40% off activated for me just now.
Looks to be dead as of last night? Was working for me (I had the 15%) yesterday in some test orders, but but the time I tried to actually place an order to max it out it wasn’t showing. Thought might’ve been a glitch for me but looks like link above goes to a blank page now
No Whole Foods gift cards available when I click through, just Amazon cards.
WFM GCs were removed from Amazon years ago, unfortunately.
How do you see if you’re targeted, through email? I have the card already removed and it says “not eligible” after enrolling the card.
40% for myself, 15% for P2. We were just targeted for 30% and 40% last month so good to see this revive so quickly.
still 15% here, never get 40 🙁
thanks doc! (and for the links) Seems we got the best possible option, first time using MR’s…. and have a pressing need.
I’ve had this available for a good month+ now and I just can’t think of anything I need that would take full advantage of the discount (50/80), but it feels like such a waste to let it expire…
3rd party gift cards — see which ones they have on sale for Prime Day
This is smart!
I bought AirPods 2 Pro but now I see Walmart+ is lower. Assuming Amazon eventually matches, I’d rather get Airpods 4 NC for $120.
Anyone knows if canceling order returns the offer?
I don’t believe it does.
To answer my own question, canceling order refunds coupon. Ordered Airpods 4 NC instead. Amazon price $120, got them for $65 (tax incl). Coupon is multi use, I can still order other stuff to redeem coupon fully.
BestBuy gift card? Apple gift card?
Bestbuy is solid shout, they tend to be overpriced but I’m sure I’d find something there eventually.
Best Buy price matches to Amazon, Walmart & Target up to 15 days after a purchase. I recently did that for a purchase that I made on BestBuy.com. 😉
Thanks, that’s good info!
What do you mean up to 15 days after a purchase?
Like you purchase an item on Amazon for $1,000, and even if the price goes back up on Amazon to $1,200, then Best Buy will still price match that item for $1,000?
No. For example, let’s say that I purchase a new Samsung phone for $500 on BestBuy.com.
Then 12 days later, I go to Amazon’s site and see the same phone for $398. I can then chat with Best Buy and send them the current link and they will then refund me $102. There is some fine print against 3rd party sellers not being matched so be careful with that.
got 15% off up to $15, still thinking about what to buy :/ Just wait for Prime Day
Here you go: #2094016 .
I gave it some thought, but I don’t see any gift cards that are really worth the discount. Most of the stores I shop at already offer similar deals elsewhere—like 10%-20% (Doordash, Uber, etc) off at Kroger, Dollar General, Costco, etc.
How about a $100 Visa GC? After the $5.95 fee, you’ll still come out ahead.
Still a no, I purchase VGC at Office Depot $15 off of $300. 😛
Whoa Visa GC works for the points promotions??
I don’t recall if I’ve ever tried it myself but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Do you have a current Amazon offer to test it?
thanks, great info!
I do, I guess it’ll show in checkout if it can apply.
A Visa GC would probably be my 2nd choice after an Albertsons GC if I had the 15% discount. Isn’t it amazing that
Wick balked at getting 9% off plus a small amount of credit card rewards?
I guess BestBuy is the best value.
TBH, I haven’t shopped at BestBuy for years…
Whoa! 50% up to $80.
Same for me! Just checked out applying 1 point for a $160 egift card
wow! I got a measly 15% iff up to $15
Same here. Cmon Amazon….why can’t it just be the $80.
Why not just buy a $100 GC? 15% off (plus CB/Rewards on your credit card) is not a bad deal at all!
What GC this works on? Doesn’t work on Amazon GC.
It should work on most, if not all, 3rd party GCs.
When a 10%+ deal comes along on Amazon, I usually use it toward an Albertsons GC as getting 10%+ off of groceries is a great deal.
