Black Friday Deals - Kindle

tubemonkey · 11-08-2012, 04:54 AM

There are two Black Friday threads in the Deals forum. One for ereaders and one for tablets & MP3 players. See those threads for category deals and links to Black Friday websites.

This thread is designed to consolidate Kindle deals and make discussion easier.

RSC= RadioShack Coupons - Get $10 Back for every $50 you Spend - offer available from 01 Nov 2012 ~ 05 Jan 2013, but the redemption terms are quite restrictive. You can only redeem one $10 coupon per transaction. See the link above for a detailed FAQ.

This is a work in progress. As ads are posted, new deals will be added.

I was hoping for a $50 card on the Fires. You can get that Radio Shack price with coupons right now. I'll keep waiting...I bet next year they'll be more desperate to get rid of them.

So was I. Right now, these BF deals don't look so hot. Hopefully, there might be some better deals for the online BF sales early Thanksgiving Day.

Last Feb, Walmart was selling the 1st gen Kindle Fire for $199 + free $50 GC. I picked up one and gifted it. Then in Apr, they were selling the Kindle 4 Silver for $79 + free $30 GC. I picked up a couple. Gifted one and kept one. It replaced my K3 and became my primary ereader.

Thanks for pointing it out. I wasn't aware of that. The terms for redemption are quite restrictive. You can only redeem one $10 coupon per transaction. That's downright horrible and makes the RadioShack deals worse than the others. Here's an FAQ about the offer:

Get $10 Back for every $50 you Spend

Edit: I removed the RadioShack deals, because you can get them on any transaction over $50.

Wow. I didn't know the Radio Shack terms were so bad. I never shop there, anyway.

Yep; quite bad. The only time I shop at RadioShack is during Black Friday. The coupons would be pretty much worthless to me, since they'd arrive after BF.

As an amateur radio hobbyist I used to love RS way back when--1960s and 1970s. Now it is little more than a large cellular phone kiosk. I cannot go into a RS any more without being annoyed by a sales clerk wanting to upgrade my phone!

Radio Shack is whaer I just got my Fire HD Spent a little extra for an extra $10 coupon..... this was Tueaday Still havent got the Coupons! Was never told I could only spend the 1 per visit GRRRR & Was Never told they Die on Jan 5th! GRRRR

Just FYI, I saw this in a news article: "Walmart is kicking off Black Friday shopping earlier than ever this year, opening stores at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day."

I saw that too. Pretty soon, they'll have to call it Black Thursday.

LOL! What about the 24x7x365 stores? Won't they be open all day Thursday? If so I guess the sales won't start until 8:00pm though.

Not that it matters, I'm never adventurous enough to go to a Black Friday/Thursday B&M sale! If I can get the deal online then I will consider it. I really would like an iPod touch 5 if I can get a little back on Apple's ridiculous price. Probably wait until January though.

I prefer online also. Did my BF shopping online last year and intend to do the same this year.

Check out the Apple forum. I have a thread there also. Best Buy has the 32GB iPod touch 5 ($299) on sale for $295 + a free $50 gift card. It's a doorbuster and I'm not sure if it'll be available online.

Example: “Bob, I did not know you wore yellow suspenders,” Sally remarked. “Gee, Sally, those are not suspenders. I am wearing yellow underwear today,” Bob revealed. The dialogue above will help produce at least 100 more pages of dialogue. Last edited by dreams; 11-09-2012 at 01:33 PM. Reason: fix link
