I heard back on my email. No refund but they are giving me a promotional credit for $2 in my account that I can use on any purchase.

I got an email back that said they were going to refund $3.98 to my card which is a total refund for the two albums I bought this morning. Strange that they aren't treating all orders the same.

It's typical with Amazon's customer service. It depends upon the CSR and how they handle your problem. I was just hoping to at least get my $2 back one way or another. Maybe I'll luck out and get the refund mentioned at Twitter for another $2.

Looks like the refund is a promotional credit. I was just checking my account and noticed I now have $4 of promotional credit. Edit to add I just received the email from Amazon confirming they added the credit to my account.

Someone posted this over in Hot Deals, but I thought it should be here too. It's a $3 voucher from Amazon Local for free:

Re: Amazon MP3 DOTD Thread (2012)

I bought 4 albums on the 3rd for .99 cents each but I sure had a hard time getting them to download without problems. Every single album downloaded really slowly and each album had at least one or two songs that I had to retry the download because there was an error during the download. It was a pain. I had never had any problems before downloading nor has it ever taken nearly that long to download through Amazon. Anyone else have any problems the other day?

I encountered issues with the downloading that day. I didn't really notice the speed, as it was downloading in the background. However, the next day I checked and there were some tracks that had errors. I just clicked retry and they downloaded without issues.

I think the huge discount probably overloaded their servers somewhat that day.

I had the same issues. I was starting to think it was a problem with my internet connection or something since no one else mentioned it. I purchased 15 albums and it took all day to download them. Often it would say the download failed and would have to retry it over and over. It was difficult to get albums to completely download. I was lucky to get two or three songs at a time from an album to download. Everytime I would retry maybe a few more songs would go through. I probably should have just left them in my cloud drive and downloaded them the next day.

I love this listing. I'm sorry Google, but I really don't think that's a 24 karat gold disc.

edit: n/m. A day later, they've changed the listing in the product description.

Re: Amazon MP3 DOTD Thread (2012)

Today's MP3 Album Deal of the Day is truly impressive : 111 Rock 'n Roll Superhits (The Ultimate Compilation) for $2.99. It's chock full of Fifties Rock n Roll hits by the original artists (Elivs, Buddy Holly, Bill Haley, Everly Brothers, Sam Cooke, etc). It's quite the collection.

Even better if you still have that $3 voucher to burn.
