$3 Instant Amazon Video Credit (KSO)

This offer is only for those with a Kindle with Special Offers (including any Kindle Touch or Kindle Keyboard that opts in to Special Offers, which means you can add the offers, grab this one, then turn them back off!):

Get $3 off at Amazon Instant Video

Click on the offer, then click on the link on the offer page sign up and you'll get an email with the promotion code. Sign-up for this offer expires May 6, 2012.

You'll get an email (right away), a link to the Instant Video page, a promotion code and a link to the redemption page. This one works like a gift card and you need to apply the credit to your account first, before going shopping. Once you have entered the promotional code(s), you have until June 6, 2012 to complete your purchases. I'd recommend that you apply the credit right away, since it works on any video purchase - then you can shop on the web, from your Kindle Fire or your Roku and it will be used automatically.

You can use this credit on a rental or to purchase single items or entire television seasons. I'll probably use mine for the occasional 99 cent movie rental; if you have multiple KSO's, be sure you have them registered to different accounts before you try to claim this one or they'll all end up with the same code. With different accounts, each KSO can claim and use the code (three $1 rentals each should be enough to keep you in movies for the month, if you have 2 or 3 KSO's!).

Get $30 off Dress Shoes (KSO)

This offer is only for those with a Kindle with Special Offers:

Save on Select Shoes (Get $30 off when you spend $100 on Women's pumps & Men's dress shoes)

Click on offer, then click on the link on the offer page to receive an email with the promo code. Sign-up for this offer expires on April 29 (it says the 30th on your Kindle, but the promotional page sets the cut-off as the 29th).

You'll get an email (right away), a link to the Special Offer page and a promotion code to enter at checkout. Once you have the promotional code, you have until May 31, 2012 to complete your purchase. Like previous offers, this one requires you to use the full checkout process in order to enter your promotional code. Also, like all Amazon sales that use promotional codes, if you have a gift card balance, you must use it for the payment (if there is not a sufficient balance, then you can pick which credit card or other payment to use).

Limit one offer per customer and per device.

You can add one or more qualifying pair of shoes to get to the $100 minimum and there seem to be a lot to choose from. One the Women's side, it is all dress heels, from what I can see, but I saw loafers in the men's selection (apparently the 31 most popular choice, right now). Personally, I don't buy shoes mail order, but you do have the protection of the return policy at Amazon on these (if you do return them, the promotion amount is subtracted from any return value, of course).

Neutrogena: Get $10 Off $30 Order (KSO)

This offer has been extended from it's earlier claim-by date, but is the exact same deal, otherwise, including the expiration date. If you've already claimed the earlier deal, you'll get sent the exact same coupon code this time, so I don't think you'll be able to take advantage of the deal twice.

This offer is only for those with a Kindle with Special Offers (including any Kindle Touch or Kindle Keyboard that opts in to Special Offers, which means you can add the offers, grab this one, then turn them back off!):

Exclusive savings on select Neutrogena® products
(Get $10 Off a $30 Purchase of Select Neutrogena® Items)


Click on offer, then click on the link on the offer page to receive an email with the promo code. Sign-up for this offer expires on May 9.

You'll get an email (right away), a link to the Special Offer page and a promotion code to enter at checkout. Once you have the promotional code, you have until May 25, 2012 to complete your purchase. Like previous offers, this one requires you to use the full checkout process in order to enter your promotional code. Also, like all Amazon sales that use promotional codes, if you have a gift card balance, you must use it for the payment (if there is not a sufficient balance, then you can pick which credit card or other payment to use).

Limit one offer per customer and per device.

Save 25% on Skins by DecalGirl (KSO)

This offer for those with a Kindle with Special Offers (which you can turn on and off, of course, on some of the later eInk models

Save 25% on Kindle and Kindle Touch Skins by DecalGirl

Click on the offer, then click on the link on the offer page to receive an email with the promotion code. Sign-up for this offer expires on April 23.

You'll get an email (right away), a link to the Kindle Special Offer page and a promotion code to enter at checkout. Once you have the promotional code, you have until May 23 to complete your purchase. Like previous offers, this one requires you to use the full checkout process in order to enter your promotional code. Also, like all Amazon sales that use promotional codes, if you have a gift card balance, you must use it for the payment (if there is not a sufficient balance, then you can pick which credit card or other payment to use).

