Has Amazon given up on the Special Offers? Not one offer during the month of May.

I think so. It was great while it lasted.

I believe there was exactly one (May 1).

Since then, two or three "local" offers were Amazon related.

They're going to have to change the name of it to "Kindle with Ads" instead of "Special Offers", pretty soon. There is one remaining Special Offer active (if you signed up for it) and it expires in two days.

If there was an offer then, it never appeared on either my Kindle Keyboard or my Kindle NT.

It looks that way. And, it's pretty disappointing. Some of the local deals have been ok, but I don't care about them in general. I'd like to see more Amazon offers, darn it!

I hear you. The idea behind the Special Offers was that they were exclusive to special offer Kindles. If you didn't own one of these Kindles, you didn't qualify for the offer.

As to AmazonLocal Offers, there's nothing exclusive about them. Anyone with an Amazon account can take advantage of them; Kindle ownership isn't required.

Reminder - the video offer in post 1142 expires today. It's the last active Special Offer; and could end up being the last one ever offered.

For the first time since this program started, there are no active offers.

Is it over?

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but I have a question about removing Special Offers. The manage devices page on amazon says that you can unsubscribe and even re-subscribe to special offers. Does that mean once I pay to remove SO, can I re-subscribe if I know of a good deal, and then remove the ads again without paying again? In other words, does paying once to remove SOs enable you turn SOs on/off an unlimited amount of times going forward?

Once you've paid, you can flip back and forth at whim. I do exactly that. I prefer not having the space used up on my home screen, so I keep it off, unless I hear about a good deal on this forum.
Which is not looking to be a frequent occurrence these days.

So, seeing how there are no up to date special offers - does that mean that the kindle screensavers do not display anything? As in, you basically have a Kindle without special offers without paying the extra fee?

Still waiting for my KT SO, so dont mind me asking....

The screensavers display Amazon Local offers or other ads (like the monthly 100 books for $3.99 or less). There just aren't any exclusive SO available.

No, the screensaver still displays ads and AmazonLocal offers. Right now, my screensaver has a Huggies HawaiianDiapers ad that says: "All Tiki. No Leaky."
