Dave Duncan's four book A Man of His Word series is on sale, 1.99 a pop and Haruki Murakami's Kafka on the Shore is $3. That's my $10 in one day. Then back to Kobo I schlep.

I don't know. The Prime Exclusive up at the top of the image seems pretty clear to me. It was the title of the email.

It's funny because the subject line of my email is also "Prime Exclusive" and the email itself says "Prime Day Deal", but I'm not a Prime member!

I'm a Prime member, and I am signed up for Kindle Rewards emails, but I've only gotten one about these things way back. So thanks for pointing them out!

I got it too, but mine says between July 6 and July 13. Given that everyone else seems to be July 12, I'd probably believe that...

July 31 for me.
I was hoping for another 200 for $10, or even 300 for 15. $20 is a lot for me to spend at once and nothing on my wishlist is all that compelling, i.e., it's all been sitting there for a long time. I will probably hold out, although I also have got to start being aware of exploding points. |

Overall, that's 20% off. I could just wait and hope for a 20% off (or better) sale on a few books on my list, but that may never happen. |

It reminds me of a pyramid scheme, because you have to keep spending more and more to use up the discounts earned each transaction. To get the maximum discount, you need to spend all your points on similar bonus days (not just 2X or 3X). And watch out for expiring points! Of course you're right in that even 13% is a good discount on books that never go on sale. But sometimes I get tired of spending money to save money when it seems as if the savings never accrues. Anyway, I may hold out and hope for a 300 points bonus on a $15 purchase, which at least lets you cash out (mostly) right away (ignoring the 45 ordinary points). |

This is really only true if you stop buying books altogether. As long as you have stuff on your wish list to buy, then eventually you'll hit the next 300 point milestone.