Limit one offer per customer and per device.

This offer showed up on all of my Kindles, even the Kindle 3's (with Keyboards). The skins that are on sale, though are only for the last two eInk models, the current "Kindle" (the baby, no keyboard and no touch) and the Kindle Touch. that said, there's nothing to prevent you from buying one for a Mother's day gift - just be sure to get one for the right model Kindle. There are some great patterns to choose from (I have the Abolisher skin on my K3 and it almost looks like it is 3-D).

The skins I checked on had another promotion going, as well (not limited to those with a KSO): Get 25% off on select reading lights, if purchased at the same time (both must be in the cart and ordered using the full checkout process). If you don't have a light in your cover, I can definitely recommend any of the Mighty Bright models (which I've even used on a DX, with it's larger screen). I haven't tried one of the Verso models, but they use a rechargeable battery, which seems like it would be a bit plus (I try to limit the batteries I have to throw away, but some of the lights only use one-use size batteries).

You'll want to shop, early, too. I waited on one of the skin offers last year and it's still sitting in my open orders list (and I suspect I'll never get it). Since I used a KSO coupon code on it, if I cancel, I can't get as good a deal on another, so it just sits there, taunting me every time I check on it.

Listen to the classics for $0.99 (and earn $10)

This offer is on my Kindle with Special Offers (which you can turn on and off, of course, on some of the later eInk models), but is open to all in the US and Canada (and possibly some other countries, as well). The offer mentions listening on your Kindle, but you can listen to these on your PC or MP3 player, instead (I don't believe you even need a Kindle registered to your Amazon account, at all). You will need an Audible account (which may need to use the same login as your Amazon account), but need not be a subscriber to take advantage of the Deal.

Listen to the classics for only $0.99
  • Click HERE to start shopping. Use the Add to Cart button next to each audiobook you are interested in purchasing. Choose from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. After you are done, click View Cart to go to the next step.
  • For subscribers, be sure to uncheck the box next to Use Credit on each of the items and click on Update, otherwise you'll waste your monthly credits on the offer.
  • If you signed up for all five of the audiobooks, you should see a total of $4.95; click on Next Step.
  • On the next page, confirm your price (and double check that you haven't used any monthly credits), then click on Complete Purchase (note that any existing discounts will be used to cover the cost, first).
  • You'll then see download page for those who want to send the audiobooks directly to a Kindle (via WiFi only); you can ignore it and download the books later from the My Library page or any WiFi Kindle.
  • As a bonus, those who are eligible for the Listening Rewards program will find that these qualify as purchases and buying four or more will result in a $10 "discount" in your account next month! Even if you never listen to the four you buy, you can turn the $3.96 spent into a $10 discount on another audiobook due to this bonus deal.
You won't be able to use that $10 discount on the semi-annual Half-Price Sale that is currently going on, since it ends April 27, but you may want to check it out, as there are over 1,000 audiobooks currently on sale. Although some are much better deals if you use your monthly credits, others are low enough that a monetary purchase is the best choice. Since I still have a $5 discount left after taking advantage of this offer (apparently some sort of anniversary bonus that I found in my account), I'll be trolling thru the choices in search of a new book to listen to in the car.

If you want to give any of the $0.99 sale audiobooks as gifts, you can't do that from the main Offer page. But, if you click on the titles to get the product details page, you'll see that the 99 cent price carries thru and you'll have a green Give as Gift button.

Edit to add: I just noticed that there are still two days left in the contest to win Stephen King's new Dark Tower novel. Thru April 20, purchase one or more books from the list of audiobooks and your name is entered to win The Wind Through the Keyhole (releasing April 24). With a total of 77 books to choose from, you could earn up to 77 chances to win. Winners will be notified April 23. If you were going to buy one of these anyway, you might want to hurry up the purchase to get in on the contest.

KSO details (which can be completely ignored for this offer):
  1. First, turn on your Kindle with Special Offers, click Menu, then View Special Offers.
  2. Find the offer: Listen to a classic on your Kindle for only $0.99. Click on it, then on the link to Email Me This Offer.
  3. You will get an email from Amazon with a link to the Audible Offer page.
  4. Sign up for the offer expires on April 21 (but I can't find any expiration on the offer itself).
  5. Follow the above directions to take advantage of the offer.

