Title: The Amazon "Share the Love" Thread
Post by: Matt on January 29, 2004, 03:32 AM
So, do you guys know about the Share the Love deal at Amazon?  If not, here's a brief synopsis:

Quote
Each time you place an order for books, music, DVDs, or videos with us, we'll offer you the chance to e-mail your friends and give them an additional 10% off the items you bought. (You select which items, of course.) If any of those people purchases one of those items within a week, you'll receive a credit to use the next time you shop with us! Your credit will equal the dollar amount of your friend's 10% discount. Let's say you bought a CD for $15 and decided to Share the Love with a friend on that purchase. Your friend would be able to buy the same CD for $13.50. You would receive a credit for $1.50 (the difference) to use any time in the next 30 days. You are eligible to receive one credit per item shared.

You can visit Amazon for more details.

Anyway, I'm getting ready to order some DVDs from Amazon, and figured I'd see if anyone else would be interested in sharing the virtual love on them.  It's a fairly good deal they've got going, which benefits both parties.

So here's what I'm going to order, and if you're interested in doing the STL thing on the same titles, just post a reply in this thread with your e-mail address and what title you're wanting the STL discount on, and I'll hook you up when I order them in a day or two.

And, like mentioned above, you'll get 10% off those prices with the STL discount applied.

And, by all means, if any of you guys have any other titles you are buying that you want to STL on, feel free to list them here.

(Aside to jjks:  "Share the Love" is just a figure of speech--not literal.  Thanks.)

Would the STL items get shipped to you, and you'd have to then send them to us, or would all the items get shipped to the correct respective recipients?  If the latter, is it a shipping free kinda thing, or is there a shipping charge to tack on as well?

No--I think basically, the STL recipient gets an e-mail that says something to the effect of "so-and-so person has Shared the Love with you on so-and-so product", and then the recipient would go to Amazon and would check the STL section of their account, and then that product would be there to order, just like normal.  And if that's done within a week of the original STL deal, then the recipient gets the 10% off the item, and the STL giver automatically gets a credit on thier account in the amount of the discount (like the example above--if I bought a $15 DVD, and STL with you on it, you'd be able to buy it for $13.50, and then I'd get a credit for $1.50 on my account after that).

The way I tell it, it probably sounds really confusing, but I first shared the love with Scott (wink, wink) a couple of weeks ago, and it worked great.

It's really a pretty cool deal, which does benefit everybody--the getter saves the 10%, and the giver gets the credit.

And as for the shipping--it's just like a regular order, it comes directly to you.  And I'm pretty sure Amazon is still doing their free shipping on orders over $25 thing--so as long as your total is over $25, you'd get free shipping.  

Like I mentioned, you can check Amazon for more details on it if you want.  I just quoted a small portion of their STL details page, but there's a bunch more there about it.

Po'V and I shared some love a few weeks back and it was all I hoped and dreamed it would be and more

He bought Curb Your Enthusiasm, and so did I, I got 10% my order and he got a credit for future orders, win-win baby!

I might be interested in Lost In Translation Po'V

Might join you on the Rainman Special Edition there.  Lemme take a looksee around Amazon to see if there's anything else worth ordering to get the free shipping...  I'll get back to you in a day or so!

Well, whenever you guys "decide", either shoot me a PM or post here in this thread with your e-mail addresses that you use for your Amazon account, and then I can order the junk and get you the hook up.

Hoping to order this stuff by Saturday or so, so I can maybe get it by next weekend (hopefully).

I love you both.

Keep your love to yourself there, plushy-Boy.  :)

Seriously though, I got this stupid ad the other day when I was buying a Weird Al CD on amazon for my nephew (who is surprisingly enjoying the musical stylings of someone considered old school by people my age).
I sat there and thought to myself "Who could I possibly interest in this discount?"

In the future, I know which thread to visit.

This, I think, could almost be construed as an insult.

 :-\

Anyway, yeah, there's a couple of other things I need to order from Amazon (an Aimee Mann CD and a Sonic Youth CD), but I haven't listed them here yet, because I don't really think that anyone here would be interested in those particular items.

I will admit, though, that I stole got this idea from the DVD Talk forums, where they have an entire section set up for Share the Love requests.  

Like, someone would start a thread called "Want to Share the Love on Schindler's List DVD", and then people will post their e-mail addresses, in the hopes that someone buying the Schindler's List DVD will add their e-mail addresses to their STL thing when they order.

Here's their section, if anyone wants to check it out and get an idea of what I'm trying to do here:

DVD Talk Forum - Share the Love (http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=36)

Or, if you guys would rather I go blow a goat, that's fine, too.

Not a lot else to do here in the great state of Oklahoma.

