jacqui in mo Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Could you enlighten me as to where to find this? I don't see it on Amazon.com and don't understand what you mean by local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Could you enlighten me as to where to find this? I don't see it on Amazon.com and don't understand what you mean by local. Type in local.amazon.com in your address bar. You don't have to be a member of amazon local (there's nothing in my small city), but at the top you'll see a link to the gift card promotion. And thank you to the OP! I ordered mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacqui in mo Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Thanks Kathy! Another question for anybody. Is this just a virtual gc or that shows up in an online account, or will you receive an actual gc in the mail? The local amazon thing says something about: "To redeem your gift card using the Amazon.com 1-Click® service, first add the gift card funds to Your Account. To redeem or view a GC balance, visit “Your Account†on Amazon.com." This is what I'm not understanding. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word Nerd Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Update: My card shows a charge of $5 made this morning, but I never received an email with the gift card number, and now instead of Processing under My Vouchers, it says "there are no deals of this type to show." I'm rather :mad: at the moment and hope they either give me a refund (I don't have an AmazonLocal in my state, so maybe that's the issue?) or send me the code.

Word Nerd Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I am having the same problem! Now what? I noticed on a couple of other forums and the Facebook AmazonLocal page that a lot of people are having the same issue. Someone said she called customer service and there's quite a backlog to go through. I ordered at around 9 or so this morning and the code just came through by email (the voucher shows up on Your Vouchers now too), so prepare for a long wait!

jacqui in mo Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I finally got my email confirmation this morning. Actually the time stamp says I got it at 4:30 yesterday, but I didn't see it then. Surely the rest of you will get it soon. I don't quite understand how it is taking that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
