Yeah; I enjoyed the first enough to pick up the second already in a previous deal, but very folksy. I can imagine the style putting some people off, but well worth 99p.

Stopharage · December 22, 2022

I'm annoyed that I failed to pick the first one up when it was 99p, as I have done with all of the sequels. Ho hum.

smac · December 22, 2022

I bought the first on dead tree pulp, before I got m'Kindle.

Eying up a lot of shelf space I could clear...

Making Sense of the Troubles: A History of the Northern Ireland Conflict is 99p today.

It's that price all month; a worthy companion piece to Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe

Did anyone get their voucher for spending 15 pounds yet?

Flub · December 30, 2022

Where can you see this? Was it an email? Or somewhere on amazon?

I got an email from Amazon saying I had spent £15 and had been awarded the credit.

Out of interest, what did you buy to spend £15? A few books or a load of cheaper ones?

I’m on about £9 so far, with most being daily deals for 99p.

I also got Jarvis’s book. And the Fifth Risk, as I like Lewis’ writing. Also got Mickey 7.

From the 12 days of Kindle I picked up:

Dead in the Water.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09LXD9LSP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_d_asin_title_o05?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Rogues, by Patrick Keefe.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09QKZ5RXX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_d_asin_title_o07?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and a book about John Stonehouse

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09G3LDV6L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_d_asin_title_o08?ie=UTF8&psc=1

A Sherlock Holmes book, from a series I’ve enjoyed

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09LSQ68XY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_d_asin_title_o01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And one about the Volkswagen scandal.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N5VDD2I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_d_asin_title_o06?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I think I only picked up the final one to get me over the £15 hump.

Rogues, by Patrick Keefe.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09QKZ5RXX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_d_asin_title_o07?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Think I’ll pick up Dead in the Water, looks really interesting and there’s some pretty well written reviews for it in Amazon.

Already picked up Rogues on Kindle and was an Audible deal of the day this week so got it on there too. Hope it’s as good as his longer form writing.

I've just gone over the £15 spend and Amazon sent me the voucher at the same time as the receipt for the purchase that took me over. According to the email the voucher expires at the end of January.

I’m on about £9 so far, with most being daily deals for 99p.

I bought:

The Bridge to Lucy Dunn - 2.73

Logic Beach part 1 - 3

Geometry for Ocelots - 3.18

The Fifth Science - 2.88

The Prince of Milk - 3.77

The Galaxy and the Ground Within - 0.99

Shuggie Bain - 0.99

Existential Physics - 1.59

Almost 20 pounds in total. I'm pretty sure I activated the deal, but no email so far.

You don't need to wait for the mail, it's automatically applied. Go to Kindle book on the store. If you have credits on your account, you'll see this on the price:

If you don't, then you should contact Amazon to plead your case.

Stopharage · January 1

I received the email one minute after I made my final qualifying purchase.

Fry Crayola · January 1

Pretty much instantaneously in my case. The email is purely informational, the credit is applied automatically. If you haven't got the credit, it's time to chase.

Where can I find this? I can get 25% cashback on Kindle books too until the end of the month with Lloyds Everyday Offers.

EDIT: Never mind. A quick DDG suggests I’ve missed it.

You had to spend £15 by the end of a December to get £5 credit. It comes up 3/4 times a year so there’ll be another offer along soon.

Sane · January 2

Well amazon refused to give me the credit. They first made me give them all the order numbers, then said the promotion was only valid for single purchases over 15 pounds, then said hotukdeals is a fraudulent website and they would only accept an email from amazon as proof this promotion existed :hmm: (I didn't get an email saying the offer was activated, did anyone else?).

Maybe send this to them? I didn’t get an email confirming the deal once I clicked on it but this was on the email I received when they sent me the £5.