But I'm only doing this because I had a weird dream with you in it last night Virex.  We were playing 2-man Beach Volleyball together, but unfortunately I still never really saw what you looked like.  BTW, you were a pretty crappy player and we lost.  Thanks.   >:(

'Kay.  Sent love to you both on the LIT and Rain Man DVDs (and actually, American Splendor too, I think).  Whatever.

Haven't received any STL credit back yet, for either of you guys or the other guy I sent Love to.

Just wondering if I f*cked it up, or what--have no idea what the deal is (as usual).

Alright, well, yeah, I think it takes a few days to go through after the Share-ee orders the stuff, so I'll check back in a couple of days.

Um, gonna be slow for the next month or so, at least--the only things I have on-deck are Chappelle's Show: Season 1 and Schindler's List, and of course, I'll wait and see what the B & M prices are going to be for them, and if the Amazon prices are still the lowest after the B & M prices come out, then I'll order the stuff from Amazon, so, just, nyuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. . .

I'm a dumbass.  I looked yesterday for my account under that addy, and there wasn't one for some odd reason.  Apparently I've done all of my prior Amazon shopping under MattandPatty@aol.com, rather than the one I listed there.  Does that screw everything up?  I suppose so.  No love for me.  No love for you.   :-\

You can't tell them that you goofed the e-mail address can you?  Or, I wonder if I could sign up for a new account with the JediMC e-mail, or possibly just switch my e-mail address in my Amazon profile.  Maybe I'll give that a whirl and see what happens.  Stay tuned...

I want to send my love to you Virex, I really do.  Please don't think my feelings have changed for you.  Unfortunately, no more dreams with us since we played around on the beach...   :'(
Title: Re: The Amazon "Share the Love" Thread

OK, I changed my profile to the JediMC e-mail address, and I'm not seeing any STL credit anywhere, including on my STL profile page...   ???  Should I be seeing it somewhere, or does it just suddenly show up when I'm checking out?  Please help me Billy!

  • Rain Man: Special Edition ($13.99 before STL)
And, like mentioned above, you'll get 10% off those prices with the STL discount applied.

Did they goof the price, or just raise it?  Now it's a buck more, at $14.99.   ::)

No, no need for that, man.  No big deal.

Post by: Matt on February 9, 2004, 09:03 PM
Yeah, your Love came through just fine, actually.  Matt's didn't (obviously), and the guy from DVD Talk (that I don't know) that I shared Love with on American Splendor apparently received the Love just fine, as he posted a "thank-you" reply for it, but I have yet to get the Love back for that.  Who knows.

So, for now, the only STL credits that I've ever received back have both been from you, for Curb and Translation.

That says something.

Anyone up for Love for the High School Reunion Collection?  This is the three-pack with Sixteen Candles, Weird Science, and The Breakfast Club.

Link to Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000A98ZQ/qid=1076384526/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-5537912-8989400?v=glance&s=dvd)

They've got it for $29.99--which would be around $27 after the STL 10% discount.

I need to order it by Thursday at the very latest, so lemme know with an e-mail here if you're interested. . .

I see what's happening here...  You two are both fighting over my love.   >:(

That's because I had love from both of you waiting in my inbox when I got home tonight - for the same product no less.   ::)  Furthermore, it was on a product that I already bought at Costco about 3 months ago!

BUT, I haven't opened it yet, and I believe I may still have the receipt floating around here somewhere, so I'll see if I can return it, and pimp some love back to one of you whores.  If that's the case, Scott - sorry bud, but the "mysteriousness" of the man they call Virex is just too intriguing to pass up, so I'll probably have to politely decline your offer and be Fatty's beeotch instead.  Not to mention I already screwed up his first attempt to hump my leg, so I need to get this one right if I'm able to swing it.

I'll keep you guys posted, and thanks again for making a fella like me feel so special...  Valentine's Day comes early for me this year, I guess.  Just please, no more baseball "innuendos" Scott.  I'm nobody's catcher!  Thanks.   :-*

The sad thing about the whole deal, is that I just got the Love back from the dude I don't even know from the DVD Talk board on the American Splendor thing.

This, and the three bucks credit from OCB for the Brat Pack. . .er. . .Pack.

But what I'll be thinking of tomorrow won't be the Love I shared with those guys, but with the unrequited Love I shared with Matt Colman, but didn't get in return.

You should be glad, sir, that Berry stuck this word in the censored list:

No interest in Chappelle's Show, apparently, but Mattttttt and Scottttttt--I think I might have just sent you guys Love on it (and the GN'R videos DVD) anyway, because you're my Amazon Butt Buddies or whatever.

On the GN'R note--Scott, want to STL on the Illusion I & II DVDs?  Or do you already have them?

