Time to start complaining there are no great deals on media.

hariseldon

Or anything else not branded Amazon specific.,

I guess I'll pick up a couple Gift Cards with Bonus Cash again for the 5th/6th year in a row of getting nothing else.

Josh-da-man

It's the biggest non-event of the year!

E Unit

Dammit, I don't see anything good!?!? FAIL.

As usual, I'll probably pick up non-movie type stuff more than anything else. They'll probably have some kind of Buy 2, Get one Free type of sale for this, with a handful of 4K and Blu sets thrown in during the Lightning Deals.

Here's another pre-Prime Day offer.
Install and visit Amazon Assistant 5 days within 14 to get $10 credit


For new Amazon Assistant customers, please install Amazon Assistant above and click on the 'a' icon in your browser to get started. You can earn your $10 credit by visiting Amazon Assistant five times within 14 days.

Customers will need to visit Amazon Assistant no later than June 17th to earn their credit in time for Prime Day.

E Unit

Just an FYI, this Amazon Assistant is only available on Android devices.

hariseldon

And Windows PC's -- unless the fine print says it's only a Mobile Assistant offer/

I can't find the fine print so that may indicate something

IDrinkMolson

Yeah I have it on Chrome on Win10, and when I tested the link it's available on Edge too.

This assistant thing just hangs for me. I'm not even sure how to tell if it's working.

MooMooMooMoo

I f'd up on that one. The offer is only valid on MAILED gift cards. I ordered a digital card; then read emailed cards don't qualify.............

b2net

I also ordered a non-physical gift card. The offer literally has links to digital (emailed or printed) cards. Which seems very bait and switch to me if it is only physical.



I purchased the middle one (printed) shown below. If they decline my offer, I will be making a major complaint as it was literally a click through from the offer.

There will be five circles, each with a corresponding number. Each day you visit, another circle changes color. It also reminds you how many days you have left.

TomOpus

The assistant will pop-up showing if Amazon has an item you are browsing. Sometimes handy, sometimes a pain. It's also a quick way to check your account orders and such.

Works for Edge on Mac OS.

hariseldon

5 Circles where? I appear to have it running and have clicked on it several times. So far I haven't seen any indication of a countdown or reminder or count up


On the other Gift Card -- I bought a std EGC on my account and got the confirmation of the $10 Bonus (will be added in a day or two) this morning.

I also bought a 2nd Card on my wife's account -- PrintAtHome type. Technically it's her Prime Acct since I switched to her name years ago when she had a Kindle. I haven't heard of anything it registering for it yet, but I did see the PROMO OFFER at check out and it's always worked in the past.

IDrinkMolson

Are you using it in a browser? I just click the "A" in my Extensions and it drops down with this:

The Cow

I 'think' the Amazon Assistant $10 credit is only for the main prime account member. I have the count-up on my Amazon Assistant, but my wife does not have it on hers.

hariseldon

Not on my Assistant page/dropdown on either PC or Phone. I get the top line ADD to List/Orders/ Deals and below that I get items/suggestions, etc
I've signed in and out of my Amazon page and specifically the Assistant several times and no change. I've installed and uninstalled the extension/app as well

I'll assume the "A" in the extension is a small Amazon Logo "a" -- or else something else is different

Not on mine (tagalong) or Wife's (Main Prime)
I was wondering yesterday if it's a targeted offer only for certain users. I'm almost certain it's a limited use offer now.

The other possibility -- I've still on Original Grandfathered Prime and not the new Version. Actually the grandfathering might be the only reason I still have Prime at all
since I added both my kids to it years ago when they were in College so they technically still have Independent Prime Shipping Privileges (and shopping/payment responsibility) on our account

Have you ever received a Benefit from usign the Assistant in the past? I know I got a $5 or 10 reward ??years ago when it first came out

I might be interested in a new Kindle Paperwhite. Assume they'll have Kindles on sale for a decent price; wouldn't mind getting a 32GB so I can keep my collection of .pdf magazines on it.

I was thinking about getting a blue one, but they kind of look like a kids' toy.




Wish they'd make these in more grown-up colors like espresso brown or pewter.

TomOpus

I just use the Kindle app on my phone.

MooMooMooMoo

Have you found an app that makes pdf's formatting readable in Kindles? Calibre doesn't do the job, & they look awful in my 2019 paperwhite if I just dl it to the Kindle.

hariseldon

Not a big fan of reading on tablets vs actual paper, but phone vs Ipad vs dedicated e-reader is night and day in favor of the dedicated reader.
It's the difference between a massive headache after about an half-hour vs no eye strain at all.

MooMooMooMoo

Agree

Even though that is what the fine print states (pretty clearly once I bothered to read it), I got the $10 email today. Apparently the $10 doesn't show up until your first order, at which time it's supposed to be deducted. Hope it works, the 20% discount is why I bought the gift card for myself.

b2net

I as well received my credit. I have yet to add the GC itself to my account. I will do that tomorrow.
