The Amazon 10%-off-pocalypse
Watch your emails for a discount code from Amazon. When I was checking my email this morning I found a 10% off code waiting in my inbox from Amazon. The coupon code is valid until December 16, and good for a purchase up to $200 maximum. It should be easy to spot the email since the subject heading said "10% off your next purchase."
Actually discovered I have 2 discount codes. Found one in another email address that receives emails from Amazon. This was for 10% off a purchase of $100 or more .

Re: Amazon Blu-ray Discounts and Deals Thread #5
I received one too but mine appears to be different. Unless I'm missing it, mine doesn't restrict you to a total price; it simply states 10% off of any purchase over $100. I wonder how many different versions they sent out.

I got a 10% off 300 min coupon. Too bad I didn't have this last week when I ordered a ton of Christmas stuff all at once.

Does anyone want my code? I spent $1000 dollars for BF week, 95% of it mostly from Amazon. I'm not spending anymore...anytime soon. Just PM me and the first person who PMs me gets it. I'm not going to use it, though I really wish I could.

Funny. I have like a dozen Amazon accounts (due to a big 2008 promo that I took advantage of). I use 3 of the accounts regularly (helps to separate business purchases), and recently started using 2 others (in order to get free Prime). So you'd think I'd get the promo on at least one of them! But nope! Nada!

I'm eyeing a $700 Nikon lens, so I'd love to get a 10% coupon.

If I end up getting one, I'll send it your way, as I have no further big purchases planned.

Amazing. I haven't had such luck with Amazon customer service this year. I tried to get a $3.79 price drop adjustment this week on an order I recently placed, but which hadn't shipped yet. It was like pulling teeth to get them to do it. I thought that was their standard policy. If it hasn't shipped yet, why not make the adjustment? I would have canceled and re-ordered, but that's the order I used the 5 off 25 on. It was a $200+ item, so I would have thought they'd be more accommodating.

Have to say, the stories of people being banned make me shy away from asking for these types of things.

They can ban me all they want. I just asked if I was eligible for the promotion, if they declined me I wouldn't have gone any further. I have multiple accounts with them anyways so asking isn't a big deal.

I did a chat with them and they gave me 10% off the game in my cart, which pretty much means they added a $3 discount to my account. I didn't complain.

That's why I made sure to word my email so that I wasn't requesting/demanding the discount, only asking if I would qualify for it. If they hadn't given it to me, I wasn't going to press the issue. And as always, I made sure to send them a reply thanking them heartily and leaving positive feedback.

I don't mind when I get something like this after I bought it. What I do mind is when they tell me that I can get it cheaper after I bought it.

As Charlie Brown would say, "I got a rock!" I sent Amazon an e-mail about the 10% promotion and got a boilerplate -- "we encourage you to shop at our Outlet store" or "have a look at Today's Deals." Pffft!
