Looks like the deal is going to happen again on Amazon at 12 PM PST / 3 PM EST. It's on Walmart.com now too.

I canceled rather than bothering with CS. I just barely wanted the damn thing anyway.

Safari. I just went to the lightning page and kept refreshing until it popped up. It was never slow or even delayed. Couple of clicks later and it was done.

I clicked through the second the deal started, the site was slower than Amazon usually is, and my order totalled $199.99 after checkout was complete. No -$0.01 so I guess I didn't get in.

Yeah, it was wierd for me, it was added to my cart with the discount, but then the final screen didn't show the 1 cent discount anymore, so I assume that I missed it too.

I bought it anyway, and sent an email asking for the promo. They replied pretty quickly with an, "ok, you'll get the penny off and the $100 promo in an email within a week".
Big thanks to whoever bumped this thread with the 2nd deal. I saw it here and immediately went to Amazon, and the deal was just starting. Perfect timing.

I did the same things pretty much. Clicked buy as soon as it when live. Initially, my order said $199.98, but was up to 199.99 when I got to the final purchase page.

I'm not too worried about it, because I'll be refusing shipment if I don't get the deal. A lot of people commenting at Amazon are pissed about it though, and I'm certain that customer service has been flooded with calls/emails today.
The bottom line is, if you click through to purchase an item from the deal page, and it lets you check out 30 seconds later with no notice that the deal has expired, then you should get the deal.

I emailed them right after ordering as well, but haven't yet received a response. In the meantime, my order has gone into a "shipping soon and cannot be cancelled" status. Despite the fact that it says estimated delivery date Nov. 12, and despite the fact that I'm a Prime member.

I had moved mine from prime to the somewhat slower shipping just in case. Guess I can move it back to prime now, not that it really matters.

I got a response from Amazon saying that they checked my order and it did not qualify for the promotion. After complaining again, I have now been bumped to the "Marketing Team" who is working to correct the problem.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
I canceled mine right away. I figured Amazon would be putting them is "shipping soon" status to try and avoid the mass cancellation after people realize they didn't get the $100 credit. They're probably hoping some people won't go through the hassle of sending it back. You can never trust their shipping dates they list, especially with free shipping.
I'm just looking to upgrade so I will wait and see if they run a special again before Christmas.

Classy move by Amazon though.
You've got to hand it to them... every once in awhile they muff something but they often go above and beyond to make their customers happy.

Good deal at Best Buy for RewardZone members, courtesy of CAG:
Text Gamer to 332211 to opt in for promos and discounts. They'll send you back a confirmation and then later send back this message:
Best Buy RZ Gamer Deal:Show this msg & save $20 on Xbox Live Card. SKU: 9636222 Expires 11/14 RZ Members Only Limit 1.
Show that to the CS and you get a year of Xbox Live for $30. It works with both the 12+1 Month card and the CoD MW2 mini-box that contains a 12 month card and a MW2 t-shirt (XL). Got one of those at lunch today.
Note: You could also just text that message to yourself and it would work fine as well.
