New Offer on Connect. - Page 2

BenG · 12-16-2007, 04:37 PM

My sister bought a Reader from Borders. There was a code on the receipt for a $50 ebook credit. The wording made it seem the offer was from Borders, but its probably the same deal as from the Sony store.

I checked my receipt from Datavision (just in case) and no credit code.

When did you buy your Reader? Mine was purchased on Dec. 5. Debating whether to contact Sony (SonyStyle?) to ask for credit in case it was a general offer for all new Reader purchases. Any thoughts?

Certainly worth writing them a quick email...

Hi Guys,
I just purchased a PRS-505 from B&H Photo and as someone outside of the US I would need to be economical with the truth in anycase to qualify.

My understanding from the SonyStyle website was that this was only for purchases from Sony (and Borders perhaps) rather that an offer for all new purchases.

If anyone who purchases from elsewhere does manage to get the bonus $50 offer I will certainly try my luck though.

Dear xxxx,

In regard to your inquiry, I do apologize but after doing further research I have found that the promotion thru Borders, although may seem to be the same as ours it is not. As per our first response in order for SonyStyle to provide the promotion to you, you will have to place an order thru our sales dept. We cannot accommodate this promotion to an item that was not purchased thru SonyStyle.com.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thank you for choosing Sony Style!

Hi Horseyride,
Many thaks for doing the leg-work on behalf of myself and others wondering about this offer. I am not suprised and given how much I enjoy my new Sony Reader I am not even that disappointed. The end result is that I will not be purchasing any content from the Sony store, but will stick to Microsoft LIF format or downloads from this forum.

Thanks and regards,
Marcus

The Borders is the same. A $50 gift card for the eBook Store. I don't see how that could be any different.
