.97 price match drop was a bonus.

Do you know when exactly Amazon dropped their price to 39.99? I've tried looking at camelcamelcamel, but can't find it. I contacted Amazon for a refund of the 4.97 but they rejected it, even though there is no reason to reject it. I'm trying to get exact dates so I can send them the details.

No, I'm not sure when the price dropped. I'd suggest that you contact them again and include the text of the e-mail that several of us received:
Greetings from Amazon.com.

You saved $4.97 with Amazon.com's Pre-order Price Guarantee!

The price of the item(s) decreased after you ordered them, and we gave you the lowest price.

The following title(s) decreased in price:

Once Upon a Time: The Complete First Season [Blu-ray]
Price on order date: $44.96
Price charged at shipping: $44.96
Lowest price before release date: $39.99
Amount to be refunded: $4.97
Quantity: 1
Total Savings: $4.97
Edit: The price change was four days ago, 8-27-12.

Now they credited me ANOTHER $4.97, so I got $9.88 in credits! Combine those with the Gold Box discount, and I paid only $17.83 for mine!
I feel slightly guilty about the double-credit, but it was their mistake... They should have seen the other credit on the order already...
It makes up for another time when I legitimately should have been given a credit, but was denied, and I didn't pursue it...

From my history with Amazon they wouldn't take the extra credit back anyway, even if you alerted them about it.

The Blu-ray deal of the week is The Forever Marilyn Blu-ray Collection for $41.99.

I was thinking I would have to wait until Black Friday for a good deal on this one, but that price is definitely good enough for me to bite.
