Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
FWIW I *have* used those PP credits a few times. I just look to see what the current "Buy 4 select items for free shipping" is, see if there are 4 items I'd be willing to purchase at the offered price, throw in a couple of other cheaper items we regularly use, and check out. You'll then get the free shipping and they'll take off a extra $5.99 (sometimes less - I've never figured out just why). I recently did that for 5 candy/snack items and got about $15 worth of stuff for just over $8 shipped, beating local prices by a few $$.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
I'm giving up on these shipping credits anyway. I ordered some digital books yesterday (good sale). Amazon should have used the credits I had accrued but didn't in every case... not for the first time either. I'm tired of having to watch them like a hawk to keep accounts straight.
I guess I'm lucky since I've never had them make a mistake with my digital credits (but I sure wish there was a separate account link that I could monitor to make sure). They don't accrue until the item ordered ships, but I presume that everyone knows that.
I do find that $5.99 pantry box credit annoying because the $1 digital credit is valuable to me. But when I first complained about it CS gave me a $5 digital credit and I've only been hit with three pantry box credits since, so I am still ahead, thus far. Can't complain... too much.

But I like the option of choosing a slower shipping option and being rewarded for it. At times I need something right away, but otherwise I'm happy to wait a few days and receive something extra. Just not pantry credit.

I'll be damned, I did not know that. The two books they did not use credits on were sold by HarperCollins and Macmillan. I think you just identified my problem. Thanks.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
I've had no issues with the $1 credits, though I wish there was an easier way to keep track of them. I don't pay much attention to the expiration dates, instead I just try to use them on a regular basis. I had a conversation once with a CS associate about credits I had and they told me when they would expire (some on one date, some on another date). I asked how I could look that information up myself and they indicated there wasn't a way to do so.

I do use the credits, but when they offer me pantry credits, I just choose fast shipping.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
The cynic in me is sure the lack of available credits tracking is all about expecting you to complete the order first, only then finding out you didn't have the necessary credits to cover the purchase. And then they bank on you not caring that they either lost your credit, or it expired. Either way you're unlikely to make a stink for such small amounts.
I currently have at least one $1 credit for purchasing music CD's, but I doubt I find an MP3 worth buying to use the credit. And the last time I did buy one thinking I had credits available... oops, oh well.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
The e-mail notification says when that particular credit expires, but you can't really track which ones you still have and when they expire. Heck, I wish there were even an easier way to see how many are there. It used to show near the MP3 buy button but I haven't seen that in a while. I rented a movie the other day and hoped I had credits, but I didn't.

It isn't exactly easy but I go to Amazon Video and pick and item I don't own and isn't included with prime... click on it, then the "more purchase options" link, then "Redeem a gift card or promotion code" link. You should see balances. Kindle editions are not listed but I only have shipping promo credits and they apply to books so...

You can see how many MP3 credits you have by going to a non-prime Amazon Video. There will be a link above the "Add to Watchlist" button that says "Redeem a gift card or promotion code". Clicking on the link will bring up the MP3 Credits you have available. Note: Right now the link isn't working properly.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
My only dislike about the expiration date, is I receive an email about expiring credits like a month or longer before they expire. Would be nice if Amazon was a little clearer about these credits and so forth.

Using that method I recently discovered I have 7 "software/video game or Android app" credits in my account. I have no idea (or forgot) how those were earned.

Why is there no "your new balance is.."-type annotation, so you know what the balance was bedore making transactions or additions..? And why does there not even appear to be this function for the company dealing with it all...? (Or ia it odd to think that ought to be in place?)

This-ish. The link is: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/?docId=1000811661#gc. and it gives you a "balance" button that shows your balance for: Gift Card / MP3 / Video (usually identical) / Kindle / Software & games.
No expiration dates, but then (again) even Amazon doesn't seem to keep track of how much of your credits expire when, just "some" and "some"...... until they expire and then the system calculates it exactly and takes it back.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
Nothing beats the time when I made four orders/near-orders within five minutes - one by phone, two computer. Phone with Chrome gave me a $1 mp3 credit; computer with Firefox gave me Pantry, so I tried Internet Explorer on the computer and it offered me nothing. So I checked Chrome, and it removed the no rush shipping option entirely... very strange!

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
The books can be either published or sold by Amazon Digital Services to qualify for the credits. And yes, I've been getting alternate options at checkout between those and the Pantry, which I don't use.
Maybe it was some promotion that was posted here.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
That is correct. If you earn a "digital credit" it can be used towards a ebook, MP3, or video rental/purchase - or at least they *used* to do that. My current balance also shows $0 Kindle Editions ($42 MP3/Video) so maybe the current terms don't include ebooks. I've not really looked as I use all my credits to "purchase" Warner Archive titles digitally rather than purchase the MOD. Over the past year I've gotten ~$175 or so by ordering *everything* as single orders and selecting "slow boat" shipping. Several times I've ordered a ~$2 book for my granddaughter and gotten a $1 credit. Also lots of $4-$5 DVD/BR titles.

Update... I now have $10 in "software/video game or Android app" credits. I *have* ordered some Skylanders figures for my grandson and have a couple of video games "ordered" but not yet shipped. Since that first post 2 or 3 of the Skylanders figures shipped so maybe it's tied to those?

You are receiving this credit because you selected No-Rush Shipping on your recent Prime order. You can use this $1 credit towards eligible Kindle Books, Amazon Appstore apps, Amazon Music downloads, digital video game or software downloads, or the rental or purchase of eligible movies or TV shows from Amazon Video.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
I just checked email and read one of those "Your Amazon.com Promotional Credit" emails. Here's part of what it says:
Looks like those "software/video game or Android app" credits are coming from the "slow boat" shipping. The odd part is there are *no* Kindle credits shown on my balance.

I agree that Amazon needs to fix this but I'm not holding my breath.
