Amazon $5 promo question

[angleyez423]

This morning I placed 2 different orders on Amazon, each were one video game. Both times it showed regular price in the cart and when I went to pay there was a thing that said Black Friday Deal and took $5 off. I just tested again and it didn't happen.

 

Does anyone know what this was? It didn't show at all on the item pages. It is dead for me but maybe it was limited and will still work for you.

 

My games were Wii Mario Party 9 preorder (I placed the order by accident too, that's how I found the promo, but now I'll keep the order since I got $5 off and preorder guarantee) and Pillow Pets on DS ($11 woo hoo).

I recieved an email saying that due to a black friday gold box deal error I recieved a one time $5 credit good towards anything sold by Amazon....I bet that was it...I have NO IDEA what error they are referring too but I will take it LOL

I also got the $5 promo.

Yep, I did just get an email about it. It says it happened to me twice and said I had a $10 promo in my account. Wonder why it split it up like that though, $5 on two orders rather than just the $10. Hey, I'm not complaining (except hubby got my second $5 on something for his niece rather than me, but that's ok, I'll share:tongue1:). I think the one error was on the Ninjago game which I got the next day on LD again anyway for the same price.

I got the $5 credit too.

I got the $5 but it has to be used on the item that was in your cart during the Lightning Deal, or at least mine does. I tried on several items but it will only work on the Lightning Deal item.

Not mine I used it on a great deal for an electronic wine chiller and rechargable opener set ($20) Never even searched for it before today

Able to use mine on something different as well.

Dang you guys are lucky. lol

might have to try this thanks

My two items were both things I had never looked at before. The email said it could be anything shipped and sold from Amazon.

 

Oh, and my sister bought lots on Black Friday at Amazon and she didn't get the promo. I'm not sure which items caused it.

[jade2002]

I was wondering where it might have came from too. My last couple of purchases was a t.v., cd, the new monster high doll, monster high diary and a ps3 game. Those were the last couple so it must have been one of those that qualified for it.

the site got slow on BF i think. I guess if you were logged in during that time they sent you credit maybe. I know I spent a good 5 minutes panicking thinking I would lose a lightning deal because it wouldn't load checkout page

[jade2002]

Oh, I just remembered, it might have came from the xbox live that I tried getting during the lightning deal. There was some trouble with that.

[angleyez423]

I didn't look at any of the things you guys mentioned. I got Hot Tube Time Machine, Fast Five and Transformers on Blu Ray and Ninjago Battles DS game. There were some loading problems and I panicked too on Fast Five because it took the whole 15 minutes to check out. I actually had more problems on Thanksgiving night though with things not going into the cart, adding me to the waitlist and then saying the waitlist was full, all in a matter of seconds. I posted a complaint in the Amazon forums and so did a TON of other people so it could have been Thursday night too.

Funny thing is I don't remember any issues at all....got everything I tried for, ect!
