Catwoman Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) NOTE: I posted this when the expiration date for the code was 12/14, but Kareni just posted that the code is now good until 12/18. Thanks, Kareni! Here's my original post with the new date: I don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but you can get $5.00 off a book purchase of $15.00 or more at Amazon.com if you enter the code BOOKGIFT17 at checkout. The offer expires on 12/18. :) You don't just have to buy one $15.00 book -- you can buy multiple books, as long as the total is $15.00 or more and you have all of them in your cart when you check out .

Regards, Kareni I contacted Amazon and told them I purchased a book without using the code and they refunded $5 to my credit card. I was surprised, but delighted!

rdj2027 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Most of what I have in my cart is between $13.49 to $14.99 so I guess no deal as I wait to see if a better used copy pops up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! This code even works on pre-orders! I just pre-ordered the next Flavia de Luce book that comes out in January for myself 😊, and the Christmas scratch-n-sniff book from another thread. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixpix5 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I contacted Amazon and told them I purchased a book without using the code and they refunded $5 to my credit card. I was surprised, but delighted! Try it! Amazon is so great about doing things like this. I was actually going to post some amazon praise because I called in to inquire about why sometimes a return results in an automatic refund once ups scans it in and other times you have to wait. I really just called to inquire but it was a small vent because I wanted I had a returned gift I needed to replace and I didn't really want to wait long (first world problems) anyway, as I was talking to her she says "well, there isn't much I can do but I see you have spent a lot with us and are a really good customer so I am giving you a $30 dollar credit to your account for you to enjoy. Happy Holidays." I was stunned. At first I thought it was part of giving me my refund but then she said "no, this is separate for being a valued prime member" I felt like I had to pinch myself. It was so incredibly nice! I also took advantage of the $5 dollars off $15 dollars by ordering the Doctor Who encyclopedia for one DS and a How to Draw Animals book for the other. It came to almost 16 dollars before applying the discount. Awesome deal :) I know one day I will eat my words when Amazon has shut down every brick and mortar and can jack their prices up but I really so love Amazon. It is wonderful :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

displace Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Usually new books only, but maybe not? I just bought another book I was waffling on because it’s currently out of stock. So, I guess I don’t need to check around, just wait for it to become available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just going to answer your question, Mark, but I see that katilac beat me to it. :) It might be worth checking the prices for new books because once you use the code, the brand new book might end up being cheaper than a used copy, especially if you have Prime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serenade Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) Sigh, I went and ordered several books to get above the $15. At least I saved money :lol: The book I wanted was $14.82. I ended up adding a little board book about squirrels that was $2.50 for my niece. A book about squirrels was on my sis's wishlist for my niece, so even though I was done shopping for her, I bought it anyhow because essentially it cost me nothing. The $5 paid all of the tax, the board book, and a tiny bit of the book I wanted to begin with. LOL. It seems like so many books on my wishlist are in the 13 - 15 dollar range.
