Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Amazon.com $50 off for HD DVD player purchasers

Well, Amazon.com sent me a promotional code to take $50 off a purchase from them, since I bought an HD DVD player from them. The cool thing is that I put $83 worth of stuff into my cart, and the code paid for all of it. I thought about putting more in to see just how much it would pay for, but I chickened out, in case they found the error.

But yeah, if anyone else got their code, see how much you can get Amazon.com to pay for.

Too bad Walmart won't do something like that for my $98 HD-A2...

Or Costco for my $300 player several months back.

Okay, I figured it out. My code was actually worth $100 since I bought two HD DVD players. At least, I think I got both from them. I thought maybe I got my first unit from Crutchfield or something, but according to this promotional code, I must have gotten both through Amazon.com. Ha ha. Anyway, when I went back to Amazon.com and put some stuff in my cart, it was going to apply $16.06 more credit toward my order. So now I can go buy more.

For those of you that don't know, Wal-mart is offering a refund if you purchased a Toshiba HD DVD player between Nov. 1 and now.

Oh, I ordered my first HD DVD player from Vanns.com, so now I really am confused as to why my promotional code was worth $100.

Oh, oh, oh, it just hit me that I bought my Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on from Amazon.com. Yeah, yeah, I was really trying to support the format. A friend ended up with the HD-A1, and my sister ended up with the add-on.

Yeah, but I want to KEEP my HDDVD player now that I have picked up a slew of movies for cheap. I would have loved a gift card...

I had forgot that I bought my HD player from Amazon, they hadn't sent me an e-mail so I sent them one and they got back to me with my promotion code within an hour. Thanks for the heads up.

I understand. A gift card from wallyworld would enable more movie purchases, or whatever else you want to buy.

This walmart deal might work out in my favor cause I don't have a collection of movies. I only have 7 of them...

5 were from the "mail in rebate" and the other 2 were from Amazon. Most of my money went towards Netflix...

Yep! Took mine back on Monday. Now I have 18 HD DVD movies and Planet Earth to get rid of.

I don't want to break forum rules but I might be interested in buying some of those. I was looking at Planet Earth locally today in HD and it was STILL 84$ I asked the clerk if she knew that HD was a dead format. Hear reply was "What's HD?" sigh.... I moved on.

I'll PM you my email so we can take it outside this venue if you are interested.

Thanks Michael! I followed your example and did the same thing. I’ve bought two of the darn things from Amazon, so they gave me a $100 certificate. Too bad Amazon doesn’t sell wine yet.

+ 1 on the thanks for the heads up and sharing this news with us.

Cv, Thanks for the FYI on the rebate.

Thanks, Charles. I dug through my emails from this week and found the rebate code.

Now the real question is--what to buy?

How about this gem?

For you single/adventurous guys... B Chair

Perhaps you need this? USB

Or this? Deer Rear

And my personal favorite: Weener Kleener Soap

LOL! Although, I tend to believe that if you go for the inflatable bondage chair you're not really serious about the whole thing. . .

I definitely like the USB dog.

Oh god, what is my amazon recommended items going to look like after that...

I don't know, but you might want to make sure your wife's out of the room. . .




. . .or not?
