Special Offers list

[katy32]

I thought it might be nice to have a list of special offers people have taken advantage of or seen on their special-offer kindles.  
So far I have seen
$10 for a $20 amazon gift card
$1 for 1mp3 album
$10 for $30 for amazon denim shop

[Me and My Kindle]

Yeah, some of the special offers are really enticing. And the screensavers have some amazing images!  Check out the pictures on Amazon's page for the "Kindle with Special Offers"...

I think some people might get Special Offers Kindle to get away from the dead authors.   

[Luvmy4brats]

The first offer was buy a bestseller (from a list of 48) with your Visa card and get a $10 Amazon credit. The books ranged in price from $3.82 to $9.99

I must admit, the ads screensavers look a lot better than the dead authors IMHO.

[Flechette]

While I have gotten and answered the offers for the $1 mp3 and $10 for $30 demin, I have not gotten the final email with the offer, just the "we'll email you in 7 days" notification

Anyone actually fully purchase the $1 mp3 offer?

[katy32]

Anyone actually fully purchase the $1 mp3 offer?

Not yet, still waiting for the magic code

[Flechette]

Got it at 6:11pm EST  - I should have complained sooner

[Matthew W. Grant]

I had no ideas the special offers would actually be useful like that - 10 dollars for a 20 dollar gift card.  That's awesome.  In this case, that's really targeted advertising too.

I wonder if they have plans for the future to have the ads match your reading, the way Gmail has ads that match the content of your emails.

That would cause a lot of concern over privacy issues, but at least you wouldn't see ads for items or services you would never use.

Oh heck yes.  If I'd known this, I might have bought one already!

[MichelleR]

Yep. I also did the $20 for $10 gift card.  I might do the denim shop.

[katy32]

I did the $1 for the mp3 album yesterday, true to amazon's typical service it downloaded easily and I'm enjoying it already.  I'm so glad I bought the special offers kindle, I hope the great offers keep coming

[Flechette]

I want to consult w/ hubby before I used th mp3 one - there may be an album he's dying to get and didn't mention to me where as I'm okay with several different choices.

Got the final Amazon Demin email today.... unfortunately all 3 pairs of jeans I had my eye on, and are at least Prime Eligibile, do not accept the coupon code.  I thought Prime Eligible would be the same as fulfilled by Amazon, but it seems not.... drats.  Tried going thru the demin store but being a large size person - there's not alot of choices - or at least everything I've seen I didn't like~

[Flechette]

And Todays new Special offer is 50% off Roku player 

I think my Tv and bluray player already do most of this but I'm willing to look into it.

[TraceyC/FL]

Oh man, I'd do the 1/2 off the roku!!! I don't have HDMI on my tv so I can't buy a new appletv.


Stupid water heater and ex that won't pay his 1/2 of the bill. 

[meljackson]

I'm definitely taking advantage of the Roku box offer! We have the original box but have been wanting a second box for awhile now and they are so much better now Love this SO kindle!

I'll be taking advantage of the Roku offer as well. I saw this on my Kindle this morning, and looked up the Roku on Amazon's site when I got to work because I had no idea what a "Roku" was. This would be great for me...now I can get rid of my cable box, which I'm paying $80/month for and hardly ever watch it.

[tubemonkey]

So far, I've taken advantage of all four of the previous offers. As soon as the promo code for the Roku arrives, I'll get it also.

Amazon has been releasing these promos every four days, so the next promo should drop on the 17th. There are only two more left on the initial offerings list: $6 for 6 Audible books and $100 GC for Amazon Rewards Visa Card. Don't need another credit card, but most definitely want the audiobooks.

There is also a 50% off the lighted cover coming up soon... I saw the ad when I was poking around the system file.

The only offer I haven't taken advantage of is the denim shop one... I probably should have. But I'll be getting a Roku for the kids tomorrow and the Audible books when they pop up

[Atunah]

I am wondering how long they will keep those offers for that Kindle, especially the Roku. Not ready now, but maybe in a few month to replace Hubby's K1 with a new K3. Would be nice to know if those same offers are still part of the deal then. The Roku is the one other than the Gift Card I would be able to use.
I stream Netflix on Wii right now, but I like the Roku better from what I am reading.

The lighted cover would be great (as a gift).

Did you request the promo code for the Denim Shop offer? If so, you have until Jun 12th to use it.

Most of these offers have two deadlines. The first one is a request for the offer (usually just a few days after the offer first appears) and the second one is the expiration date for the offer itself.

On my KSO, the Roku offers reads:

Click "Email me this offer" below before midnight (PDT) May 16, 2011 to receive an email with your promotion code and details on how to redeem this offer.

My guess is that if you miss this deadline, you won't be eligible for the Roku offer; even though the offer itself expires Aug 16.

[Atunah]

So unless I buy a KSO before the 16th, I would be out of luck then. I guess we will wait longer then. Not in the budget this month.

I don't know for sure. I'm only speculating based on these "claim by" deadlines. If so, they may offer some of these again.

Right now, these offers are being released every four days. I'm not sure how long Amazon can sustain this schedule.

[emathieu]

I'm definitely looking forward to getting the email for the 50% of the Roku.    Loving the KSO so far.  I've taken advantage of every offer except for the credit card and the denim shop so far (may end up using the denim shop one).
