Free £5 Amazon gift certificate when you spend £20 (merged)

JPS

Spend £20 on anything on Amazon.co.uk, and they will e-mail you a £5 gift certificate which can be used on anything on your next order - offer is on from today until June 5th. Seems like a good offer to me!!

"Place an order for £20 or more before the World Cup starts, and we shall send you a £5 gift certificate to be used during the tournament. Spend it on anything you like from Amazon.co.uk--whether that's a big-screen TV to make the most of it, or a stack of paperbacks to bury your head in until it's over.

For the two weeks between May 23 2006 and June 5 2006, every time you spend £20 or more on purchases from Amazon.co.uk, you will receive a £5 gift certificate by e-mail to spend on further purchases from Amazon.co.uk. Simply use the promotional code which appears on your e-mail gift certificate when you make your next purchase over £20, and £5 will be deducted from your order total at checkout.
But hurry--this promotion closes at midnight on June 5 2006, and gift certificates must be used by midnight on 26 June 2006!"

Seems that you get a £5 voucher when you spend £20, but that this £5 voucher has a minimum spend of another £20. Atleast thats how I read it. In which case, doesnt sound all that fantastic for me atleast, unless your planning on spending a total of £40 on two orders...it might be a good deal. Correct me if I am wrong though, terms and conditions are a bit tricky.

Hi,

Is that an affiliate link?

Sorry if its not...

So can you actually spend £20 vouchers already saved to get the extra £5 voucher?

Bl**dy typical. I made two separate purchases from Amazon on Sunday, both exceeding £20 :mad:

Just checked the link and no, it's not an affiliate link

Nope I would never post an affiliate link on here. And even though youe have to spend over £20 on the following order, it also means you only have to be buying something for £15, you can add something you want for a fiver (like a CD or DVD) and then use the voucher so you are only paying for example, £15.02.

Also, I order from Amazon all the time so I think it's a great offer, and it doesn't say anywhere that you are limited to using just one voucher per transaction

If your order isn't dispatched, why not cancel and place it again. Just an idea

I posted about this offer in the Discount Codes and Vouchers board yesterday. See my thread for info about preorders (post 7).
