Because I’m not sure were else to put this, I figured a post on deals was the nest bet.
I recently received a deal of sorts from Amazon.They sen an email to me with the Subject: “Matthew, here’s a $5 credit toward your Wish List read”.
The body of the text explained it a little further:
“Thank you for adding Cassandra at the Wedding (New York Review Books Classics) to your Wish List. We have applied a $5 Kindle book credit to your account to use on this book.
You can claim this credit within 7 days from when it is applied to your account.”
I added this book to my wish list on May 31st 2019.
Now the interesting thing is this credit does not only apply to this book, but it also does not apply to all Kindle books. I can’t quite figure out the rhyme or reason of what it works on. It seems like it’s specific to Random House books, but it works on some and not others. It’s not author specific as I can use it on Pale Fire by Nabokov, but not Pnin.
Anyway, thought I’d give you the heads up.
