Tenzy Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 I got American Sniper DVD but I'm so upset about about not getting my girls Inside Out.
tinkrbel Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 I'm beyond annoyed with amazon, whats the point of putting something on my watchlist if as soon as it goes live and is waitslisted it is deleted from page and I need to search for item only to see waitlist full? Amazon has really screwed customers in the last few years with Lightning Deals. They used to have mostly decent deals and easily scrollable NOW theres pages and pages of useless crap reduced 0.10. 1
freesia39 Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 I think the best way to use the watchlist is as a reminder of when things will go live. Otherwise, watch it from the actual deals page and wait for it to turn over. 1
Stowasser Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 well crap, messing around with ordering an xbox, I missed aladdin, I am so off this year LOL
Tommysmom Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 same here - I hit add to cart instantly and was waitlisted immediately. bummer

Amazon has really screwed customers in the last few years with Lightning Deals. They used to have mostly decent deals and easily scrollable NOW theres pages and pages of useless crap reduced 0.10. My app notifies me about 5 minutes prior to the start, I can go to my Watch List and then add to cart when the deal goes live (~4 minutes later). There are very often items that go to 100% claimed within 5 seconds because there are 1,000,000 other people doing the exact same thing you're doing at the same time. When the calendars come out, not only do you know exactly when the movies you want will be active, but so does millions of other people...
tjhollis Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Tried getting the hisense 55in 4K on the app deals but as always it said wait list full before I could blink an eye. Sooo frustrated right now with how things have turned out today.

Sooo frustrated right now with how things have turned out today. I would not have expected any differently. It would be exactly the same if Walmart put such a deal online when they did their online sale. Millions of people know about this and are clicking on it at the same time as you are. When only thousands are available (completely a guess on my part; no idea how many there were), the waitlist is going to be full immediately.
pmterp Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Anyone seen anything on the $150 50" app only deal?
tvchild Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Anyone seen anything on the $150 50" app only deal? I'm wondering the same thing.

Update: just went to my local Walmart and got the very last one. Two people came in right behind me wanting one. Finally got lucky!! 1

tjhollis Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Is this advertised somewhere? Or been mentioned in the forum? I haven't seen anything. Thanks! I have seen it advertised a couple times on a few internet links. Here's one link that talks about it. It doesnt really give a day or time though. http://www.techtimes.com/articles/110307/20151126/amazon-target-and-other-retailers-pushing-apps-with-mobile-only-black-friday-deals.htm

bribri25 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Is this advertised somewhere? Or been mentioned in the forum? I haven't seen anything. Thanks! There were some posts on here talking about mobile app only deals from Amazon on Thanksgiving. There was also a post mentioning this deal from someone looking at the app this morning and seeing the upcoming deal; alerting us to the date/time of this tv. Anyone could have opened up the app to see these deals themselves; there were only ~40-50 for the entire day.
freesia39 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 My app notifies me about 5 minutes prior to the start, I can go to my Watch List and then add to cart when the deal goes live (~4 minutes later).

When the calendars come out, not only do you know exactly when the movies you want will be active, but so does millions of other people...So I used the app earlier to purchase something since I was at my parents for Thanksgiving and it worked really well. I already had the app open to my "watchlist" and when the blu-ray I wanted went live, I was able to hit add to cart and checked out. I was kinda shocked how well it worked. 1

tinkrbel Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 I was kinda shocked how well it worked.I'm at a 50/50 success rate with app. Early yesterday I was able to waitlist something on app but then when it was available the "add to cart" button wasn't responding. I managed to make it to pc in time to add and get deal. I did buy something later in the day using the app though. Unlike Walmarts app that just locked out on me when I tried to check out yesterday morning when all the craziness was going on. That sucker just kept spinning until I forced it shut, not even an error message like site was giving.
kimpooh19 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) Did I miss the $125 32" Smart tv or have they done it yet? I've been checking constantly, but no sign of it yet. Edit:. Nevermind. It's up as a Daily deal for anyone looking for it! =) Edited November 27, 2015 by kimpooh19
Brad Posted November 27, 2015 Author Posted November 27, 2015 $69 Acer 22" 1080p monitor: http://www.gottadeal.com/Deal/129770 Great reviews, would be a great 2nd (or 3rd) monitor if you need extra screen real estate.

PCullen Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 The $95 Chromebook is coming up $160. Anyone else?
Brad Posted November 27, 2015 Author Posted November 27, 2015 The $95 Chromebook is coming up $160. Anyone else? yep, looks like amazon sold out of their stock, for now at least.
speeddiva Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Bummed I missed the Nexus deal but I did grab the 32" TV
PCullen Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 yep, looks like amazon sold out of their stock, for now at least.I'm not sure I even want one...just getting distracted by the low price!
ILoveGoodDeals Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) I wait listed the 40" LED TV for $145 and got it. Just checked out. I wasn't expecting the wait list to come through. Edited November 27, 2015 by ILoveGoodDeals
smurfgirl Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 I got the Asus laptop that is advertised for 329. I thought about a chromebook, but decided to stick with a laptop. My old one is 8 years old is still running windows vista. It was time for an upgrade!
bribri25 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 I just found an item on my Wish List and 2 items on family wish lists that were lightning deals. Added those puppies to cart and checked out (each separately to get $1 credit for no-rush shipping).

He's always updating it.
bribri25 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Nice! That worked out well for you. I think I'll go check my husband's list again. He's always updating it. I know. It was a daunting task to scroll through 34 pages of the current deals, but totally worth it to save another 20%! ...on something that was already going to be bought for them and myself anyway! Today has been a much better day with the Lightning Deals and there's been things to entice impulse buys.
