[Amazon] $8.62 off $50 w/ code BIGTHANKS [[EXPIRED]]
Amazon is celebrating getting #1 on some customer satisfaction survey and they're taking $8.62 off $50 on ANY purchase with code BIGTHANKS, but it's TODAY ONLY (2/22/17) and items must be sold by Amazon, not "through" Amazon.
EDIT: Does NOT seem to work on video games.

..and somehow I am unable to think of anything I need. 17% discount from amazon prices and I can't think of anything. I'm sure I can count on my wife here...

Re: [Amazon] $8.62 off $50 w/ code BIGTHANKS today!!!!!
I bought a jacket (I can use another windbreaker) and another pair of pants (somehow going to Target doesn't appeal to me to buy pants, and I wear jeans almost exclusively). It's kinda painful to find the items that the discount would apply to though. A lot of the items on my wish list were not sold BY Amazon.

I spent half the morning looking at board game reviews just so I can find something to justify an Amazon purchase...

Heh. That was my first thought too. I have a few set aside as "eventual" purchases. I'll have to see how much they cost.Ralph-Wiggum wrote:I spent half the morning looking at board game reviews just so I can find something to justify an Amazon purchase...

You can always just buy some non-perishable food to bring your bill up to $50. If you need ideas, how about some Nong Shim Korean Soup - Black Version?coopasonic wrote:..and somehow I am unable to think of anything I need. 17% discount from amazon prices and I can't think of anything.

I used the code on the Shark Navigator (vacuum) sold by Shark - it worked.

If you mean the super-hot noodles, the black version just have an extra sauce packet. Just buy the red version.

Tried it on a preorder for Horizon Zero Dawn that says it's sold BY amazon, and it didn't work.

It's the especially long arrow that starts way down at the bottom that really sells it.

I am loving it and am very glad I chose it, but that comes with two points for context: I've used it a grand total of twice so far, and my baseline is my last vacuum, a model that was probably 25 years or more old.stessier wrote:That stinks.Blackhawk wrote:And I just blew all of my spare cash plus my personal savings on exactly that from them three weeks ago after my old vacuum died.stessier wrote:I used the code on the Shark Navigator (vacuum) sold by Shark - it worked.

I think it's that you can totally use the code to buy a video game - you just need to try harder.hepcat wrote:It's like he's trying to visually tell me something about my attempt at buying a video game with the code...but for the life of me, I can't figure it out.

While it doesn't work on Amazon gift cards, it does work on other gift cards. I went the semi-adulting route and got a Southwest gift card. Toss in our 5% back via Amazon VISA and it was < $40!
Would have been nice if they went with the number they got in the survey and took $86.27 off of a $100 purchase. Come on, Amazon. Do it right.

So I need a $58.62 present to myself and I have no idea what to get. I guess I need to peruse "the single player board game" thread I started a few months back.

If you don't already own it, Star Wars: Rebellion has been tremendous fun in my experience, and perfectly captures the feel of an epic galactic civil war. In a nutshell, it's the Original Trilogy in a box, and also includes 170+ superb-quality miniatures:Ralph-Wiggum wrote:I still haven't figured out what (if any) board game to get.

It's currently the no. 5 ranked overall game on BoardGameGeek and the no. 2 thematic game, and justifiably so IMO.

Those are two that I was looking at also (the Aliens expansion and Firefly for LE).
But... for all the board games that I have on my future list, only one is cheaper at Amazon than at CSI. Doesn't make sense to get games at Amazon for several dollars more, just to save $8+. I'll have to see if the wife has any ideas.

I don't imagine anything I buy from Amazon is sold by Amazon. Which I guess goes back to I'm out. It seems like even when I buy books from Amazon they're always from a marketplace and not Amazon themselves.Hypnotoad wrote:You're trying to buy things that aren't actually sold by Amazon.

If you look under all sellers, you can specify where you are buying it from. Example. I just went to the product page and clicked on, "Used & new (24) from $35.99 + $6.99 shipping"
