I did the buy 2 save $40 dollars deal. Two came to $30 each, one Black one White, still seems like a steal if they honor it.

I think, and maybe I'm misinterpreting what happened on your end, that you just bought a black one at $99.99, got $40 off, and the white one was free.

yeah, i've noticed internet price glitch culture change a bit.

it used to be only order a few small things, and if some guy shows up and orders a million things, shame him for overabusing the glitch.

now no one gives a shit, and people will order 50 of something and everyone hopes he gets everything.

The people on here and Twitter who are ordering 30 of them are super dumb. If you ordered one you might get it, or you might get some Amazon credit when they cancel it.

There's no way on Earth Amazon gives you shit for trying to take $3k worth or product for free .
yup, ordered just one because of that

Don't agree with the go big or go home mentality. If everyone orders 1 or maybe 2, it stays lower key. takes longer for Amazon to catch on. If everyones scamming double digits, it's caught sooner.

Im not saying this would have lasted 20 minutes or something, but to think the only way to get in on it is to buy 10 or more? Come on...

Im glad I got my order in before this post was made. Makes me feel like I am going to be lucky in actually getting it.

When traffic starts to surge on one product from many people, I'm sure Amazon is going to look into it. If everyone orders 10 or 1, I really don't think it'll make a difference.

I have a theory that Amazon is like Samuel L. Jackson in Kingsman: The Secret Service and all these Alexa products are going to activate and kill us all.

I did an order for two right away, and a second order of two after they were back ordered

If you actually wanted an echo, this might be good way to get a $40 discount on one, if you buy 1 black and 1 white

Seems unlikely that this will work, but then again, Amazon did ship me the free Xbox One I ordered.

Lol seriously. People acting like they'll somehow fly under the radar for being "safe". Once you find out about it's a FFA.

Put in an order. Know it will get canceled, but maybe they'll toss in a free digital credit for the trouble.


So what is the Echo Spot? A Dot with a screen?

The cops told me that everyone who ordered more than one will be summarily executed
The people that ordered one now work for Amazon

I got one it says it'll be here on the 4th.
I don't even want it, I just wanna keep it around until someone's birthday or something shows up and then I have a random gift I can give.

If mine does ship it would work nicely as a night stand alarm clock. I'm thinking of pay the one day shipping fee of 5.99 if that speeds it up.

I got one free echo dot last time and I put in an order for one spot. Would be a nice upgrade from my dot on my nightstand. If I don't get it then no big deal.

seems they fixed the price on the site now. Expect it'll get cancelled, but maybe I'll get some free credit out of it.

Yeah, I actually a Google Home mini that I use for setting alarms and getting weather updates in the morning. They were giving them away for practically free last December with all those crazy sales.

I wonder what the purpose of "errors" like this are. I can't believe it's pure accident.

Marketing plot to get what is probably a small number of them out (in relation to how many they've sold) to people in hopes word of mouth will sell more?

I've learned long time ago that with these types of things you put in one day shipping and hope they pack it up and send before they start flagging for cancellations. I ordered 3. Good luck everyone!
