First, for all of those that didn't get the
$20 off $30 Tools offer (and a few that didn't get the
$20 gift card offer that I heard from), go check your offers again this morning. It took a few days to get a reply from Amazon, but here is what they said when I complained about being skipped on an offer:
... In general, the special offers are updated regularly when your Kindle is connected wirelessly and sent to all our customers with no individual restrictions....
So, the offers should go to everyone, not to selected owners (as happened with this offer). Frankly, I think they may have done this on purpose, to see if anyone noticed, but it could have been a glitch at their end that "forgot" to send this offer to anyone who had had their KSO for more than a couple of weeks. In any case, this morning my KSO finally downloaded the Tools offer (it has WiFi on all the time and I checked it late last night before turning in). Today is the last day to sign up for that offer, so be sure to check your KSO if you want to get in on it (we have a month to use the credit, but only today to sign up).
The other big news this morning is that it appears to be Video Game Day for
Amazon's Gold Box and Lightning Deals today. They have a great deal on the
Xbox 360 Console with Kinect (
$299.99), which comes with a $100 credit today (only). I like several of the exercise and other games on Kinect (hey, I can beat the pro bowler in the house using the bowling game!). The first game up in the
Lightning Deals is for the Wii, but I see both XBox and PS3 represented in the upcoming selections.
