Amazon discount- today only - Page 3

Thank you! I had four books in my cart, but was trying to wait, since I just received the four I ordered last week - but I took advantage, got the discount and the free s/h, so I justified (to myself) my purchase.

@gidgetgh I wonder how they came up with such an odd amount? $8.62.

@gidgetgh Amazon was no. 1 on the Harris Poll 2017 Reputation Quotient with a score of 86.27 excellent. That's where they got the $8.62.
You'd think they'd have rounded it up to $8.63, right? Not that I'm quibbling...

@noodleann- they DID round up!

It was 86.27, and 10% of that is 8.627, and rounded up, that's 8.63, not 8.62. Is there something I'm missing, or did the basic rules of math change while I was taking out the trash?

What I'm missing is why anyone would want to gripe about rounding down? Sheesh.

It would have been nice if they put the basic restriction 'only fulfilled by Amazon' in the email- rather than havng to click on 'Learn More'. I didn't click on the link becase I figured it was a more detailed promo about the Harris Poll ranking. I had the minimum in my cart after going through my wish list a bit- and then the code didn't work. I've had coupon snafus with Amazon several times and I figured it was the same thing again. Grrrr- it's a major oet peeve of mine when coupon code restrictions aren't right out there for the consumer to see !

On Monday I bought an All Clad 12" frying pan with lid from Amazon LLC. It was $109.00. I missed out on today's deal!

PS well, it cost considerably less than the Q price, so I did make out okay, but still...

I think Amazon was very clear that the coupon only worked for items both sold and shipped by Amazon. Like Sunny, I had just purchased several household items over the past week. I decided to get some of the items from my wishlist wich I would have purchased eventually, in order to take advantage of the saving.
