Did you try this offer? It's open to everyone. The banner is still up, so I assume it hasn't sold out yet.


Amazon Gift Cards -- 14 Oct @ 11:59 pm PT

• FREE -- Amz Gift Cards -- buy $40 GC, get $10 credit --> details -- YMMV

Available for ALL Prime Members -- While Supplies Last

If you buy it diskless, the Purism Librem 14 has 2 open M.2 NVMe slots. It's not sold by amazon and won't ship until December. It also has 2 SODIMM RAM slots.

Purism also is currently selling the 15" Librem 15 laptop, which has a 2.5" SATA slot and a M.2 NVMe slot. Either drive can be the boot drive.

I got the $10 bonus on gift cards, or at least theoretically got it if it shows up in the next 2 days.

I bought my gift card early yesterday morning and got the confirmation email for the credit this morning, so about a 24 hour wait. YMMV

I got the $10 for the giftcard today. I used the previous $10 for buying small business on the Firestick 4k, which got delivered today.

And just now I used the $10 giftcard promo on a air fryer. I wasn't able to find an air fryer on prime deal I wanted, but still got a good deal. It was just a few bucks off and another $10.

I would have gotten a plug, had I been able to find that offer anywhere, but like Monkey says. Probably another sale on those coming up.

Can't really think of anything else I need. The $10 for whole foods was not available to me until today. I mean I was never able to buy from whole foods for delivery in my zip code. Only fresh. But today is too late, I don't need anything there right now and already have a grocery curbside scheduled for Friday. My grocery (HEB) gave us $20 on a $100 order so I went for it. Free meats

I'm done with Prime Day, and at this point I wish I could be done with Amazon. I just tried to use the $10 off $50 for first-time purchase from Amazon Pantry; after filling up the cart, the code was deemed invalid. Why? Who knows, but I emptied my cart because I refuse to call Amazon again; I had to call yesterday to get the Prime Video credit.

I did get the $10 gift card promo--at least I got the e-mail; who knows if it will be automatically applied. My only Prime Day purchases, other than the gift card, was a kitchen mat--since I had to buy something to use the small business promo credit--and a couple of the Prime Video movie channels that were a buck a month for two months.

Bah humbug.

I was able to use the gift card code (2 christmas gifts knocked out with 2 gift cards) and got the promo one for myself today.

I did find that various games were either dropping in price or in the buy $50 worth of games and get $10 off, so I added the Doom boardgame and a pack of bicycle cards and used the promo gift card and $10 promo and got everything for about half the price I'd have normally paid. I'm ok with that.

I was done with Prime Day 3 hours after it started. That's when I did the $10 GC promo.

I made my only hardware purchase on Monday as an early access deal. I purchased 5 Echo Flexes, one of which came with a free LED smart bulb.

That's it. 5 Flexes and $25 in free money.

Personally I didn't do a whole lot of Prime Day shopping for sale items, but I held my breath on a ton of purchases so I could flood the zone on Tuesday. Getting over $15 in slo-mo credits.

So, my summary:

$0.99 subscriptions to Epix and BBC
$175 Kindle Oasis (minus the trade-in discount) for $125
$18.99 a 3rd party Kindle Oasis cover
The get $10 on $40 gift card thing

Also, about 2 hours before Prime Day officially started, the Instant Pot that I had my eye on (the Ultra) dropped from $149.95 to $88.60. It only stayed at that price for about 45 minutes or so and then went back to full price, before Prime Day started.

On Tuesday I ordered two long sleeve v-neck blac t-shirts (Sampeel) and a nightgown, all discounted and used the $10 credit for spending that in Whole Foods last week.

Today I ordered a Fitbit Versa 2 watch that was discounted $50 for Prime Day. It is not the latest version, but I wasn't going to spend $230 for that one. This was $128 today. I put it in the cart before I went out. Been having problems with my iphone charge and apps not working properly. Tonight it recorded only 6 steps, even though I walked 8 flights and .8 mile outside. So I finalized my fitbit order. It will be here on Tuesday, 10/20.

Also ordered more Prince of Peace Ginger Chews, but there was no discount. Just need and want them.

I had the same thing happen with a pair of New Balance shoes - brief drop to $39 (but only black, no change for other colors), then right back to $90 before PD. So PD itself was a bust for me. PC-related gear was particularly sparse this year, though maybe I was too slow and the good buys were already gone.

I got an instant pot for $50! (3 qt size) And the Echo Auto right before Prime Day started. I couldn't find anything else I wanted.

I bought nothing on Prime Day. I would've bought an Ancestry kit or four (since doing a DNA test two years ago I've become fascinated with genetic genealogy) if I could get close family interested in doing a DNA test, but no one bit.
