    I just got $20 off an SSD. You must have an Amazon Rewards Visa to use this code. Other users were able to use it multiple times (once per order) but I think that might be fixed now to single use. I don't know, but it worked for my needs.

    20% off up to $100 (in other words, $20 max discount)
    Must use Amazon Rewards Visa
    Must buy from Amazon (not reseller)
    Multiple or Single use currently unknown, was multi-use earlier today (Sunday)

    Code: JUL20PER

    I don't know. Saw this over on [H]ard Forum and they don't know either. Sorry, that's why I jumped at the SSD tonight. I was going to order it as soon as it took a price dip (ever notice how your Wish List items bump up and down in price by a few % from week to week). So anyway, locking in $20 off a $380 SSD was enough to get me to bite.

    EDIT: found this
    short answer: it expires whenever Amazon feels like it

    That's cool, how did I not know about that? Looks like I matched the floor price with the current discount. But now I'll be bummed if it drops back down before this coupon expires. I think this website is going to exacerbate my chronic analysis paralysis.

    Just ordered a Logitech K811 keyboard to use with my MacBook Pro. With a few dollars in rewards points and gift cards, the cost came down to less than $55. Awesome deal.

    Try it for yourself. They closed the multi-use loophole which made people at [H]ard Forum think it was dead by the time I used it.
