    At the bottom of the Alexa amazon app there are the options home, communicate, play, devices.
    Is it one of these I elect to communicate the firestick option?

    communicate

    got this also, didn't need it but I'm sure I'll get some use out of it.

    The chat help are clueless :D

    Me: I'm getting an error on my phone which says “I’m sorry but I can only shop in the primary language associated with your Amazon account. If you’d like to switch languages, go to Settings in the Alexa app, select your device, and then select Language.”
    Chat: Can I have your Echo serial number
    Me: I don't have one, I'm using a phone
    Chat: You need to have an Echo device linked to your phone
    Me: Really? Can you link me to the documentation on this?
    Chat: You need to change the language to English on your phone app menu
    Me: How do I do this. I don't see any option?
    Chat: May I ask if you are in Ireland
    Me: No, I'm in the UK currently but from Ireland originally. English is my primary language
    Chat: I'll update your account settings

    :pac:

    Press the Alexa button at the bottom of the app screen and say "Alexa I want to buy Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K ultra" that will add it to your amazon basket. Go to checkout on the amazon app and the discount will be applied.

    This will also work for an Amazon Echo Show 5 which gets reduced to £49.99, again go to app and say "Alexa I want to buy Alexa Echo Show 5 Black/White"

    pressed alexa button and no option for phone to receive a message

    Thanks op. I'd wanted to get one for ages as it's always the recommended one for Kodi etc.
    Missus is buying a tv and I wanted to get her one also but seems it only works for one.
    If I can cast easily I'll give her my Chromecast and set her up on her phone with some apps.
    I was tempted to wait until Friday to see if there's a general sale but at this stage I pulled the trigger on one to test.

    Fixed language issue in Amazon.com settings. I had to reassign to UK.

    Cheers ordered one there for Home TV..

    Just wondering is it only the Fire TV and Echo Show 5 you can get at a discount price by asking Alexa?


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,584 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    I reckon these will be sold at this price during Black Friday, this is probably just an advance sale for those with Alexa setup.

    Is this the same 4K stick as sold last year or is the "Ultra" version a new model?

    I take it Kodi can still be installed no prob?

    This is the version I got from it:

    Also scratch my above message i found the link that shows the discounts with alexa:

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/b?ie=UTF8&node=12469013031

    EDIT: Yeah they probably will be same price for Black Friday deal but I believe they sold out during Amazon week (or at least didn't have stock for weeks)

    If you tap the light blue circle in the centre bottom, you will hear a bleep sound and an X appears.. You can now speak into the microphone.

    If you purchase £50 gift card you could also be entitled to £6 credit.

    For those who haven't purchased a gift card in the previous 36 months.

    Maybe reinstalling the app might work!!
    I tried it on Monday and couldn't get it working, reinstalled it today and it works fine..Alexa could be temperamental :-)

    Thanks OP, ordered to Parcel Motel, got extra £5 off for installing the Amazon shopping app.

    I've installed the app but don't seem to be getting an extra 5 off. Is there something I need to do?

    I changed my settings too and it didn't work but once the customer service agent updated my location it worked immediately


  • Registered Users Posts: 612 ✭✭✭mikekerry

    thanks

    Can't you check with Alexa what account it's linked to via an app on your phone like you can with Google home?


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,584 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez

    Not sure. I checked the App and it says the Echo is Registered to my name, but doesn't say the email.

    All my amazon accounts are in my name.

    Ah I'll just log into the most used ones and see what's in the basket.

    I had same problem, but the lads in the chat help, changed my account from .com to .co.uk and it worked fine then. Now it took them over two hours and 8 people to do it but it got done( the previous 7 didnt have a clue what to do, last lad did it in 2 mins and all was sorted)

    Anyone remember how to change your Amazon video account to the UK one?

    I think you need to contact Amazon directly. Just changing the setting does not seem to work. I neededto get onto them in chat.

    I think I changed my default address and device location to UK before contacting CS last time I did it. Does that still need to be done? This is for a friend but it's been a while since I did it.

    I think so. I done it last week. Changed all the settings locally but could not get Prime to work on Firestick. It worked on phone, PC, labtop, etc but not Firestick.
    Had to tell customer service I had recently moved to UK and they changed something on my account. You do need a UK payment card though. I set up a Revoult account and linked to my Amazon. They give you a virtual card.

    Theres a thread here to keep on topic, loads of Amazon Prime advice for setting up.
