I suspect this will most certainly have a "limit of one per person - per account cap' on it, or per household. Mashabable.com is stating "limit one per customer".

These are always nice deals for those that spend $$ at Amazon, and always having that extra GC on hand is a good thing

from mashable.com

Will update thread as further information comes along

 

Thanks for the heads up! I will check it out unless the masses destroy the deal before I get a chance.

 

Oh yeah that.. *coughgreed*. I think Amazon will have a better handle on this then LivingSocial did last year with a few of the large deals like this.

 

I am sure people are gearing up on how to cheat and get as many as possible.

 

Yeah I'm sure. But I will try and stay positive on this, and I'm just glad Amazon is doing this. : ) Helps promote, and helps us save on purchases!!

It would be nice if you could purchase with an existing Gift Card you have on hand, but I am certain that is not a possibility.

 

I don't get it. Do I buy this deal on AmazonLocal which I can spend on Amazon.com. Or do I buy this on Amazon.com to spend on AmazonLocal???

 

Amazonlocal is their new deals site. You can buy an Amazon.com giftcard there once the deal is live.

 

I gotta mark the date on this one!

 

The hell you say?

Anyway, I'm in for a thousand of these...did yall say anything about limit per one?

 

Of course my city, heck my state, doesn't even show up on AmazonLocal.

 

Neither does mine (Indiana), so I used Chicago...I figure "local" enough.

If it starts at 12am EST thats less than an hour away. If that is...

I did that with my nearest local city/state also just to get the e-mail subscription going.
Plus, if you already have a Amazon account and normally stay logged in AmazonLocal should recognize you (it did for me).

 

Deal is live now.

I updated main post with info also.
As of 3:38 AM, EST 15,269 bought!

 

AWESOME Cin' got my confirmation email and voucher , took about 1 minute. You are the best. I do not see how they will maintain this business model though LOL
Close to 1 Million at 7:30 PM EST Still open!!!

 

In this particular case, economies of scale. Sell this at a loss and hope people will use the $10 towards an item where Amazon makes more than $5 in profit.

 

i did i didit!!
(586k people before me did it too)
thanks.
bye.

 

Got it too, thanks again Cin!! :-D

 

I still haven't received my email confirmation.

 

It takes some time to receive it, i got mine ~4 hours after the payment :|

 

I got the email within 45 seconds, IF you voucher shows up when you login to Amazon you are good.

 

I bought mine and my dad bought one. Is there any way to buy an extra one?

Also, if anyone is interested in selling me theirs for like $7.50 or something, I'd be interested.

 

I still have not received my email confirmation and didn't see it in my amazon account. Did their email server try to send out a few million emails/confirmation today and got marked by all servers along the way as spam central?

 

Have either of you received yours?
They sold out last night at about $1M. And, people who had ordered at different times throughout the day had still not received their e-mail confirmations, even yet today.

I would assume they are still "catching up"/diligence checking. Keep checking your accounts.

 

Geez I forgot to check yesterday and it was sold out this morning

 

^ ^ It was only a one day deal, and it sold out early evening last night.

 

hi Cin i have just received the confirmation email. The email actually arrived after midnight (about 16 hours after ordering). I pasted the code into the account and it's good!! Thanks.

 

I'm glad you got it finally! Amazon always comes through. : ) I don't think they will be doing another one these deals for a bit though!
