If you are an amazon prime member and don't use the free 2 day shipping on your order you'll get $1 towards MP3's.

Doesn't mention anything about one per account in the T&C

Interesting concept, though for $1 in MP3s, I doubt I'll be accepting their offer anytime soon.

+1.
For $1 off anything there are things I would accept that for.

Pay me not to use the service I paid for...strange.

If you have no need for the item in 2 days why not? and you would still be getting free shipping

I got spoiled and now I expect the item to come the next business-day (70% of the time it does with the 2-day option IME).

Often enough when I'm in no rush I find it elsewhere (ebay/newegg) for cheaper than Amazon. I guess I might do it when I'm buying on Amazon due to a special even though it's not something I was looking to buy (like the recent 12-sharpies-for-$5.88 deal).

Now that I've got ShopRunner (thanks to you), I guess I'll have other options even if I'm in a rush.

I even get free same-day delivery on many items up until 2am or so!

That has happened to me in the past, but it isn''t consistent.

Slightly OT, is there any compensation for a Prime order not arriving within the 'guaranteed' time-frame?

Where do your orders ship from?
Mine come from IN or KY, so they're always extremely quick.

PA IIRC, but (IIRC) I've received some from KY overnight.

Yup, first he offered me a month's extension for my Prime membership, but I turned it down and got offered this

YMMV.

Doesn't work on this 40c product www.amazon.com/dp/B004ZKECAA/?tag=cl03f-20 to get $1 for 40c. That would have been a 60% saving on mp3 credit.

ShmuliT · « **Reply #13 on:** November 21, 2011, 10:21:57 PM »

Did a little looking around and found this $0.43c useless product which qualifies for the $1 mp3 credit: www.amazon.com/dp/B000YE8JY6/?tag=cl03f-20

Total after tax is: $0.47c

Thats more than a 50% discount on amazon mp3 credit

Note: In the T&C it doesnt mention any limits!

Nice find.

Can I get an AmazonMP3 gift code (to apply to a different Amazon account) with my MP3 credit?

I'm in NY suburb -- almost all of my 2-day Prime orders arrive next day.

The $1 credit is great for all the Chanukah gifts I order from the kids on the Lightning Deals -- I don't need them for several weeks, and I think they'll keep offering the $1 MP3 credits.
