The Cyber Monday Deals Thread

Pincher

American Express had a My Offer, which was spend £20 on Amazon, get £10 cashback. So I trundled over on 4th December, and bought a pair of RAM chips, for my laptop.


It's supposed to be £32.94 inc VAT, and eligible for Free Delivery. Somehow, it ended up as £24.94 .




Order Summary

Item(s) Subtotal:
£27.45

Postage & Packing:
£3.33


Total Before VAT:
£30.78

VAT:
£6.15


Total:
£36.93

Promotion Applied:
-£11.99


Grand Total:
£24.94





So paid £24.94 with Amex on 4th December. This is the Amex online statement:


05 Dec 2015 AMAZON CO UK RETAIL
-£10.00 04 Dec 2015 AMAZON UK RETAIL AMAZON.CO.UK


04 Dec 2015 AMAZON UK RETAIL AMAZON.CO.UK
£24.94

So, Amex credited the £10 cashback the next day.




The fun thing is, there is a further 2.5% cashback on £24.94 for shopping in the Amex anniversary month. That is about 62p. So, the RAM upgrade cost £14.32 .


Now, the original SODIMM Ram chip is doing nothing, so I put it on eBay. Assuming I can sell it for £10, plus postage, I will have upgraded my laptop for £4.32!


Tried to recreate the deal today, but it's firmly stuck at £32.95, still Free Delivery. So, Cyber Monday was a great deal for me.
