Amazon UK announced today that, to celebrate being voted the number one organisation in the UK for Customer Service (according to a survey by The Institute of Customer Service, which is apparently a real organisation), the company is letting each and every customer get £10 off a purchase of £50 or more for one day only.

Used my code to cancel and re-order NieR Automata and Zelda:BotW for £10 off - thought this might be a useful PSA for others.

Code is BIGTHANKS

Prime users £2 off discount still applies on top of it too, bringing my total discount to £14.

EDIT: Offer terms state digital downloads aren't included, giftcards/PSN credit falls into that.

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

Grabbed this earlier, re-rolled my Yakuza 0 and Dragon Quest 8 preorders and in a roundabout way it brought DQ8 to £15.50

Code is BIGTHANKS

 

[Murman]

Thanks for the heads up OP, did you get emailed a code?

Edit: Nvm just saw it on the Amazon front page lol

 

[Betty]

Bought 3 volumes of Prison School and a Monster Girl Encyclopedia and I don't regret a thing.

 

[Kyonashi]

Thanks for the heads up OP, did you get emailed a code?

One code for everyone, BIGTHANKS.
Added to OP.

 

[Equanimity]

Yeah it's a great promotional offer. I re-ordered Horizon Zero Dawn + Yooka Laylee for £61 and Zelda: BotW + ruler for £38.50.

 

[LewieP]

You can use this to bump up the price of an item that is £49.99 (such as Zelda Switch) with this:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006DHVXB4/

 

[mossypne]

Sweet ordered Mass Effect and Horizon

 

[retrobeans]

Awesome, grabbed Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Yooka Laylee!

 

[Ashler]

nice, going directly into my Switch pre-orders.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Ey,still gotta pay an extra £5 for release date shipping with amazon uk ):

You are doing great work. Used this to cancel my Persona 5 Pre-order from £49.99 down to a much more palatable 40

 

[The_Lump]

Cancelled and re-ordered BotW and 1-2 Switch to get the discount, nice

 

[Willy Wanka]

Dragon Quest VIII and Rhythm Heaven 3DS for ~£39.50. Don't mind if I do.

 

[Kyonashi]

Hoping they'll bump down Zelda an extra £5 in Feb to really sweeten the deal.

 

[KennyLinder]

You can't add it to your Switch pre-order can you?

 

[Tratorn]

Never imported Nintendo Software. Are their games mostly multi language or english only?

 

[RetroDLC]

I was able to shave off a tenner for my Retro Freak pre-order with this. Great deal.

 

[Possumowner]

Straight on Switch pre orders,cheers op.

 

[Semajer]

Saw this earlier. Was able to justify a MK8DX buy.

 

[El-Suave]

Thanks! I put a PS VR case I wanted anyway on top of my Yakuza preorder to qualify.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Thanks for the tip, but there's nothing I really want right now that I don't already have pre-ordered.

 

[BGBW]

I thought they usually get you it day one even with free shipping if its a preorder.

At least that's how it is for me.

*praise be to LewieP*

I now have BoTW for £20...(with my £17 amazon giftcard).

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Damn why is the Switch Pro Controller unavailable :'(

 

[mrback]

Nice one! Re-ordered zelda for £38.10! Sweet

 

[DesuNe]

Fuck. Cancelled my Yakuza 0 to bundle with another game. No longer in stock. Oh great...

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

I thought they usually get you it day one even with free shipping if its a preorder.

At least that's how it is for me.

Apparently not for switch stuff

 

[EGM1966]

Cheers - that nicely covered Gravity Rush 2 and finally getting around to getting The Thing (original) on Blu Ray.

 

[Ashler]

Thanks for the tip, but there's nothing I really want right now that I don't already have pre-ordered.

Pre-order it again using the code and then cancel your old pre-order.

Fuck. Cancelled my Yakuza 0 to bundle with another game. No longer in stock. Oh great...

That sucks, you went about it in the wrong order!

 

[Kuraudo]

Anyone know what happens if the price of a preorder drops before release and brings the order down below £50?

 

[MarkMclovin]

Used it to get 2 of the JoyCon addon strap things for free.

 

[IvorB]

Thanks, OP. Does anyone know if it needs to be 50 quid on one item or will a basket value of 50 be fine?

Edit: Never mind. Looked it up.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Nice one! Re-ordered zelda for £38.10! Sweet

Same here

feels good

 

[*Splinter]

Bought £50 PSN credit, BIGTHANKS code was accepted but total didn't update. Clicked through to the next screen and... nope, think I just paid £50 for £50

Also this thread should be moved to OT, I'm sure lots of folks could use this.


Edit:

Offer terms state digital downloads aren't included, guessing PSN credit falls into that.

Whoops

 

[DesuNe]

Pre-order it again using the code and then cancel your old pre-order.



That sucks, you went about it in the wrong order!

Yep. Annoying thing is I could place the order. Both in my basket. Then all of a sudden I get an error and Yakuza is no longer in my basket!! Ugh, emailing support. Hope I get some joy.

Edit: Nevermind. Tried again it was for sale again. Thank God. Thanks OP.

 

[Equanimity]

You should still get your £10 discount.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

If you have prime, you can get Zelda and MK8 switch for £80.98, and they charge separately upon ship too. £42.50 for Zelda and £38.50 for MM8. Fantastic prices!

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Why doesn't Amazon UK have a Fire Emblem Echoes Shadows of Valentia listing?

It's one of those matters where I'm hardly making any savings once I get myself up to £50 (using Zelda Wii U and something else).

 

[Nbz]

You should still get your £10 discount.

Does that mean we get even more money off? Say it drops by £5, would my £38 pre-order go down to £33?

[Munter]

Used it for Mario Kart and the Switch accessory pack - just over £50 total

That's what I get for not reading the small print then. Think it's a bit scummy the code was "accepted" when it wasn't valid, but oh well. I didn't actually lose anything

Spoiler

until I impulse buy more rocket league keys

 

[eoa-swam]

Edit: Never mind. Looked it up.

Basket value works.

 

[Kuraudo]

Cool, thanks. I'll try it with Persona 5, which I can't see remaining at £49.99.

 

[Ozzie001]

I have a quick question: Lets say I pre-order Mario Kart and BoTW and apply the £10 voucher, is it possible to cancel Mario Kart and keep the £10 offer for Zelda after I pre-ordered or will it become invalid as the total is less than £50?

 

[teeny]

Couldn't apply it to the Switch order itself. Might repreorder Zelda and add MK to the mix.

 

[boredandlazy]

They've removed the ability to preorder Yakuza 0... Hopefully that's because of unexpected demand as the game needs the sales.

Edit: And now the option is back again...

 

[Tizoc]

I COULD use this to get some 3DS games...
Maybe Mario Kart 7+DQ8
Or some books
only I could get them cheaper elsewhere

 

[Murman]

Fuck. Cancelled my Yakuza 0 to bundle with another game. No longer in stock. Oh great...

Might be worth checking throughout the day. If people (like me) cancelled their yakuza pre-order to reorder, that stock my take a while to free up so to speak.

It might not work like that but worth checking out throughout the day.

Edit: Looks like Yakuza 0 is available again!
