Prime Day 2018

[cc_in_oh]

Sheesh - everything I'm looking at is "see details" instead of just showing the price. Then it doesn't take me back to the page I was on.

Looks like I can get my 15-month 5-user Norton license for the usual $20 so it's not a total waste...

Its on and off on .com for me. My husband said he couldn't log into his account at all and I can't load anything in the app at all. I did manage to get the first of the $5 coupons, just in case I find something. But when I click on view the prime deals from the app, I get nothing but an ad banner on the top.

I guess they are swamped. Should they not know by now?

I've been trying to search for robo vacuums, but the search functionality is broken Maybe I'll try again tonight. Oh, Amazon.

So far, I have found nothing on sale I have any interest in.

Which is sort of the criticism that was already being made about Prime Day in general a month ago, I was just hoping that the changing prices bug from early June was a testing of code for the Prime Day Sale.

C'est la vie.

I don't know if this is a Prime Day price, but it's a good price--I bought this Neato D80 for $400 last year, and I'm happy with it.

Whatever you buy, I suggest you consider an extended warranty. I've had several Neato and Roomba vacs, and they tend to start having problems right after the manufacturer's warranty runs out.

Thanks. I got it, but I sure hope this isn't the only deal on gift cards. I was hoping to score more than a measly one-time $5 benefit.

Amazon's Prime Day glitch made the national news. I saw it on MSNBC.

Amazon First Reads -- exp 17 Jul @ 11:59 PM PT

Prime Day only, Prime members can download all six Kindle books for FREE.

It worked for me. I was able to download the 5 I didn't have and now have all 6 books.

[badgoodDeb]

Me too. I stuck them in "kindle cloud reader" so there present in case, someday, I want to read them. Thanks!

[elaysee]

I'm recently home from work, and haven't been to Amazon today, but read on a tech site that smile.amazon.com might be working better than the main site. Worth a shot, anyway.

Thanks for the tips! The search function is still down for me, but saw a few "Prime Deals" on robo vacs as 100% taken. So far Prime Day has been a frustrating experience.
