If you are planning a premium audio purchase at Amazon, there’s a hot new offer, you get an Amazon Gift Card based on the purchase amount. If you make a $1000+ purchase, you get a $100 Amazon Gift Card. A $2000+ purchase gets you a $200 Amazon Gift Card, and a $3000+ purchase gets you a $300 Amazon Gift Card. You have to manually add the gift card to your shopping cart along with the eligible audio gear.
NOTE: testing the promotion reveals that the Gift Cards are STACKABLE if you are at the $2000+ and $3000+ tiers. See the Examples are the bottom of this post. I do not know if this is a glitch in the system or this is how it was intended to be. It works consistency at the $2000+ and $3000+ levels which may suggest it’s by design?
The promotion ONLY WORKS for items Sold and Shipped by Amazon actual, not marketplace sellers. A total of 266 items are eligible for this promotion. I constructed a list of eligible headphones below.
Thankfully you can test the promotion by adding the Gift Card and your items of interest to the shopping cart and verifying the discount BEFORE making a purchase. See examples at the bottom of this post.

TESTING THE PROMOTION
You can test this promotion before you make a purchase. Simply add the eligible audio gear to your shopping cart along with the gift card amount that matches your audio gear total ($100 for $1000+ or $200 for $2000+ or $300 for $3000+).
When everything is eligible, you will see this at Checkout, the last step BEFORE you place an order. In the example below, I put the Sennheiser HD800 ($1400 by Amazon actual) and the $100 Gift Card. The HD800 is offered for less by unauthorized marketplace sellers. They are NOT eligible for the $100 Gift Card (I tried it ~ you can easily try it too by adding/removing things from your shopping cart). Screenshot of the Checkout page below:
In the example below, I added two Sennheiser HD800S headphones (to quickly get over $3000, any combination of eligible products works) along with the $300 Gift Card. Screenshot of the Checkout page below:
ARE THE OFFERS STACKABLE OR IS THERE A GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM?
While testing the offers for the screenshots above by adding/removing things from the Shopping Cart, I accidentally noticed that the three gift cards are STACKABLE. So in this case below, I added two Sennheiser HD800S headphones (2 x $1700 = $3400) along with the $100 Gift Card and the $200 Gift Card and the $300 Gift Card. The total is $4000 and then you see all THREE Gift Card discounts, bringing the total down to $3400, which is the price of TWO HD800 S headphones. So you get $600 in Gift Cards for FREE! Here’s a screenshot of the Checkout page:
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF STACKABLE OFFER
After seeing the example above, I did the next logical thing in scientific testing theory 🙂 I added items with a $2000+ price to see what happens. For this example, I added one Sennheiser HD800S headphone ($1700) and one Sennheiser HD700 ($500), along with the $100 Gift Card and the $200 Gift Card. The total is $2500, and then you get both the $100 and $200 discounts, making it a $2200 order total, the face value of the two headphones, with $300 in gift cards for FREE! Here’s a screenshot of the Checkout page:
