Bunkaroo, that's the same thing that happened to me over the summer. I hit the $500 mark pretty early and I had to write emails to customer service. I continued to receive the 10% off until last Monday but it was much harder to take advantage of since one email per order was involved.

I'm surprised they kept giving it to you. I thought they wanted to limit people to $500 max on the discount.

Is this $500 thing real or just someones speculation? There is no way I even came close to $500 in discounts.

It seems like a lot of people had it end on or around 1/1/08 (was this the magical date of it stopping?). Should I be contacting Amazon to continue getting the discount?

When the offer was extended a year ago we were told that the discount would last to the end of 2007. My discount has disappeared and there is no way I got anywhere near $500. This is the text of the message I got from Amazon:
Hello from Amazon.com. We had recently enrolled you in our 10% off on HD DVD and Blu-ray disc purchases for one year promotion, and we hope you are enjoying this exclusive offer. Due to the overwhelming popularity of this promotion, we have extended the 10% sale offer through December 31, 2007.

Although you won't see any promotional messaging on our Web site, the discount will continue to be automatically applied to qualifying orders through 2007. Please note that it may take up to 72 hours for the 10% discount to be active on newly released DVDs. If you are purchasing a newly released DVD and don't see the discount, please try again in 2-3 days.
Anyone who still has the discount is benefitting from a lucky glitch.

For those that still have the discount, I think that perhaps it is due to items that were flagged as being part of the 10% off still being flagged as such and your account still being marked to get it.

If any new additions to amazon (like Unbreakable on Blu-ray) end up showing up with the 10% off, then I think something odd is going on .

Still getting the discount so I tried it with Unbreakable - discount still working.

Probably just because Amazon likes me better. Didn't realize I still had it until I place an order today. I would guess I don't have much longer.

Funny twist:

I cancelled a few pre-orders (in the wake of recent events), and it seems like that freed up some discount dollars for me.

I placed a couple of new orders and got the full 10% on one and then a little less than 10% on the other, and the nothing on the third order.

FWIW, it's still dead for me, but I check it quite often.

Haven't ordered any HD movies for a while, but just did and got the 10% off. Anyone else still getting the discount?

I believe a few others are. Enjoy it!

As recent as two weeks ago, I had to cancel my pre-order for Before The Devil Knows You're Dead and replace the order since the updated date didn't kick in on my order. When I replaced the order, the partial discount left over from the previous order showed up again.

Still getting mine 10% with no issues. It helps to offset the ridiculous shipping cost to Canada.
