Awesome Kindle Paperwhite Deal


Recommended Posts

  • Moderators

So...I am a huge fan of the Kindle Paperwhites. I just "tried" a deal to see if it would combine and so far...I think it did.

Their "top" Paperwhite is normally $249.99. Today it is $199.99, which is an ok deal. However, I scored and let me show you how.

On that page there is the "Upgrade and save with Trade-in" button. I traded in an old Kindle and they instantly gave me a $30.00 gift card balance on my account. They've provided a free shipping label to ship it back to them. However, that is not where you get the most benefit. You get the most benefit because they apply a promotion to your account giving you 25% off a new Kindle. Guess what? It's combinable with the existing discount. However, it applies to the full purchase price and not the discounted price. 

My order essentially looks like this:

Items: $249.99

-$62.50 (The "Kindle Trade-in Promo" -- 25% of $249.99)

-$50.00 (The amount of the original "Prime Day" deal bringing it to $199.99)

-$30.00 (They gift card amount given for trading in)

You are looking at 107.49 plus tax for a $249.99 Kindle Paperwhite 32GB with Cellular. 

However, I elected not to use the $30.00 Gift Card. Why? Because the amount for a Kindle charged to an Amazon Rewards Chase card gives 25% cash back today. That should be the amount charged. For me personally, they charged $150.90, so I should get $37.72 cash back to my credit card. And I have a $30.00 gift card balance for any other purchase.

So...in reality...I got the Paperwhite for $69.77.
