This made the Touch $9, Paperwhite 2 for just under $60, 7" Fire HD for $79, etc. The voucher credit didn't show up until I started the checkout process, but worked seamlessly.
I don't know what triggers the voucher offer-- I'm a Prime member, buy items from Amazon regularly, don't have a Kindle registered to my account (only Kindle App readers), 'buy' a fair number of freebies & a limited number of cash-transaction ebooks, and very little other digital content. I bookmarked the "claim voucher" page, and checked to see if we could get it to work on my wife's Amazon account, but it said her account wasn't qualified. (She has a Kindle registered, buys more cash-transaction ebooks & fewer "feebies" than me, almost no other digital content, and is not a Prime member.)
So.... If you've got an Amazon account, it might be smart to visit Amazon and see if you get the banner offer. (This was a pretty noticeable banner across the top of the Amazon page I was on, but was not a pop-up, so you'll have to watch for it.) The voucher expired at midnight on the 31st (today).
I was tempted for a Kindle Touch for myself (so I don't have to read on my phone), or a toy tablet, but opted for the Paperwhite model for my wife. She uses her Touch all the time, and I think she'll enjoy the upgrade to the Paperwhite (and it'll get me off the Christmas desperation search.....)
