What Have You Received In Amazon Compensation?
« on: April 01, 2021, 11:31:36 AM »
Booked an Amazon Explore session for Chol Hamoed with 40% off.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08TT17TKC/?tag=cl03f-20&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Seller cancelled today with no reason listed and the time slot is back up for sale. I can't find any way to contact the seller.

Called Amazon and first agent said so sorry, too bad, but code is expired and nothing we can do. Asked for a manager and she said that she just spoke to the manager and there's nothing they can do.

Asked to patch me through anyway. The manager added a $50 courtesy credit to my account and emailed the seller to ask what happened and if they're willing to still honor the 40% off code ;D

Did you explicitly asked for compensation?

No, I asked to be rebooked at the original rate I paid, which both agents said was impossible.

Many times $5 GC loaded to my account for the inconvenience.

Once a pair of free boots.

Ordered a table which I then canceled over the phone agent told me it will be canceled within the next 24 hrs.
(It wasn't possible to cancel online for some odd reason)

It shipped and delivered I asked the driver to refuse delivery he just told me I should tell amazon that he isn't taking it back.
Called in amazon they transferred me to logistics who a supervisor refunded the entire amount and told me I can either keep or give away the item.

Getting a $150 GC for a ¢11 order not received ;)
Let me just say YMMV!
Not bad for $75 an hour 🤣
I believe my first time getting this amount, and definitely as a gift card

How do you all ppl get those? Do you explicitly ask " can you give me some compensation for the inconvenience?

Amazon said they can't replace honor the 40% off, but they added $18.20 to my gift card balance to make up for it.
At +$68.20 on this explore stuff so far. Not bad :D

The rear time when they ask you how much compensation you want, you give a number, then proceed to add an extra $10 for good measure ;D

On prime day I ordered around 1k of phones for resale and they cancelled all my orders for fear of fraud on my account (or so they claimed).

 I called them up and confirmed it was me and they told me I could reorder it.

 I reordered it and it was canceled again. After a few HUCAs I got a $100 site credit.

Are you officially allowed to order on Amazon to resale?
