Re: Amazon Blu-ray Discounts and Deals Thread #27
I know it's a sweet deal which is why I asked about it. I figured it can't be brand new so why hadn't I heard about it before? I figured somebody here would point me to an old thread about this I had missed.
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.

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.

^^^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.

Re: Amazon Blu-ray Discounts and Deals Thread #27
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.

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...

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...

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.
