The Offers
- Amazon is offering some discounts on the newly released fire tablets. These are the lowest prices we’ve seen on these devices so far (they were released this month so that is not that surprising)
Our Verdict
Always worth waiting for Amazon items to go on sale before purchasing them. If you bought any of these for full price you might be able to get Amazon to refund the difference by contacting chat.

Are these a worthy upgrade to the 7 HDX?
I bought this on the last round of the promotion. Then, today I see they have it invoiced at the full price. I had to call and request the invoice be adjusted as it was on promotion when I ordered it for the $109.99 and they invoiced me for the full amount. They wanted to cancel my order and place a new order under the current promotion. But that would change the delivery date to August when the original order was for July 29th delivery. As the credit card had not been charged, I saw no reason to not adjust the price to the original promotion under which I ordered. They said they could not reduce the price back to the original promotion, but would give me an account credit of the $30 difference – which is still off due to the taxes they will change me on the . I did not want to cancel and receive the fire later as it is for a gift. So be careful you that you get charged the actual promotion price when the fire is delivered.
Buy a new one, get the old one, when you got the new one, return it as the old order. Should work if they are less than a month apart.
Bought a tablet 4 days ago.. The chat would not refund the difference in price. They told me I have to refund the item and buy a new one.
beFrugal and TopCashback had 8% cashback on the Fire’s, too.
The deal was only for yesterday
I don’t see the discounted price. Dead?
Thanks for the post! I just ordered two new Fire HD 8’s for upcoming birthday presents. Originally paid $89.99 for each, called Amazon this evening and they refunded the difference on both of them. On the phone for about 16 minutes. Rep seemed to insinuate that this was a “one time exception”.
Anecdotally, I also got the pay $50 or more, get $20 credit with this order. Paid with gift card balance only, had Amex card listed as preferred payment.