They're like $13.48 each or something now, which I guess after the STL would bring them to $12.14 each, or $24.28 for both, which would put it just under the $25 Free Shipping thing, but if you ordered something else, you'd be good.

Let me know (and anyone else that may be interested, too) (which is pretty much going to limit it to Matt, since we're the only people participating in this pathetic thread. . .)

Love Shared, again.

(And to make this a more substantial post, I'll type up the bio from the back of the new Artoo card:

During a daring mission to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt, R2-D2 and C-3PO were sent into the Hutt's palace on Tatooine, where they became the grisly crime lord's property.  Artoo served as a waiter, distributing drinks aboard Jabba's sail barge.  Little did any of the criminal dregs suspect that the droid carried in him Luke Skywalker's lightsaber, which he launched to the unarmed Jedi, who went on to rescue himself and his friends.)

Little weenie?  Yeah, right...   ::)

Sorry 'bout not lovingly humping someone's leg on the Brat Pack set, but I could never dig up my old Costco receipt that I was hoping I still had lying around somewhere, so I'm stuck with my original set.  Sorry!   :-*

Not a big Chappelle fan either, even though I caught him once down at a Comedy Club on the Sunset Strip several years ago.  Dig up an old Eddie Murphy routine on DVD (self titled or Comedian), and we'll talk.

Hell no, dude, haven't bought 'em yet--was waiting on a response from you.

Besides, I've got like, eleven DVDs on the way right now--need to let my credit card cool off a bit before I order some more.  

But yeah, just let me know when you're ready to pull the trigger on Family Guy. . .

Scratch that--and make it fourteen, and then scratch that, and make it twelve.

I was counting the Ultimate Vacation Collection as one title, when actually, it's four.  So, fourteen.

But then, I got home, and my Pirates and Fargo discs were waiting on me, so. . .  

Twelve.

Alright, we're all bumping old threads up, so what the hell. . .

After a relatively slow March, April's gonna bring a relative shower of potential Amazon-worthy material, most notably Freaks & Geeks, Matrix: Revolutions, and Kill Bill: Volume 1, among others.

On top of that, I've got some Love, that if not used by the sixth, will go away forever.

So, anyone up for anything?  I'm "needing" to do something on both Family Guy sets here pretty soon. . .

My want list is awfully small right now, but here goes:

Nah.  Not much of a horror fan.

I think Best Buy's the place to buy the new TCM DVD(s), anyway:

Single-disc is $15.99.

Buy the single-disc and the original TCM, 2 for $25.

2-Disc Platinum Series is $29.99, but you get the original disc for free.

By the way, DVD Talk has set up a really nice, easy, convenient website exclusively for Sharing the Love.

So, for those of you that (for whatever reason) don't want to deal with me, but are still interested in the system, check it out here:

DVD Talk's Share The Love Trading System (http://www.dvdtalk.com/stl/php/index.php)

Seems like it could be really cool.

Anything else you want to add?

Tenement slum

You think that I don't feel love
But what I feel for you is real love
In other's eyes I see reflected
A hurt, scorned, rejected

Love child, never meant to be
Love child, born in poverty
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, take a look at me

I started my life in an old, cold run down tenement slum
My father left, he never even married mom
I shared the guilt my mama knew
So afraid that others knew I had no name

This love we're contemplating
Isn't worth the pain of waiting
We'll only end up hating
The child we maybe creating

Love child, never meant to be
Love child, (scorned by) society
Love child, always second best
Love child, different from the rest

Mm, baby (hold on, hold on, just a little bit)
Mm, baby (hold on, hold on, just a little bit)
I started school, in a worn, torn dress that somebody threw out
I knew the way it felt, to always live in doubt
To be without the simple things
Sop afraid my friends would see the guilt in me

Don't think that I don't need you
Don't think I don't wanna please you
No child of mine 'll be bearing
The name of shame I've been wearing

Love child, love child, never quite as good
Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood

But I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you

I've got a radio that's broke
Traded it for some dope
Sam and Colleen are just a joke
I've got a life that's kinda broke
I've got a dog that doesn't bark
He's dying of a broken heart
My best friend, he ain't too smart
My life's falling apart

I'm moving on,
I love her
I'm sailing on,
I'm sinking
I've got two dollars
and some guy wants me to feed him.
I'm moving on,
I love her
I'm sailing on,
I'm sinking
I've got two dollars
Where's Bob Dylan when you need him?

Spent my last dollar on a beer
I lost my job sometime last year
I lost my wife,
I called her dear
That's how I got from there to here
Guess the TV's on the blink
There's blood inside the bathroom sink
I'm halfway out the door
I should get off the bathroom floor
