Amazon Buy 2 Blu Get 1 Free Sale

Amazon is having a Buy 2 get 1 Free blu ray sale but when you click on link no movies show up. Even if you put three in cart it doesnt show up as being a sale. I placed order and then sent email with link below stating it says any blu ray can be purchased as part of sale. Got response a few hours later and they said they corrected it for me. Checked order and they did take cost of one down to 0.

You can try and see if it works for you. for the contact type you gift card/promotions option.

I don't think this is the same thing. I just received an email yesterday about a buy 2 get 3rd free deal. And yes, I received an email about that previous bargain as well.

But when you click on the link to the new email, the page it sends you to says:

Blu-ray 3 for 2 Sale

For every two Blu-ray titles purchased, get a third one free when you add them all to your Shopping Cart. Go to the Blu-ray store
This makes it sound like it's on any Blu-ray. But I take it these type of deals don't usually include pre-orders, even if those titles come out the same day.

Its over. Fox dropped the price on many catalog titles so Amazon nixed the deal.

I preordered the Godfather giftset, the Ultimate Unrated Comedy Collection and the Austin Powers Collection. No discount showed up during checkout, so I sent an email and in response they removed the cost of the Austin Powers set. Order total: $115.90.

Here's the email response I got:

Hello from Amazon.com.

Firstly, I would like to apologize for the inconvenience caused due to this
matter.

I do understand your concern regarding the promotion of "Buy 2 get 1 Free" for
your order for the items were not applied.

1.Austin Powers Collection: Shagadelic Edition Loaded With Extra Mojo (BD)
[Blu-ray]".
2.Ultimate Unrated Comedy Collection (Forgetting Sarah Marshall / Knocked Up /
The 40-Year-Old Virgin) [Blu-ray]
3.The Godfather - The Coppola Restoration Giftset (The Godfather / The Godfather
Part II / The Godfather Part III) [Blu-ray]

I have researched your order and found that it was eligible for the promotion.

To correct this error, I've zero-out the cost for the item "Austin Powers
Collection: Shagadelic Edition Loaded With Extra Mojo (BD) [Blu-ray] ".

So, you will only be charged for 2 items.

I hope this solution is satisfactory.

I had one big order with 12 pre-orders (convenient number). Anyway, I canceled that order and broke it up into 4 separate orders. Nothing was taken off my order, but I sent an email and now each one of those orders has one free Blu-ray. So, I'll be getting The Third Man, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Iron Man and Sukiyaki Western Django for free. I like this deal.

Guys, the link was originally for the Fox/MGM sale but if you place an order, then send them an e-mail, they are applying the sale to any blu-rays. It's a mistake and I don't know when they will pull the plug on this.

So what is the deal with this? I tried to call Amazon to find out and the outsourced people don't really have a clue about anything. Can we get a clue? I had already previously pre-ordered both the Godfather Collection and Austin Powers collection. If I could get a third set for free I will gladly cancel them both and re-order with a third set.

Contact Us

Then option says something to effect gift card/....promotional

Then email them with a copy of link showing what the sale is and within a hour or so you should get response back saying they will take off lowest priced item.

I placed a couple orders, one with Box sets, but didn't want to push my luck as one box set would ship out almost immediately and didn't want to take a $200 gamble, so I cancelled that one order.

Places 4 orders, and got adjustments on 3. 2 of these included blu box sets, so i'm not going to press my luck trying to get the 4th. When I log in, the free item shows as 'price not available'

-------------------------

I'm sorry that our promotional offer was not applied to your order.

To correct this error, I've reduced the cost of your following orders:

1) Young Frankenstein [Blu-ray], New Item Cost: $0.00


2) Ultimate Unrated Comedy Collection (Forgetting Sarah Marshall / Knocked Up / The 40-Year-Old Virgin) [Blu-ray],

New Item Cost: $0.00

3) The Godfather - The Coppola Restoration Giftset (The Godfather / The Godfather Part II / The Godfather Part III) [Blu-ray]

New Item Cost: $0.00

I hope this solution is satisfactory and apologize once again for this inconvenience.

Looks like this worked. Ordered 3 blu-ray box sets and sent off an email about the buy 2 get 1 free promotion. Within a few minutes got a reply Amazon would adjust the price for a free title. Checked my order and it already was adjusted, but it has a note on the free title about emailing me about a price approval before shipping. Did anyone else see this on their order after contacting Amazon? That has me a little nervous even though the email says they were adjusting the price for one of the titles to zero.


1 of: James Bond Blu-ray Collection Three-Pack, Vol. 1 (Dr. No / Die Another Day / Live and Let Die) [Blu-ray], $62.95

1 of: Band of Brothers [Blu-ray], Damian Lewis (Actor), et al
Sold by: Amazon.com, LLC (Before shipping, we'll e-mail the price to you for your approval.)

1 of: James Bond Blu-ray Collection Three-Pack, Vol.2 (For Your Eyes Only / From Russia with Love / Thunderball) [Blu-ray], $62.95

In for:

Lost: Season 4
The Shawshank Redemption
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

All come out about the same time so I took advantage of the free shipping as well. Should be right about $100 for all three after adjustment.

Worked for me as well. Placed 4 orders last night, sent off the message, and woke up to a message indicating they'd dropped the cost of lowest-priced item from each order.

However, I also see the "Price not available" message on each of my "free" items. Hopefully this is just some wacky default message.

My orders were:

lost season 4 (66.95)
firefly (62.99)
godfather collection (FREE)

iron man (27.95)
futurama: bender's game (27.95)
young frankenstein (FREE)

indiana jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull (26.95)
baby mama (25.95)
forgetting sarah marshall (FREE)

wall-e (24.95)
sex and the city (23.95)
sleeping beauty (FREE)

I tried one as well. Called the customer service but the guy was pretty unhelpful...he just said he was have the Marketing Debt. call me back when the issue was fixed, so I sent off an email as well. We'll see if this works, I kind of think the promo page is just a placeholder for them to put the actual sales items into later, but it is still worth a try.
