[Reposting this deal because $.99 Dash buttons came to light, making this deal $1 better. (HT: V.)
We posted about the $1.99 $.99 Amazon Dash button deal yesterday, but one point come to light that I hadn’t been aware of.
Briefly, Amazon offers these Dash buttons which come with a $4.99 credit. Usually, they cost $4.99, making them free after credit. Now, many varieties cost just $1.99 $.99, making it a $3 $4 moneymaker in Amazon credit. You can also select no-rush shipping for another $1 credit toward video, books, and games.
In the previous post we wrote that to get the $4.99 credit you have to actually use the Dash button to order something. However, reader Brian pointed out in the comments there that this isn’t the case: as soon as you register the Dash button to your Amazon account, you’ll get the $4.99 credit.
So if you really want to maximize this deal, you can order many Dash buttons (one of each) and register them all to your Amazon account, effectively buying $4.99 Amazon credit + $1 video for the cost of just $1.99. It’s obviously a hassle, but it might be interesting for some. And keep in mind you might not want to do this in abusive quantities since Amazon may not take kindly to that.
Brian notes that you can only use one $4.99 credit per order. This is an important limitation; you won’t be able to use up all the credits on a single large purchase, only one per Amazon transaction. But if you’re someone who makes lots of small orders on Amazon it could still make sense.
I’m not sure how long the $4.99 credit lasts before expiring, but I imagine it’s at least 30-days.
