What happened to all the deals for free amazon mp3 credits?

Feb 10, 2013 5:59 PM

During the first half of 2012, it seemed like every month there was a posting in community deals for 2 or 3 dollars in free credit for amazon mp3s, but in recent months no such postings. Did they disappear because of the "free" tag? I want my mp3!

A search shows there has not been very many posted.

If someone finds a more recent one available, hopefully they will post it as a deal.

Last thing I saw for Amazon MP3 was for this deal I posted:

http://deals.woot.com/deals/details/fb25231e-2f6f-4356-9c10-9deb23064648/amazon-subscribe-to-the-mp3-delivers-newsletter-and-get-20-off-your-next-album

You can't get the discount anymore (after January 31st), but you can use the discount through February 28th.

It's a shame that with the "free" filtering, even if these do pop up and are shared here, most of us won't see them unless we really go look for it.

@djp519: do not question the woot deal gestapo.

In lieu of those mp3 credits, I've started using the iOS app called "App Trailers." I watch ads for apps, earn points, which can then be redeemed for gift cards to various places, including Amazon. I earn about $2/week. It's a gravy train, especially considering I don't actually watch the ads.

Woot's tag crushing did its job. People no longer bother posting free deals, whats the point if no one sees them? It also drove away many members that were unhappy with the changes. If the people that posted the deals are no longer active it becomes less and less likely you will see promotions like those posted.

@rayray8822: I'm absolutely going to try that. Small numbers like that can add up quick. Thanks for the heads up!

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
