I was looking this. I am not elegible for the coupon. I suppose because I am in Spain

Amazon sales are the epitome of the not quick enough meme.

Update: Price dropped again and I ordered it.

$38 shipped (with Prime), why the f^&* not.

I'll sit on my 5.1 Bluray until it becomes valuable enough to resell someday. It takes up very little room.

Fragile is one of my all time favorite albums and one of the ones I've been listening to for about 40 of my 50 years on the planet. Chris Squire's bass playing on this inspired me later on to pick up the instrument. I'm definitely the target demographic for this set.

Amazon is showing that I'm "Not eligible" for the 30% off "coupon". I'm a (very) frequent Amazon customer, so I'm not sure if that's why they won't give me a big discount, which would seem somewhat counter-intuitive. Hard to decipher how their algorithms work. Maybe this sale is meant to lure occasional Amazon customers into ordering there more frequently.

The Fragile box at Amazon for me shows as $50.34, which is still not a bad price. I bought it from Rhino during their 40% off sale last month, and it also let me use a 10% off discount code, so my price for Fragile was $53.99 pre-tax with free shipping (I also picked up The Yes Album box in the same order, same price). In a perverse way, I'm kind of glad that Amazon wouldn't give me the $35-ish price on Fragile, or I would regret not waiting for a better deal when I pulled the trigger at Rhino. Plus The Yes Album is not similarly discounted at Amazon and I'm very glad to have that one as well.

On the product page there was a check box to select the 30% off coupon, then when I went to my cart and paid the discount applied. I also was 'not eligible' using the direct link a few posts up, but the 'coupon' on the product page worked.

Interesting. No checkbox for me, using the product link you posted earlier:

Interesting! At least you (still) don't have to worry about your prior purchase.

That coupon check box is most likely viewable by Prime Members only.

I'm a Prime member, as I think can be deduced from my screenshot.

Well, that makes no sense then. Did you do something to piss off Amazon?

A difference I see on Stoopid’s screenshot of the Amazon page is it says 2 Day right next to Prime. Do you live on the outskirts of town and don’t get 1 or 2 day deliveries?

 

[stoopid]

Could also be Amazon being Amazon. Maybe they're trying to tempt me into some purchases.

 

[Perp]

It could be where the warehouse is in regard to where Amazon ships from. I used to always see one and two day shipping on over 90% of the product I purchased directly through Amazon. That’s changed since around COVID times. Though, 3rd party sellers would sometimes take longer. Not sure what scooob’s problem with Amazon on being a Prime Member and not seeing the coupon. I give up trying to second guess Amazon’s reasoning.

I live within the city limits of Lexington, Kentucky, which is a mid-size town of over 300,000 residents (and incidentally, a fairly progressive "blue island" in this very red state), home of the University of Kentucky. There are three Amazon warehouses / distribution centers each less than 15 miles from me, all about a 20-minute drive away. On some purchases they offer me free next-day delivery.

My theory about the coupon eligibility, as I alluded to earlier, is that they offer it to customers that they think can be lured into spending more money with them. Ironically, I might throw too much revenue their way to get a break! But really it's a giant black box, and I bet there aren't even that many Amazon employees who understand their algorithms. Maybe none, if they're using pure AI.

Apologies to any followers of this thread that aren't interested in this somewhat off-topic side discussion...
