Re-order $5+ item with Alexa Voice Shopping, Get $5 Amazon store credit

Amazon’s Alexa Voice Shopping has a new promotion running until March 20 in 2017. If you re-order a previously purchased item from your Amazon order history using Alexa Voice Shopping, Alexa will give you a $5 Amazon store credit to use in future purchase. You must place the order by ordering with your voice and Alexa. The product must be $5+, sold and shipped by Amazon itself, and it has to be a physical product. Complete details at the bottom of the aforelinked page. This offer is restricted t Prime members, “Alexa Voice Shopping” is one of the ever-increasing Prime Benefits.

PS: you don’t have to have an Amazon Echo or Dot or Tap to take advantage of this promotion. Select Fire tablets and Fire TV streaming boxes are also eligible (the models that are compatible with Alexa Voice ordering). I keep forgetting to check whether the good old Kindle Fire Phone is eligible 🙂

(ENDED) Sunday: 15% off Monoprice coupon

This Sunday coupon expired… Cue the Bob Dylan song, we “spring forward” on March 12, 2am local time “becomes” the new 3am, which inspired the name of today’s Monoprice coupon, coupon FORWARD15 gets you 15% off your order at the Monoprice website. The usual exclusions apply. The coupon is good for Sunday only.

There’s no coupon to enter, the discount appears on eligible items right after you add them to the shopping cart. The usual exclusions apply – as usual.

(ENDED) Friday: 20% off $200+ Monoprice orders

48 Hour Sale at Adorama

Adorama launched earlier today a new 48 Hour sale. A few of the participating items require a coupon code, which is shown at the appropriate spot over there. I will digest these later day when I find time, but in the mean time, if you feel like deal fishing, they are waiting for you. It features select cameras, lenses, photo accessories and electronics.

CORRECTION: 6% to 10% eBay Bucks until Fri 3am ET (YMMV)

CORRECTION: The original post was incorrect. You get 10% eBay Bucks with individual items priced over $50, you get 8% for items between $25 and $50, an 6% for items under $25. While speed reading I missed the “up to” in the eBay email headline 🙁

This is back, and as before, it is YMMV and ends at 3am eastern on Friday (11:59pm pacific on Thursday). If you received an email/message from eBay about this offer, you can participate by activating it (click on the appropriate place in the email/message). You get up to 10% eBay Bucks on individual items. This particular offer does not have a minimum purchase amount. You get 10% on all eligible items!

A good place to look for ideas are the eBay Deals along with the Trending Deals (shows only 100 trending deals, less overwhelming to look at than their main deals page). There’s also a dedicated search box there that searches only the Deals, not everything else on eBay.

Unrelated to this promotion, and NOT eligible to earn Extra Bucks, the PayPal Digital Gifts eBay store is offering $50 iTunes email gift cards for $42.50. This is a 15% off discount. Limit up to four per customer.

Get $25 off a purchase of $50+ at Amazon When You Pay with AMEX Card AND (partially) Use Membership Points

Stop the Presses! If you have an American Express credit card with Membership Rewards points, there’s a pretty good deal happening at Amazon.com. You get a $25 off discount on an order of $50+ of eligible products if you pay with an American Express Credit Card and (at least partially) pay for the order using Membership Rewards points and enter coupon AMEX17EVER over there. This is a feature Amazon calls Shop with Points. “Shop with Points” is available to everyone, it is not an a Prime Benefit. You can select how many Membership Points to use at checkout. You can use as few as you like.

UPDATE: only items sold and shipped by Amazon itself are eligible. Items “fulfilled by Amazon” are NOT eligible. Items sold and shipped by 3rd-party sellers are NOT eligible.

HOW TO GET THIS DEAL

  • Add your American Express credit card with Membership Rewards points to your Amazon account. I believe the Pay with Rewards may happen automatically these days, if not, follow the prompts as the Amazon page will remind you
  • If your AMEX is already linked to your Amazon account but the “Shop with Points” feature is not activated, you can manually start the process
  • find items of interest that total $50 or more
  • add to cart, proceed to checkout, select the AMEX credit card as your payment method, and select the option to apply points towards the purchase. It’s your call, you can use all your available points or as few as you like. The exchange rate is not favorable (it’s less than 1:1 as you can see in the screenshot below), so don’t use a lot of them
  • enter coupon code AMEX17EVER in the coupon / gift card box below
  • then look at the top right corner of the Checkout page – if all is well, you will see a $25 off discount of your order total (see screenshot above)
  • and that’s it 🙂

STRATEGERY

You can use them as a capital/infrastructure purchase (eg a new lens) or you can buy a handful of consumables (memory cards, flash drives, cables, etc), or camera and photography books.

PLACES TO CHECK for DEALS
+ Camera and Photo pages
+ Electronics pages
+ Gold Box / Lightning Deals
+ the Elsewhere at Amazon segment at the bottom of the daily Lightning Deal round-ups
+ $50 Gift Cards of other retailers, eg $50 Starbucks Gift Card or $50 Whole Foods Gift Card or any of your favorite or frequent retailers that Amazon carries (eg Restaurants)
+ $60 Netflix Gift Card for $35 after this promotion (you can load it up to your own Netflix account, you don’t have to give it to someone else)
