Yes, of course. Several MR members have gotten the discount. Which one will you be getting?

Is this an indicator of a new model coming?

Possibly. There's some speculation is that we may see a new Voyage soon, but keep in mind that many retailers including Amazon also started their holiday shopping sales on November 1st.

IF they would allow me to make payments ...as I did with the PW2. I would get the PW3 ...sigh But they wont. Don't know why.

Probably for the same reason that other companies don't give you interest-free credit; it costs them money to do so.

Well, start making 'payments' now, and when you've got enough get the PW4 or PW5.

The payment plan is a one-time opportunity for Prime members; after you use it, it's done.

HarryT · 11-05-2015, 07:47 AM

Marty, what do you mean when you ask if it's a real deal? It's on the Amazon web site; surely that proves its validity, doesn't it?

I'm a Prime member and I've never been offered it. Perhaps it's a US-only deal?

Could well be. I only know that once you've used it, you don't get offered it again. As a Prime member, when I look at a Kindle device it always shows as an option, but I've never exercised it.

Well, actually no. I've used it twice. Once for my Fire HD and recently for my Voyage. Maybe once per device?

You got me, then! I was relying on anecdotal evidence, about as reliable as that tends to be.

Cinisajoy · 11-05-2015, 11:46 AM

Ok how much would the payments be?
Put back that amount and in 6 months you can have a new PW.

I once told a person that if they would pay me every week what the rent to own wanted to charge them for a washer, we would buy it outright for them. We said just until it is paid for.
They said no. That would be too expensive.
Said washer new was $300. They paid $1200 to the Rent to Own for the exact same washer except it had been used and returned.
That logic confused me.
So did their it is cheaper to pay $400 a month for rent instead of $200 a year in property taxes and the occasional repair..

Same here. The offers were at least a year apart. Plus you have to have a credit card that's been valid and on the site for a year, I think.
