Amazon.co.uk 15% off certain stock via kids wish list

Hallaz

First order on a "kids wish list" looks to allow 15% off certain goods.

The kids wish lists goods includes nintendo switches, lego so could be a good saving for some.

it's fiddly but i think you need to wait up to 24 hours for the wish list to become live. Also if i read correctly it can only be used once per kid so either put in a big order or have a lot of kids!

I got...

"There was a problem. The promotional code you entered cannot be applied to your purchase."

When I tried to order a Nintendo Switch through this offer the other day, not sure what the problem is as it was the first time I created a kids wish-list(as I have no children:D) and I still get the same error now days later.

Did you get the email to say you qualified ?

Nope, maybe I'm ineligible because I think I got a voucher from an older promotion to setup a normal amazon wish-list a while back.

Hallaz

I had trouble getting the 15% discount code to work.
I received no email, it was supposed to apply automatically after first item was added to kids wish list and go live within 24 hours.

I contacted amazon via web chat and they confirmed to me that I would received the 15% discount after I have received the goods once I contact them

does it have to be a kids' item? Or could I use it for Ring doorbell?

You need to set up to see what is available.
If you set up kids wish list it will bring you to a separate page (kids version of amazon?) and only certain items are there. No doorbell I imagine but do have collectors edition of lego, consols etc

Set up a kids wish list at the weekend. Didn’t get an email but I used the code at the checkout and it gave me 15% off. Thanks OP. Nice start to the Christmas shopping.

KayeQ

It worked for me, got some few games and the Nintendo console. I set up the account yesterday and tried the code today and it worked. Thanks OP!

Is working now

Trying to preorder the Nintendo Game/Watch and using the code gives me "The promotional code you entered cannot be applied to your purchase."

That's the message I originally got a few days ago. Didn't get an email or anything, just tried it again today and worked

Thanks OP, worked for me. Nintendo Switch & games ordered

did the 15% come off it all or just the console?

WhoamI2022

Can you do once or multiple times?

Video game items excluded in T&C's

Worked on all items added through the kids list section.

I have a Nintendo Switch & 2 games as part of my order and the 15% discount was applied to all items. in the order.

You just have to make sure you add items that are in the Kids Wish List section.

Smurts

When did you place the order? It is not working for me - I have been onto customer service all morning and last night too and they say video game items are not included and theres nothing they can do

Hurrache

Not working for me yet either, but I've only set the list up this morning so maybe not applicable yet.
So basically you add them to the Kids list, go to the kids list and add them to the basket from there?

SEORG

I placed the order on Monday

Smurts

Yep I think they changed the T&C's since to exclude video games

Yeah, there was even a filter for Video games at the top of the page.

FYI - I can't login to the Kids Wish List now but I'm not sure if that is because I have placed my order or if there is another issue.

Hurrache

If I add some random kids book, I still can't apply the discount code so maybe it's just a matter of waiting.

Smurts

I followed all the steps and waited a day and a half before ordering but it is only applying against some items even though I picked items from the list that amazon provided - had a number of conversations with the customer service but they werent budging

That's interesting, I got 15% applied to all my items in the basket, 2 of them were not from the kids list.

Good to know. Everything in my order had been added through the kids wish list so I couldn't give an answer on the other stuff tbh.

Sounds like they may have changed the T&C's around some items already though.

Just off the chat with Amazon support, The code is not eligible to purchase any video game products.

SEORG

I hope mine doesn't get canceled

KayeQ

Definitely I got discount on the 3 games I ordered.

Smurts

They must have changed the T&C's since then, I have been back and forth with their customer service and they will not apply the discount!

Smurts

When did you place the order though? I think they updated the T&C's on Tuesday

ButtersSuki

Set up a list on Monday but still no email.....I see some of you have managed to proceed without the email, what code are you using?

Code is in the first post


I never got email, I have done one order and got 40 pounds off 2 items. Then worked out hwo to use proper so logged into wife account and put loads onto wish list. Maybe 60% of it after I checked 24 hours later had a reduction

Some items didn't

SEORG

Received an email notification today that the console & games have been shipped.

Hallaz

The screenshot picture in the initial post says nothing about video games and accessories being excluded so for anyone not getting a reduction on certain items it wouldn't harm to show them this picture.

Nothing on our kids list seems eligible for the discount

I was the same, I chased them up on webchat and they agreed to refund me the 15% after I received the goods (which they did)

Make up a new kid and try again in 24hours

(I'm not saying a stork will deliver the kid to you in 24 hours.. rather it takes 24hours for the wish list to become "live"!)

Interesting, does it say anywhere that everything on your list will be eligible for the discount, just assumed Harry Potter left wasn't although non toys didn't get a discount either.

Nothing was discounting for me but all were added via kids wish list.
People have had different levels of success/automatic discount applying etc so I can't give the right answer.

To check you are adding the harry potter item via attached picture?

If so I would get onto webchat to sort/query

Thanks, no was adding via normal part of app on phone, is there a link to the kids list screen as you posted or maybe I should try on a laptop.

post # 1 instructions worked for me on a pc. I don't know how it works in app.

Sheep Shagger

Thanks, much easier to work with on laptop over the app and it worked on the lego - thanks

Two accounts and 2 separate lists and none work.....and I got the email!

Customer service unable to help as they say if I qualified I would have received the discount when I checked out. It seems very much the luck of the draw who you get on customer service these days! Only selected items from the list so baffled as to why it's not working. Will try again in a few days.

Per attached, mine now says I do not qualify.
If yours says the same perhaps you do not qualify as may a wish list promotion used previously.
Maybe time to set up a third account!
