Amazon spend $20 get $5

library addict · 01-24-2019, 08:59 AM

Amazon has a spend $20 on eBooks by Jan 28, 2019, get $5 back in eBook credit.

After 3 years of waiting for one of my favorite author's backlist to be out of Kindle Unlimited, I finally broke down and bought them all last month. So I don't have any particular Amazon-only books I need. Oh well.

Thanks library addict, I don't usually spend $20 on ebooks in a short period of time. I wait for them to go on sale. I'll check my wish list though. I did activate the deal

It's a way to get nearly 20% off (depending on how close you can come with both the $20 and $5 expenditures), so might be of interest with prices that don't budge. But $20+ is a big outlay and you'd most likely be out some cash on the second transaction too. Perhaps for someone with eyes on a recent pricey release?

I wait for them to go on sale and still spend $20 that quickly!

I do have a couple of expensive titles (non-fic) on my wish list that don't seem to go on sale ever, so now I'm debating...although not a huge discount, this is better than paying full price.

Thanks @library addict!

I have a $20 gift card balance and have been eyeing a $23 book on Richard III for months, so this might be perfect for me.

I have two authors I love, both who aren't available at my library. One has a book out that I want the other has a preorder I also want. The orders would amount to over $20; however, preorders don't count

There isn't any other book right now I want that is not available at my library.

Lol, yep. I think I spent a couple of hundred on manga/comics on my wish list this past holiday sale and even then, I still have hundreds of items remaining on the wish list.

Unlike novels, it's easy to go through 10 volumes in just one sitting. I've finished complete 40-volume series in just one weekend and still had plenty time to start another series.

Inquiring minds want to know; what's the book?

Yeah, I'm thinking, too, for the same reason. I should resist, though; I have plenty to read.

I activated the promo but may not use it. All my combinations are totaling $19.97 or $19.98.

shalym · 01-24-2019, 05:30 PM

Done and done. I had a $15 gift card, and some books on my list that were more than I usually like to spend. I got those, plus some cheapies that are part of a series I'm reading, and I ended up getting $26 worth of books for $6.

Nice.

I had bought some discount books in the past few days and got the credit after a couple of purchases today. It seems that Amazon will count purchases within the time frame even if they were made before activating the deal.

HLS · 01-24-2019, 11:00 PM

I activated mine today. I bought one $10 book the rest were cheap daily deals. I go tmy $5 credit quite fast