Get $2 off a relaxing MP3 Album (KSO)

Sasha - Thanks for the comment this morning. Leave another with your email address and I'll send you the code for the bonus app: W.E.L.D.E.R. (iPad/iPhone)

This offer is only for those with a Kindle with Special Offers (which you can turn on and off, of course, on some of the later eInk models).

Get $2 off any one of 50 relaxing MP3 albums

To take advantage of this offer:
  1. First, turn on your Kindle with Special Offers, click Menu, then View Special Offers.
  2. Find the offer: Get $2 off any one of 50 relaxing MP3 albums. Click on it, then on the link to Email Me This Offer.
  3. You will get an email from Amazon with your promotional code, right away.
  4. Once you have the promotion code (and have selected your album; see below), click this link, then on the button labeled Enter Your Code, at any time up to the expiration date of May 13, 2012.
  5. Enter your code and follow the directions.
  6. Choose any of these albums and you'll get $2 off
You'll have a promotion code on your account that will apply to the FIRST album you buy (from the list) after that. Current prices range from about $3 to $10, but those can change at any time. You should save the code and not enter it until you are ready to buy an album. I find this helps me remember if I've used a code - when I go to apply it, if it isn't accepted, I know I've used that offer; also, I don't accidentally use an offer on a very inexpensive item (they won't pay you to get an album that's only 99 cents, for example).

To recap: you must claim the offer by April 13 and must do so from your Kindle with Special Offers. You'll get a promotion code via email and you have until May 13, 2012, to enter and redeem the code. Once you enter it, it will work on the next album from the list that you purchase.

There are definitely some strange selections in this one (space music?), with most of them music to meditate or practice yoga with. A number of them would work well in the background while reading (perhaps not the Gregorian Chants, though).

You won't find these on the KSO list, but all are of the same general type and are on sale for only 99 cents (or less), about as low as you could get from the KSO offer and they're available to everyone.
If you're willing to spend a dollar more, you might want to check out 99 Must-Have Piano Masterpieces or 99 Must-Have Chillout Classics, both of which appear to be very good selections.

Neutrogena: Get $10 Off $30 Order (KSO)

This offer is only for those with a Kindle with Special Offers (including any Kindle Touch or Kindle Keyboard that opts in to Special Offers, which means you can add the offers, grab this one, then turn them back off!):

Get $10 Off a $30 Purchase of Select Neutrogena® Items

Click on offer, then click on the link on the offer page to receive an email with the promo code. Sign-up for this offer expires on April 25.

You'll get an email (right away), a link to the Special Offer page and a promotion code to enter at checkout. Once you have the promotional code, you have until May 25, 2012 to complete your purchase. Like previous offers, this one requires you to use the full checkout process in order to enter your promotional code. Also, like all Amazon sales that use promotional codes, if you have a gift card balance, you must use it for the payment (if there is not a sufficient balance, then you can pick which credit card or other payment to use).

Limit one offer per customer and per device.

This deal has nearly the same selection as the last one, minus a few of the more popular items that have already sold out (only items on the linked page AND sold by Amazon qualify for the promotion). Overall, though, this offer is better than the last one, which was, at best, 25% off (and only if the two items purchased were of equal value). Also, this offer has a high enough purchase requirement that everyone will qualify for free super-saver shipping (which looks at the before coupon totals), if not a member of Prime.

I am having trouble getting the email to send on one of our Kindles, so it's a good thing that the deadline on this one is quite a ways off (it just keeps saying that it's unable to send an email, despite having no problem getting onto the Kindle store and a restart did nothing to fix the issue).

Buy one of 50 Humor titles for $1 (KSO)

This offer is only for those with a Kindle with Special Offers (including any Kindle Touch or Kindle Keyboard that opts in to Special Offers).

