Wondering what the chances are that amazon is going to honor the 987000 orders and take a loss of 9.8 million dollars

100% chance. I'll bet on it.

+1, Amazon gets to promote its main business (Amazon.com) while also promoting LS (of which it owns ~17.5%).

"But seriously, how many people are going to find something with a price tag of exactly $20?"
A case of diapers with one magazine coupon $19.24. Close enough

Drop in the bucket for their marketing budget.

Even if it's $25, they're still not making $10 profit on every $25 order.

Not for sure, they might allow it.

Either way, people who would spend the money anyway (I spend hundreds on Amazon buying things I'd pay more for elsewhere), will end up saving $10 for each of these $20 codes.

Why can't you use the gift card on 2 purchases? One for $19 and one for $1?

Perfect. I ordered 7 or 8 with different email addresses and different CCs

Edit:

Grrr, so far only 2 arrived. The rest were ordered to a Gmail account using a combination of plus-aliasing and periods.
