YMMV: Amazon Mobile App has Giveaways, May Give Coupons on Featured Items, But Kinda Buggy

The official Amazon app from Google Play (Android) has a new mobile giveaway promotion running between November 23 to December 6 in 2016. An Amazon notification informed me of this, and when I tapped on that, it took me to the promotion within the app that said this:

amazon_mobile_app_headphone_giveaway

A handful of products were offered, the first on the list was the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless ANC. The giveaway in itself is not of deal interest, but when you enter the giveaway (you have to tap the moving Amazon box, a nano game of sorts), you are told whether you won or not. If not, (this is the deal part), it gives you a limited time promo code to get a discount on the featured product. You can see that in the screenshot below:

amazon_mobile_app_headphone_giveaway_coupon

However, the whole thing was rather buggy, every other touch resulted in an error, and as you can see in the screenshot above, it didn’t spit out a promo code as it promised. I did this early in the day (10:40AM), on day #1 of the promotion, so maybe they are working out the kinks. I was running the latest version of the Amazon app.

So, YMMV…

[DEAD] Bose Soundsport In-Ears for $40 with coupon

As of 11/26/16 re-check, this sold-out… Best Buy is rolling out some of their Black Friday ads ahead of time, one of them is the Bose Soundsport In-Ears for $40 with free shipping when you enter coupon code BOSEAUDIODEAL over there. The coupon may only work for members of their rewards program (in case you try it and it doesn’t work).

PS: these are somewhere between an earbud and an in-ear, since they only have a speaker-ish protrusion in the ear plane.

Mystery Bag headphone/earphone for $85 with coupon

If you like the thrill and danger and potential excitement or disappointment of a mystery bag headphone purchase, Sonix Elextronix is offering a list-priced $150 headphone as a mystery bag offer for $85 with free shipping when you enter coupon code MB111 over there.

DETECTIVE WORK

These are the clues they offer:

mystery_bag_sonix

Searching their website for “brass & carbon fiber headphones” produces only two search results. The mystery listing and one other model with a $150 list price, the *** SPOILER ALERT *** if you don’t want me to ruin the surprise, NuForce NE800M in-ears.

I have no clue what the “Hide & Seek” means, whether it’s a clue for this or a regular website feature. When you click on it, it shows a variety of in-ears, starting with a different ($200 list price) NuForce earphone.

NOTE that this is based only on my detective work, and if I was a good detective I would have had my own procedural on network TV, so do not buy it based on what I say 🙂

15% off Coupon at Monoprice.com (but M560 Planars not eligible)

If you want to get a handful of cables and other accessories, or more capital-type purchases (they have all kinds of things now, not just cables), coupon code EARLYBF (BF = Black Friday, not Boy Friend) gets you 15% off at Monoprice.com until Sunday night (November 20).

Unfortunately their brand new M560 Planar-Magnetic Headphones are not eligible for the coupon even though they are in-stock and ready to ship. I just tried it to be certain, here’s a screenshot proof of that not working:

The coupon works on most everything else, including the Monoprice 11567 Desktop Headphone amp ($98.56 – 15% off = $83.78~).

If you are interested in the open-back over-ear Sennheiser HD650, coupon code 1LENSSAVIN (no G at the end) drops the price down to $300 at Adorama.com (authorized dealer)… If you don’t object to doing a mail-in rebate, there’s also a $15 mail-in rebate offer on it that drops it to $285 after MIR.

PS: the rebate offer ends 8/22/16, the coupon works until it stops working.

PS2: if you want to test whether the coupon is working, you can go to the Checkout page and skip everything to the Payment section.

Sennheiser HD600 for $250 after coupon (or $235 after MIR)

It’s not just the HD 650, coupon code 1LENSSAVIN (no G at the end) gets you the new condition open-back over-ear Sennheiser HD600 headphones for $250 from authorized dealer Adorama.com…

Optionally you can submit a $15 mail-in rebate and drop it to $235 after MIR.

Alternately, if you are a regular Amazon shopper, you can get the same effective price by buying the HD600 with $150 Amazon Gift Card bundled together for $400. On very rare occasions, the gift card may arrive before the headphones ship, and you may be able to apply it towards this purchase (unless they changed how the shopping cart deals with gift card bundles).

Monoprice High Roller Coupon: 25% off orders between $300 and $1000

The dream of the 90s is alive at Monoprice! Good until either 7/21/16 or 7/24/16 (I’ve seen conflicting ifo), coupon code PROJECT gets 25% off orders between $300 – $1000. Think of the possibilities, getting every headphone and cable sold by Monoprice for one giant never-ending review 🙂 Joking aside, this is a great opportunity if you had been planning a big multi-dimensional Monoprice purchase, a combination of cables and accessories and some bigger items.

For example, if you bought their Headphone Desktop Amp (Product ID 11567), the coupon would drop it to $74, while their Stereo Hybrid Tube Amp with Bluetooth (Product ID 13194) would drop to $105. There’s also the good old Monoprice 8323 headphone going that would drop to $12 with the coupon (it goes for $16 with free shipping without the coupon).

NOTE: some items are not eligible. There are two ways to find out:

  1. add your items of interest to the shopping cart and enter the coupon to see if they get discounted
  2. enter the coupon in the shopping cart, and click on the Details link of the coupon. It will show all the excluded PIDs

The coupon is limit two uses per customer during this period, so if you have a $1000+ purchase in mind, you can split it in two and use the coupon twice, factoring in the $300 minimum purchase amount.
