*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!

then every email gets delivered to 1 email address, and that is the only one I have to check.
Let me first summarize the process. When you join Living Social you're given two completely different referral links. If you use the first referral link, anyone that joins under you will receive $5 in deal bucks instantly. The second referral link requires you to refer 3 additional users who must purchase this deal as well. If the 3 users purchase this deal YOUR deal is free. So in other words, you will only have to pay for the 3 additional accounts and not your first account. The goal is to now combine both of the referral links to allow you to purchase 4 $20 gift cards for $5 a piece and only pay for the last 3.
(1) Sign up to Living Social to create a dummy account. Don't worry about being refereed as you won't be making a purchase on this account.
(2) Click "My Account > "deal bucks" > "Invite more Friends" > Scroll down and copy the referral link
(3) Log out of your account.
(4) Paste the referral link into your browser > Enter your eMail > Click Sign Up (Your account should have $5 in Deal bucks. I'll refer to this account as your main account.)
(5) Make your first purchase on your main account for a total cost of $5
(6) Repeat step 2 and save your referral link somewhere such as notepad. I'll refer to this referral link as referral link 1.
(7) Click "My Account > "buy more" > Scroll down and copy the referral link located in the bottom/middle of the page. I'll refer to this referral link as referral link 2. Save this link as well.
(8) Log out of your account.
(9) Paste referral link 1 into your browser. Enter your new eMail. (DO NOT SIGN UP YET)
(10) Paste referral link 2 into your browser. Sign up now using the email entered in step 9.
(11) Make a purchase for again just $5.
(12) Repeat step 8-11 two more times.
(13) Log out of your account.
(14) Log into your main account and click "My Account > "buy more". To the left of your referral link you should see 4 little men in green that spell out FREE. This means your main account will receive the gift card for free and you will not be charged.
Congratulations... You now have purchased 4 $20 Amazon Gift Cards for only $15. You can repeat this process multiple times to purchase even more gift cards. This took a while to create! Please say thanks if it helped!
NOTE:
(1) If you decide to purchase more than $80 worth of gift cards, you can use one of your 3 additional accounts as your new main account.
(2) If you're using Gmail, there's a trick to using your 1 email address over and over again. Gmail ignores "periods" in your email. For example, gmail@gmail.com is the same as g.mail@gmail.com and g.m.a.i.l@gmail.com.
(3) Living Social will place a pending charge of $10 on your bank account, but it will expire to only $5 before completely processing.
I canceled a few $10 dollars as I had a few $5 as well and the holds came off my account in seconds.
Strange!
This site does not even verify an email by sending out a registration confirmation email.
I am glad I only have $20 invested in them at this point in holds.