Buy one of 50 Humor titles for $1

To take advantage of this offer:
  1. First, turn on your Kindle with Special Offers, click Menu, then View Special Offers.
  2. Find the offer: Buy one of 50 Humor titles for $1. Click on it, then on the link to Email Me This Offer.
  3. You will get an email from Amazon with your promotional code, right away.
  4. Once you have the promotion code (and have selected your book; see below), click this link, then on the button labeled Enter Your Code, at any time up to the expiration date of May 8.
  5. Enter your code and follow the directions.
  6. Choose any of these books and you'll pay only $1.
You'll have a promotion code on your account that will apply to the FIRST book you buy (from the list) after that. Note that even if the book is free, you'll pay a dollar, so be careful which one you pick after you enter the code -- make sure you don't grabbing a low cost title by accident, which can happen if you apply the code right away, before you are ready to buy the book. Current prices range from $1.99 (not a great savings) to over $10. You should save the code and not enter it until you are ready to buy a book.

To recap: you must claim the offer by April 8 and must do so from your Kindle with Special Offers. You'll get a promotion code via email and you have until May 8 to enter and redeem the code. Once you enter it, it will work on the next book on the list that you purchase.

This is a repeat offer, although last time there were 100 books to choose from. The choices appear to be quite different this time around, though, and everyone should be able to find one book they spend a buck upon!

Neutrogena - Buy One Get One 50% Off (KSO)

This offer is only for those with a Kindle with Special Offers (including any Kindle Touch or Kindle Keyboard that opts in to Special Offers, which means you can add the offers, grab this one, then turn them back off!):

Buy One Neutrogena® Item, Get One 50% Off

Click on offer, then click on the link on the offer page to receive an email with the promo code. Sign-up for this offer expires on April 8.

You'll get an email (right away), a link to the Special Offer page and a promotion code to enter at checkout. Once you have the promotional code, you have until May 8, 2012 to complete your purchase. Like previous offers, this one requires you to use the full checkout process in order to enter your promotional code. Also, like all Amazon sales that use promotional codes, if you have a gift card balance, you must use it for the payment (if there is not a sufficient balance, then you can pick which credit card or other payment to use).

Limit one offer per customer and per device.

Shop early, of course, as their selection often dwindles as the offer goes on. This is another bonus offer, that isn't on the "normal" schedule (every 4 days, although some dates now get skipped), but it's also one that gives you plenty of time to sign up for it. If you don't see it on your Kindle, first try leaving the WiFi on for an hour or so and, if that doesn't work, try doing a Restart from the Settings menu (not a factory reset, though).

Get a $10 GC for $5 at Amazon

Although this offer is on my Kindle with Special Offers this morning, it isn't limited to those who have one. Everyone can visit AmazonLocal and buy the $10 Gift Certificate for $5 offer. You have to use a credit/debit card to make the purchase (not any gift balance), but everything is already linked up to your Amazon account. Once purchased, you'll get an emailed receipt after the deal is processed (which won't be right away, as it is when purchasing via Amazon; mine has been over an hour and I actually don't expect it until tomorrow). Once you have the receipt, go back to the AmazonLocal page and get the voucher with the certificate number, which you can then apply at Amazon.

This offer is for those with a Kindle with Special Offers (including any Kindle Touch or Kindle Keyboard that opts in to Special Offers, which means you can add the offers, grab this one, then turn them back off!).

Pre-order The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and get 50% off another mystery film

Click on offer, then click on the link on the offer page to receive an email with the promo code. Sign-up for this offer expires on March 24.

You'll get an email (right away), a link to the Special Offer page and a promotion code to enter at checkout.

Like previous offers, this one requires you to use the full checkout process in order to enter your promotional code. Also, like all Amazon sales that use promotional codes, if you have a gift card balance, you must use it for the payment (if there is not a sufficient balance, then you can pick which credit card or other payment to use).

Limit one offer per customer and per device.

Shop early, of course, as their selection often dwindles as the offer goes on. Also, I checked the prices yesterday and there has already been a $5 drop on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Three-Disc Combo Blu-ray / DVD + UltraViolet Digital Copy). As with any pre-order, you'll get the lowest price between the time you order and when it ships, so you might pay even less.

You'll have a promotion code on your account that will apply to the FIRST book you buy (from the list) after that. Note that even if the book is free, you'll pay a dollar, so be careful which one you pick after you enter the code -- make sure you don't grabbing a low cost title by accident, which can happen if you apply the code right away, before you are ready to buy the book. Current prices range from $4 to over $15. You should save the code and not enter it until you are ready to buy a book.

