Keeping what's left and what's not credited yet in reserve in case there's stuff I might want in daily deals and other offers between now and end of January.
It's all carefully planned

Four of mine shipped today with another two supposedly shipping

I've just placed another two orders for £4.60 each and they qualified too

At this rate I won't be paying for any new releases until February

I am so jealous. In the US we still have the Prime Pantry credit.

I am going to have to order one of my items I usually get with slow shipping soon before I run out.

I'm Jealous too ! I don't use the Pantry credits, I looked into them once and I thought there was a $6 flat shipping rate to ship Prime Pantry boxes. That would use up the credits, maybe they changed it since then.

There is $5.99 shipping charge, which is why I think they are offering the credit. This way you don't have to pay for shipping - since I am a Prime customer I'm not used to paying for shipping and I don't want to pay. The items available for Pantry are usually much cheaper though.

The £3 no rush digital credit is still on

I don't suppose anyone knows when it will finish? I think I've run out of things to buy

Having said that, I grabbed some batteries earlier at a deal price of £2.99 and got the credit

We're *still* stuck with the Prime Pantry credit here in the US. This credit never lasted so long before. Maybe they're keeping it because they don't want anyone choosing slow shipping for some reason now? I would have thought they would prefer slow shipping during the holidays.

I went ahead and got my vacuum bags and getting the pantry code. I have some stuff I need that for some reason is only available in prime pantry, so at least I don't have to pay for the pantry shipping then and its like regular prime.

Hopefully we'll get digital promos soon again.

Yolina · 12-07-2015, 03:15 PM

Gah, I have a bit of a nightmare... the tracking has gone haywire on one of my shipments - I have received it, but their system thinks it's been lost by the carrier. There were 10 items in there, each a separate order. I already contacted CS via chat on Sunday to let them know, but I still keep getting notifications that it's lost. I don't really want to call them given that even via chat they had trouble understanding that the package had actually been delivered

Edit: after 20 minutes on the phone

I think it's sorted now, fingers crossed.

I hope you do!

All 7 of my orders have finally shipped and I got the £3 credit for each one, only issue now is they are all due on Thursday and I'm at the hospital in the afternoon

I know. I wonder if it will be on until Christmas, they must be swamped with orders. I pre ordered the new Man from Uncle film, due out on the 9th and it's shipped already

I'm sure it'll be there before Thursday (unless you've been really unlucky and they've used Hermes for that delivery in which case it'll probably be next week

)

No idea what they're doing with the orders... I think it's full panic mode in there (and I feel sorry for the poor sods). Stuff I ordered last night shipped this morning. And yes that was with no rush delivery.

And I've found more stuff to order... looked through their vouchers section. I got some shampoo with 25% off which made it £3.97 and then obviously £3 digital credit. Did the same with conditioner

and to top it off, it looks like these vouchers aren't limited to single use as I was able to select them again for the same items so I might order some more tomorrow

Yolina, it looks like it's gone today, back to £1

Yolina · 12-08-2015, 08:22 AM

Ah well

no extra stock of shampoo and conditioner for me then

Still, it was great while it lasted, I've spent a grand total of £260 on 42(!) no-rush orders and accumulated £126 in digital credits - not a bad result
