Apparently you actually have to BUY books from Amazon to get these deals. I'll take my non-business elsewhere, thank you!

I guess my 7,000 free Amazon books don't count either

My offer is spend $45, get $30 which is too much for me.

Demingy · 10-24-2019, 12:35 PM

Apparently I already spend too much money with them, I got the message that I'm ineligible.

But they clearly state (in their message) that they will HELP you find your next read! They care about you, and you should be bursting with joy!

Something is bursting, I just don't think it is joy.

^ I think we both ate too many beans!

I thought about asking you what color the beans were, but I was afraid that you might ask before or after.

Wonder how they decide who gets what offer. I got the buy $45 get $30, others on my reading group got the 60/40.

I just went through my wishlist last night and I am already witting down the promo today.

. Couple of books coming out soon so I'll us it for that too. It does not work on pre-orders.

Froide · 10-26-2019, 08:14 AM

I'm curious, too. I simultaneously received both the spend $60/get $40 and this spend $30/get $20 offers.

sufue · 10-26-2019, 10:09 AM

And I got neither

Same here.

Oh, after searching my Amazon email, I found that I did receive a 25 cent promotional credit recently on an ebook that I purchased.

Perhaps the promotion, that is the subject of this thread, is for people who don't buy many ebooks from Amazon. Amazon's computer would certainly spit out my name and account number if that is the case. I _conservatively_ estimate that I spend _at least_ $1,000 per year on ebooks, the overwhelming number of which are from Amazon ($1,000 ÷ 365.25 days per year = $2.74 per day. Yeah, $1,000 is a conservative estimate.)

No promo for me yet, but then, I pretty much never buy a book more expensive than free.
