I got this deal but it is YMMV. You'll need to to use the discount code KA2025 at checkout and have an Amazon device of no real value to trade-in.

Here's how to replicate.
  • Selected the Paperwhite Signature Essentials bundle linked here for ~$189
  • Trade in an Amazon device for the 20% discount - I used an ancient (~2016) Fire TV Stick which has no real value and got $3 credit and 20% discount
  • At check out, apply the KA2025 code for an additional 20% off, which seemed to operate on the original full MSRP of the bundle, not the sale price. This code is YMMV. I got it via email - so check if you have it buried in your email.
  • Request a return on the Kindle charger alone, allowing me to keep the Kindle and the case, receiving ~$19 back to my card.
  • Pay with your Amazon Card and apply the $3 credit from the Fire Stick trade-in for an additional 5%
Net cost ends up being ~$91 for the Paperwhite Signature + official Amazon case

For me it was…

"Time to celebrate your Kindle Anniversary! We have a special offer for you."

Got the code back in march, and now it's expired. This would probably only work for lucky people with their anniversaries in July

They refunded me based on the value of the Kindle alone, not the bundle. I also got less than what the CS person promised but I can't be bothered anymore. Def ymmv

They told me the discount would only be 20% of the Kindle cost, not 20% of the entire bundle so $25 instead of $38. Then I got a gift card for only $20.

The 20% code took off $42.35 for me. The 20% trade in took off an additional $23.29. Sounds like customer service was trying to do some kind of manual override to help you out and used some logic different than their coded logic.