To recap: you must claim the offer by March 8 and must do so from your Kindle with Special Offers. You'll get a promotion code via email and you have until April 8, 2012 to enter and redeem the code. Once you enter it, it will work on the next book on the list that you purchase.

There are several interesting options in the choices for this offer (although a few are already on sale for $3.99), such as the book a current movie is based upon, We Bought a Zoo: The Amazing True Story of a Young Family, a Broken Down Zoo, and 200 Wild Animals, or Autobiography of Mark Twain: The Complete and Authoritative Edition, Volume 1, which you definitely don't want to have to hold in the paper edition (it's over 750 pages). There's a repeat of one title that sold out fast the last time it was on a $1 offer, The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl, so if you missed it then, you might want to use the offer right away to get it (I just did, as I was one of the ones that waited too long, last time).

Comments

Well, it looks like the offers are definitely slowed down. This one is exactly one month after the last MP3 offer (for a classical crossover album). In between, we've had exactly four offers (other than the ever present and not so local AmazonLocal deals). Then again, that's better than the month before (which had three offers bunched up at the beginning, then nothing for three weeks).

I missed one of the classical albums I was considering on the last offer (it went up in price, nearly double from the beginning of the offer), but that doesn't appear to be an issue with the albums on this offer's list, as they all appear to be full price, currently. However, it looks like two of the choices are already "unavailable" (don't know if it is a geographic restriction or if they sold out at the discount price, so the selection may dwindle over the month the offer is valid (then again, one or two might drop in price at the beginning of next month, as The Greatest Journey - Essential Collection by Celtic Woman has done with the Classical offer, which means it is only $3 with the KSO credit, least for the next two days!

Buy One Get One Free Sale at Audible


As a Leap Day special, Audible is having a Buy One Get One Free Sale for members that have a credit on their account. It does appear to be limited to those in the US and if you have the very, very old use-it-or-lose-it 2 credits a month sale, it doesn't seem to work for you either. For the rest of us, though, we can shop as many times as we have credits stored up in the special BOGO store, getting two books for the price of one! The cart in the special store allows only two books to be added at a time, then you click the Confirm button and check out. Return to the BOGO page after checkout to repeat the process for each credit. The site is running a bit slow, but it looks like it's definitely worth the effort to explore all the categories today.

If you aren't already a member at Audible (a subscribing member, not just have a login), you won't be able to see the sale. However, you could join with the 2-Free Audiobooks Gold Listener plan and should be able to take advantage of the sale. If you decide not to keep the plan after the first 30 days, just cancel with no further obligation.

Get $2 off an award-nominated film (KSO)

This offer is only for those with a Kindle with Special Offers:

Get $2 off an award-nominated film at Amazon Instant Video

Click on offer, then click on the link on the offer page to receive an email with the promo code. Sign-up for this offer expires on February 26.

You'll get an email (right away), a link to the redemption page. This one works like a gift card and you need to apply the credit to your account first, before going shopping. Once you have entered the promotional code, you have until March 26, 2012. to complete your purchases.

I recommend that you apply the credit right away, since it works on any qualifying video purchase or rental - then you can shop on the web, from your Kindle Fire or your Roku (the XD and LT are currently $10 off, but the XS includes Angry Birds) and it will be used automatically.

You do have to be a bit careful - the link at the top of the redemption page sends you to the main Amazon Instant Video page; however, only those listed on the eligible titles will get the credit applied.

Get $15 off swimwear (KSO)

This offer is only for those with a Kindle with Special Offers:

You'll get an email (right away), a link to the Special Offer page and a promotion code to enter at checkout. Once you have the promotional code, you have until March 19, 2012 to complete your purchase.

Also, like all Amazon sales that use promotional codes, if you have a gift card balance, you must use it for the payment (if there is not a sufficient balance, then you can pick which credit card or other payment to use).

Limit one offer per customer and per device.

Shop early, of course, as their selection often dwindles as the offer goes on, but this early in the year, they shouldn't sell out of too much. This is a bonus offer, that isn't on the "normal" schedule (every 4th day), so you may not have though to check your Kindle today to find it.

