It's a nice little offer - I signed up and re-ordered a bunch of preorders I had for this month.
The 5% back pretty much makes everything a "Quick Pick" deal (5% off). Getting 5% off an already low price is awesome

From the FAQ:
Will my PayPhrase orders be eligible for Free Super Saver Shipping at Amazon.com?
Yes. If your order qualifies for Free Super Saver Shipping, you'll see that option when you preview your order. If you buy multiple items with PayPhrase, and your initial purchase does not qualify for Free Super Saver Shipping, you may still qualify for Free Super Saver Shipping on a subsequent PayPhrase order. Subsequent PayPhrase orders placed within 30 minutes of your initial order will be combined into as few shipments as possible to minimize shipping costs. As you place subsequent PayPhrase orders, you'll see the option for Free Super Saver Shipping and any eligible shipping discounts will be applied at that time.

Sweet, thanks for posting this. I've been ignoring that payphrase thing that's been there for months(?), hope I haven't been missing cashback all this time.

I was so busy ordering stuff before & during Black Friday that I kept ignoring the silly catchprases ( "____'s Valiant Honor", etc.) & had no idea that it was a cashback offer.
There is a $250 limit per customer.
I figure that, if I had used it, I'd be up to $175 or so already.
Another missed opportunity.
Sigh.

Yeah, I didn't pay attention to it, either. Ordered some stuff today, though.

Hope you don't mind Kal, but I've pasting your post to a thread in the Blu-ray Bargains Forum. Lots of people there don't read this forum anymore.

I also passed on "payphrase" when I made a lot of Black Friday orders, sad to say. But yesterday, when I was about to place an order for a computer from Buy.com, I finally looked into it. The only hard part was coming up with a memorable payphrase, but after mulling it over I came up with a really good one. After that it was really easy. 10% off my order works for me.
It was so convenient that I definitely will use it in the future where it is offered. I remember the days of major hassles when trying out "Google checkout" and I would never consider using it again: hated it. But Amazon payphrase was really easy and well designed. I just wish Amazon had more Blu-ray Disc deals as good as the BF ones so I could take more advantage of the payphrase introductory promotion!

I tried to use it to order wallace and gromit blu yesterday and since it was out of stock it would not add to my other order for free shipping. I had to order the other way. Poorly designed it is. I tried again today and gromit is in stock and still wont work with payphrase for free shipping. I don't understand it.

The 5% cashback using payphrase was NOT available on black friday. I contacted Amazon about this and they told me that they introduced this without cashback and then added cashback a few days ago as an addded incentive to get people to use it. Why they are so eager for us to use that instead of regular checkout procedure I do not know.

Maybe the only advantage to them is in the ease of using it at their new checkout partners like buy.com?

To save time for those of us outside the US.
From the terms and conditions only people who reside in the US are eligible for the cash back.

also, just because you used PayPhrase to checkout doesn't mean you get cash back. I think the item has to specifically say "5% cashback" above the PayPhrase button.

None of the items I bought said 5% cashback (they said something like "Express Checkout with PayPhrase") - if you DO use payphrase you'll get an email instantly saying it qualified for 5% back

Before I signed up for payphrase, it advertised 5% cashback above the payphrase button. Now that I'm signed up, I don't see any mention of the 5% cashback anymore. I placed an order, and the email said nothing about the 5% cashback either. Where does this cashback appear? And how do they pay it out? Has anyone actually RECEIVED cashback from their orders yet? Or do we have to wait 60 days like a lot of these online sites...

From the Amazon link:

After each eligible purchase you make, we’ll send you an e-mail to confirm your order. You will also receive an e-mail that includes your PayPhrase CashBack amount, and instructions on how to claim your CashBack Reward, by January 31, 2010.

I didn't get the email, so I guess I won't get it...

I signed up for PayPhrase when I found out about this promotion, but it seems pretty useless as nothing I look at shows the 5% cashback.
Edit: Funny, I deleted my PayPhrase and big surprise now everything shows the 5% cashback. I guess you have to delete your payphrase after each successive order to get the 5% off the next order?

I've been getting it on every single order since I signed up. The only stipulation seems to be that the item has to ship by the end of the year.
