    Im having an issue signing up for it.
    Keep getting an error message

    It dosnt seem to be applying the deal at checkout. Still coming up as full price. Any solution to this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,824 ✭✭✭ShooterSF


    Also, be warned, that I ordered a phone and in a fairly ironic turn (it being prime day and me being a prime customer), it wont arrive until the middle of next week.

    Got onto to them a while back when this happened and they gave me a free month. Not sure they still do that and have seen on the site that some delays can happen but no harm in hitting up support...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,741 ✭✭✭honda boi


    Seen now they've taken down the £10 credit with audible.

    I'm seeing more and more products have a disclaimer underneath the price

    Longer delivery than typical Prime items [Learn More]

    ...which covers them for late deliveries.

    Yes you can. 100%.
    There are a load of apps and options.
    Too many to mention. Video players, media centers, Apps etc..
    Many come with the option installed.
    Look up bubbleupnp or vlc I can't think of them all now, few beers down me and music playing

    The £10 Audible deal has T&C’s that said it lasted the full two days, so kinda wrong for them to pull it like that.

    This is happening to me with everything I try to buy on both a business account and a regular one both prime enabled.

    I'm after missing out on some IT deals for work I would have purchased. CS not interested.

    Is there an additional discount if you buy two Fire HD 8 tablets?

    That was with audible though, I had cancelled it initially and could prove it, but seemingly there are 2 audibles, one being in America or something like that that wasn’t cancelled.
    That was a couple of years ago, do they even do live chat anymore.

    Back on track, the 4K stick is well worth a punt as it can be side loaded too

    In relation yo the audible error;
    are people using same card for two accounts? This may be the problem.
    I am going to try different cards today :)

    I used different cards and addresses. Worked on one, not the other.

    There is still live chat on the audible site I used it yesterday.
    But the fact you let it run for years will play against you...did you download audio books in that time?

    Nah, just never check my account, and you're right I think was audible chat I was on to, money back in account in minutes mind you.

    Think I got one of the last ones here. The price went straight up after I checked out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,795 ✭✭✭sweetie


    The £10 discount for installing assistant. Is that valid on that browser only or anywhere on your account? Mine seems to have vanished.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭nitromaster


    Crap. I never realized that. I must have ordered something and clicked a box or something so. Disaster. That’s a LOT of money on absolutely nothing.



    Customer service are great, you’ll probably get most back!

    if setting up and using a new account to avail of these, do you have to use a new/different payment card too?

    i just got on to them on chat and they automatically added the £5 for installing the app. They did it without asking any questions !

    They have great customer service. The benchmark for all others. We had a Shark vacuum go kaput 2 months after the manufacturer warranty expired. We had bought it on Amazon so went back to them to complain. After a small bit of back and forth they allowed us to return it and refunded the full amount.

    Do the amazon assistant and £80 top up discounts stack or do they only apply to separate transactions? I can see my amazon assistant one is applying but no sign of the £8 off.

    I can't see the £8 top up either. My gift card balance is showing £80

    Ah my balance is £88 now, for some reason I was expecting to see the £8 come off the transaction but that makes sense now. Sickened I missed the audible one now.

    Did you enable the extra £8 offer before topping up?

    He got £28 pounds free on each account and bought a fire stick with that money.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Haven't seen anything apart from maybe bottle or two of Whiskey that I'd consider buying. Girlfriend on the other hand has bought a few things and would buy more if she had the money.

    I've noticed same thing with this sale before seems to be very hit and miss.

    I just installed Amazon assistant but no credit seem to be applied to my account is there something I need to do to add it on?

    I went to checkout with some items and it's still not there.


  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,396 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    Bah, assistant discount seems fickle. Won't apply to a nintendo switch but would to other items.

    Will take it off at checkout. Seems to be dependent on what you're buying though.

    Edit: Actually no it;'s all over the place, just isn't applying it at all now for some reason even though I could see it on the exact same item earlier.