You'll get an email (right away), a link to the Kindle Special Offer page and a promotion code to enter at checkout. Once you have the promotional code, you have until March 16 to complete your purchase. Like previous offers, this one requires you to use the full checkout process in order to enter your promotional code. Also, like all Amazon sales that use promotional codes, if you have a gift card balance, you must use it for the payment (if there is not a sufficient balance, then you can pick which credit card or other payment to use).

Limit one offer per customer and per device.

If this offer is run like previous ones, it pays to grab any cover you want early, rather than late. Once they run out of a particular style and color (and I already see three color choices that are sold out), then they are not replenished during the sale. Those that wait, end up with less selection (usually the more expensive or less popular models). One interesting looking choice I see is the "Dinner Jacket" style, which has a pocket on teh front to hold your license and a credit card or some cash (or a hotel key), eliminating the need for a purse in some cases.

Save $2 on MP3 Albums

This deal is for everyone, whether you have a Kindle or not!

Save $2 on Valentine's Day MP3 Album Gifts

Note that the offer page says "gifts", but since you can gift the album to yourself, that isn't really an issue. In fact, it also says "Valentine's Day MP3 Albums", but it is really for any album with a price of $5 or more:
Happy Valentine's Day! Through midnight February 14, send any MP3 album of $5 or more to your friends and loved ones, and get $2 off with code GIFTLOVE.
That means that you can choose any album from this month's 100 MP3 Albums for $5 and pay only $3! You do have to use the Gift option, though, as that is the only way to get the page that allows you to enter the promo code, GIFTLOVE, before you checkout:
3. Follow the instructions to personalize your MP3 album gift and click the "Proceed to Checkout" button. Ensure the "Select the entire album as a gift" option is selected. (If you do not currently have a credit card and billing address associated with your account, you will need to add them.)

4. On the checkout page, enter code GIFTLOVE in the box labeled "Have any gift cards, gift certificates, or promotional claim codes?" and click the "Apply" button. Your $2 credit will be added. If you receive an error, make sure you've entered the code correctly and that the promotion is still valid and has not expired.
There is a limit of one per customer, but nothing says that you and your Valentine's Day choice of partner can't send each other an album apiece, so long as you have separate accounts.

Amazon has a button that lets you share the deal with everyone via FaceBook or Twitter, but if you appreciate finding the deal here, why don't you share a link to this post instead?

Buy some Romance for $1 (KSO)

This offer is for those with a Kindle with Special Offers (including any Kindle Touch or Kindle Keyboard that opts in to Special Offers, which means you can add the offers, grab this one, then turn them back off!).

Get one of 100 Romance eBook titles for $1

To take advantage of this offer:
  1. First, turn on your Kindle with Special Offers, click Menu, then View Special Offers.
  2. Find the offer: Get one of 100 Romance eBook titles for $1. Click on it, then on the link to Email Me This Offer.
  3. You will get an email from Amazon with your promotional code, right away.
  4. Once you have the promotion code (and have selected your book; see below), click this link, then on the button labeled Enter Your Code, at any time up to the expiration date of March 12, 2012.
  5. Enter your code and follow the directions.
  6. Choose any of these books and you'll pay only $1.
You'll have a promotion code on your account that will apply to the FIRST book you buy (from the list) after that. Note that even if the book is free, you'll pay a dollar, so be careful which one you pick after you enter the code -- make sure you don't grabbing a low cost title by accident, which can happen if you apply the code right away, before you are ready to buy the book. Current prices range from free (you don't want to pay a dollar for a free book) to $8.83 (a 4-in-1 omnibus from Robyn Carr). You should save the code and not enter it until you are ready to buy a book.

To recap: you must claim the offer by February 12 and must do so from your Kindle with Special Offers. You'll get a promotion code via email and you have until March 12, 2012 to enter and redeem the code. Once you enter it, it will work on the next book on the list that you purchase.

Even without a KSO, there are a number of under $3 bargains in the selection list. There are two omnibus editions (the other is western/cowboy romance) and one from Mercedes Lackey that is more fantasy than romance. For the guys (or gals) that don't read romance, remember that you can also gift the book to someone else and only spend a buck on their Valentine's Day gift (just don't let them find out!). Don't wait to long to choose, though, as there is already one that has gone to "not available."
