I stumbled across a potential deal this morning on the new Kindle Paperwhite for Kindle Unlimited members, but so far for me it doesn’t work as advertised. Maybe you’ll have better luck.
On the main landing page for the new Kindle Paperwhite there’s a note below the price that says this: “As a Kindle Unlimited member, you get 25% off by choosing 5 monthly payments.”
However, the discount isn’t being applied when I proceed to checkout so I don’t know what the problem is. It still shows 5 payments of $28.00 regardless.
The terms and conditions state the discount only applies to the 8GB version of the Kindle Paperwhite, and the offer is only available to US residents. You need to have a Kindle Unlimited membership to get the discount, but the terms state the offer is by invite only and may not be available to every Kindle Unlimited member.
Since I’m seeing the offer I assumed it would work for me but apparently not. Is anyone else having luck getting 25% off on the new Kindle Paperwhite with this deal?
You can try signing up for a free trial of Kindle Unlimited to see if you get the deal too. Just make sure to cancel before the end of the trial to avoid getting charged $9.99 per month.
I’m a Kindle Unlimited member and I don’t see the offer. But I also don’t see any option for choosing 5 monthly payments.
Ditto, I’m not seeing the 25% offer either.
I actually do see the offer, and I bought one despite not getting the discount. Before ordering a CS rep said they would refund me the difference of the discount afterwards but the rep I talked to at that point said it’s not possible. Wouldn’t recommend it.
I don’t see it but I bought the kid’s version a few weeks ago with a trade-in and $30 Amazon gift card credit, net cost $62, so I’m satisfied.
I did the same. What a great.deal for a Kindle! I didn’t notice it until I saw Nathan’s post about it. Thanks Nathan!
I have the same offer and can’t access the discount at checkout, either.
Yeah, it’s a weird deal. I guess they just expect us to trust the fact they’ll drop the final payment.
Same issue just now. Subscribed to Kindle Unlimited to get the promotion of 25% off the Kindle Paperwhite with monthly payments. No discount was applied or promotional code received.
Customer service gave me a bunch of excuses from “out of stock of the discounted Kindles” to “you will get a refund after you purchase it at regular price” yeah right.
There should be a class action lawsuit for false advertising.
