Huh. I never saw that offer on my Kindle, and I'm usually pretty good about looking for them in a timely manner. Boohiss, as that was an offer I'd actually use!

Finally my offers ran out I will keep watching to see if anything is worth catching.

$5 for $10 Amazon Gift Card Offer expires March 21. One per household.

Yes! I snagged that one quickly so I wouldn't forget later.

nevermind

toadhall · 03-20-2012, 03:52 AM

Yeah, I'm outside US and didn't get this one. Too bad.

It's a good offer, but it's not a Special Offer. It's an AmazonLocal offer and available to all Amazon customers (US accounts only). Kindle ownership is optional.

I ordered my GC from my desktop.

AmazonLocal

Do you have a US Amazon account? If so, then you can get this offer.

toadhall · 03-20-2012, 04:01 AM

Oh you're right! I can get the offer. I thought the website would have IP blocking or something but apparently not. I didn't want to go through the hassle of using a proxy just to get it.

Thanks for the heads up, tubemonkey!

Anytime; and I'm glad you got it.

toadhall · 03-20-2012, 04:14 AM

Yep! Bought it and redeemed it. Free $5 is always nice

TimW · 03-20-2012, 06:27 AM

Amazon certainly "idiot-proofed" the process. After opening the email and clicking the link a page pops up, reading:
1. Copy your code below. (Click the "Copy" button to save it to your clipboard.)
2. Click here to open your Amazon.com account, paste code and click ‘Apply to Your Account’. Once you apply the code to your account, your Amazon.com Gift Card amount will be deducted from eligible orders during checkout.
3. Enjoy the savings!

I don't even have to bother with copy/pasting the code or hunting for the correct link on my account. I, for one, welcome our robot overlords!

Thanks for the heads-up, Monkey.

I bought it right from my Kindle (after it decided to reboot, grrr)

Hmmm well it didn't show up.

Did you get an email confirmation? If not, try this:

go to AmazonLocal --> Your Vouchers

booklover6 · 03-20-2012, 06:53 AM

It was a credit card issue. All fixed, now, to spend!
