Hey folks,
We are launching a new, free, Amazon Hidden Discount Finder tool, hopefully in this week's email.
And that means we really need some MoneySavers to put it through its paces, testing it and trying to find any bugs! If you've got five minutes it'd be really helpful.
Here is the link: Amazon Hidden Discount Finder
Please give us your feedback / report glitches / what could improve it?
Won't give you too many hints on how to use it, as hopefully that will be obvious, and if it isn't then your feedback will be very valuable! Also please let us know if your favourite shopping category is missing and you'd like us to add it.
And let us know if its easily useable and no glitches
Please let us know what you think! (we've a few minor tweaks to make yet)
IF YOU DO FIND A BUG PLEASE TELL US WHAT BROWSER AND OPERATING SYSTEM YOU'RE ON
Martin
Update after reading below: We will add in the video games by console, we will sort the button crashing issue. As for the classical music 5,000 results - not that much we can do on that - except go to 90% off discounts. As for the % not always working -t hat's amazons sorting not ours but we'll put a disclaimer in.

great new tool, i dont know why but when i get the results page
my zonealarm pops up a warning that this site (moneysavingexpert.com)
might be a phishing site and i should not continue.

Very simple to use and I could not see any missing categories based on what I'd buy.
Even found some cheap earphones :T.
This next comment is cheeky but no harm in asking.
I have on occasions managed to notice the weblinks loading as Amazon have directed me to the seller's site, then managed an even cheaper price by going direct to them.
Is this an option on the results page, including the seller details?
Or is this detriment to Amazon not something to be encouraged to do through the MSE site?0 -
Can't click on checkbox to 'Show only Free Delivery Items', just catches the 'Go' button. Also chose Video Games 90%+ option and there were games that weren't even 33% off even on 2nd hand prices. HTHThis site rocks and has saved me loads -
thanks to all those that post on the forums and have saved me money0 -
The 90% doesn't only show me things that have 90% or more off - tried it on All Books, just Young Fiction and Electronics - I got things that we're just 50% off
xxJust started cashback-ing - makes me feel less guilty when I impulse buy!0 -
Great, easy to use....will be very usefulNever put off until tomorrow what you can avoid doing altogether.:D0

Don't know if it's Amazon at fault or the tool, but...
I.ve just tried a search for books (various categories) and 90% off.
Just glancing at the first few I don't see 90% off. One example from science and nature(?)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search/rh=n:57,p_8:90-99,p_76:1-?!!!!!moneysavingex-21
Its' RRP is £3.99 and you save 90p with Amazon. From a marketplace seller it's 41p+£2.75.
Unless my arithmetic is all wrong neither of these options make the book 90% off
Or does this tool not include the postage associated with the marketplace? If so then that's wrong imo.

Under video games it would be good to select the console type rather than just the genre.

Looks great, fast and easy to use, only problem i have come across is same as above, the 'show only free delivery items' seems to be hidden behind the 'Go' button, could it be made smaller?Kat :money:0

Looks great, easy to use, very fast and I like the show only free delivery check box.0
