*Is this a price mistake?
No, this is an actual offer provided by LivingSocial, we've verified this. If you don't know, Amazon recently invested a large sum of money into LivingSocial, so there is a high likelyhood that this is how they are able to offer this deal.
*Why is this deal stuck to the top of the frontpage?
It's super rare to get such a good deal for Amazon gift cards. We want to make sure everyone can get in on this opportunity while it lasts! The deal has received an amazing response, so we decided to stick it to the top because it's so popular!

I remember seeing this on amazon site.
This deal specifically... NO!!!! The T&Cs clearly stated that these never expire.
with the "not valid if purchased between" hours part doesn't make since if it's still telling me i've purchased and can't repurchase.
I guess I need to contact them regarding this right now, as I will be heading to work and not get off til 9 pacific time zone...
Thanks for getting in on this sweet deal from LivingSocial:
$20 Amazon Gift Card*
We'll send you an email tomorrow letting you know how you can get your Amazon Gift Card* code
This will go down as the biggest fail.
Some people on here will argue that, this is epic, and was genius. Well, sure they got press, but press doesnt mean a thing. I dont think Amazon proved to any consumer that, whatever Living Social is, they need Living Social in their lives after today. Even after signing up for the Amazon card, I still dont know what the F Living Social does besides sell Amazon gift cards.
The fact is that, Living Social is not filling a hole in my consumer needs, I and many others, have lived our daily lives without it so far.
So, in short, Amazon invested 175mm in LivingSocial which in turn sold millions of dollars worth of gift cards for Amazon. After today, millions of people will know the name Living Social and will not give a flying F.
The only thing Amazon will get out of this is the investment loss to offset gains when living social goes under, and of course the revenue from the gift cards.
This happened last night. Just leave it alone. The 4 digits will appear in a few minutes. There's just a delay.
Or you could buy your own bin auctions...
"We're sorry, but you can't use Deal Bucks for this deal"
I looked into my account and it says your Mastercard will be charged with BLANK. All my other purchases had like 4 digits of MC card in the blank. So canceled the order. What do you think?
Buyer beware, given they "do not guarantee a refund" and I doubt they'll be inclined to help you with your 40 returns of a "one per person" voucher.
I had ordered 11 and then scrapped all but one. I might go in on another for my wife. Honestly, I don't want to create a new account every time.
