News: Amazon finally launched page to track your Slow Shipping Credits

Finally Amazon has launched a page where Prime members can keep track of their “slow shipping credits”. These are the “No Rush Credits” that you get if as a Prime member you select a slower shipping method for an order that is eligible for free 2-day shipping. The slower-shipping is not always slow, it’s just that they ship it in a non-priority way, but it can still get there reasonably fast.

The page is this https://www.amazon.com/norushcredits but all you have to remember is to type norushcredits (no rush credits) since amazon.com is easy to remember 🙂 It looks like this (“View Image” to see full size):

Extended Again: $5 off purchase of $15+ in Books with coupon (ends Mon 3am ET)

The current expiration date of this promotion is Monday 12/10/16 Thursday [yes, it got extended again] at 3am Eastern, so unless it gets extended again, it is last call for the coupon code GIFTBOOK that gets you $5 off purchase of $15+ in printed books at Amazon by Amazon itself. You can use this coupon even if you used the previous $10 off $25+ coupon in November (I used them both because reading is fun-da-mental!). The usual free shipping terms apply (Prime or $25+ in books or $49+ in general merchandise, physical goods sold or fulfilled by Amazon itself).

PS: some of the calendars may be eligible for this promotion as well. I can’t test them all, but you can tell by adding to cart and seeing if they get discounted. It may depend on how they are coded in their system or maybe it’s some kinds of calendars but not others, so YMMV.

Wacom Intuos Photo Pen and Touch digital photo editing tablet (Small; CTH490PK) for $81 (limit 5)

The “Small” Wacom Intuos Photo Pen and Touch digital photo editing tablet (model CTH490PK) is currently on sale for $81 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself. Limit up to five per customer. This is not a lightning deal, so there’s no ticking clock on the price.

It is the usual “market driven” price which means it can change in the next millisecond or stay like that for the next 50,000 years. Most of the times it’s somewhere in-between 🙂 #ExpertAnalysis
