Is Amazon A9 discount dead?

I noticed that the discount is no longer running on their site. I tried using their "A9 web search" to reinitiate the discount but to no avail.

The discount wasn't huge but was worth a buck or two on $100 purchases.

Actually, I signed into my other Amazon account and the A9 discount reappeared. On this secondary account, I have only used it for one order.

I wonder if the A9 discount feature is "disabled" if you use it "too much". I have submitted quite a few orders on my primary account using the A9 discount.

Might have to delete my cookies to see if that works.

It disappeared for me a few days ago, I performed a search on A9, then it reappeared. As of this moment, it's still active for my account. Make sure you were previously logged into amazon.com when you performed the search. If your amazon.com cookie was wiped out, A9 may not be able to properly reference your amazon account.

Didn't I read somewhere on their site that you need to order at least once every month or so to maintain that discount?

edit: Forget that "once a month" thing, because I just checked and that stupid little pi/2 was gone even though I just ordered something last week (when it was applied). So I went back to A9, did a search, and when I went back to Amazon, the little logo was back.

I guess we just have to make sure it's there before placing an order.

yes, you have to keep using A9 in order to maintain the discount

Do you have multiple accounts with Amazon being used on the same computer? If so, you will need to log in to A9 and Amazon with the matching screen name. You can check who is logged on by checking the site welcome at the top right of the screen.

Actually, I only have one account, and I did the searches through Amazon an A9.com as well.

At A9.com, I could see my login details (ie, my name).

I cleared my cookies, but to no avail...

Tried to add in a Harry Potter DVD, but there was no discount.

Amazon's own web search service.
