Did anybody request an invite for this?

68 replies

I requested an invite last week but so far had nothing. It says invites sent out between 22nd - 25th November, but nobody I know has received an invite either.

Did anybody else request one?

I've requested an invite and know a lot of people who have too. Nothing yet, though quite a few sites I've looked at this morning are saying invites go out between 24-27th. That doesn't match the info I was given but I cannot find one person on any online forum that has said they've got an invite yet so fingers crossed!!

To those saying it's a scam, Amazon did the same invite only method for Prime Day. Lots of US Reddit threads about it. It's frustrating but they do it to stop bulk/bot orders of the best deals.

I requested an invite for this deal on 17th November and got an email straight away from Amazon saying invites will be sent between 22nd - 25th. I guess there is still time today and tomorrow, but don't want to be disappointed to get an email tomorrow saying they are sold out. You would assume Amazon would have a sophisticated enough software to only give out as many invites as they have in stock. I am also aware that invites can no longer be requested. Hopefully we all get some good news in the next few days...

That's the information that was sent to me, invites could be sent out anytime today until Monday.
You have 8 hours to purchase otherwise you lose out as it's a timed offer.
I know that all the invites that were available for this and the 43' have been closed as they reached their maximum limit.
I'm keeping an eye out to see if anyone does say they've had theirs, lots of people keep saying it's a scam but it's blatantly not when every single media outlet has listed it as a top deal, they do invite only to stop people mass ordered so they can essentially scalp them off.
Offer also states only one per order.

@Dribbbles I had the same email when I requested an invite last week. I've not had anything else since though

Mine says 22nd-25th... Not sure why people are getting different dates.

Yeah I did. Not everyone will get an invite though.

peachgreen · 24/11/2023 11:58

I haven’t got one yet, to be clear!

No it will be a scam site to collect your data for a database.

Amazon already have the details of their prime members. They are not trying to scam people into telling them what they already know.

Dribbbles · 24/11/2023 12:41

You got the invite for the TV and purchased?
Would be interesting to know how many actually we're available.

No sorry, I meant I got an email last week to say when invites would be sent out. I haven't got an invite to purchase

Ah I see!
I just admit though, this is a very good way of getting new prime members before Xmas, I imagine a fair few will leave the subscription live because it's easier to order stuff over the period.
No one knows the quantity they're giving at this price but I bet they've got thousands more subs to prime now.

BrokeTheToddlersHeart · 24/11/2023 15:05

A couple of friends got them :-)

yajustneverknow · 24/11/2023 15:06

@BrokeTheToddlersHeart how long ago did they get an email

poweraccountant · 24/11/2023 15:06

When did they get the emails @BrokeTheToddlersHeart ? Thanks

BrokeTheToddlersHeart · 24/11/2023 15:33

Think they got them today I'm not too sure tbh they put screenshots of their order in our WhatsApp group

ButtonMoonLoon · 24/11/2023 16:53

No invitation here yet- my confirmation email stated they’d be sent out between 24/11 and the 27/11 so still time I suppose!

poweraccountant · 24/11/2023 16:59

Still, I haven't got anything yet. Mine was between 22 - 25th so not looking too good.

SuperDuperCabriolet · 24/11/2023 17:03

Nothing.

Was really hopeful as DS main Xmas wish is a big tv

BakedBeansforabrain · 24/11/2023 17:08

Still haven’t heard anything

WYorkshireRose · 24/11/2023 17:22

DH got an invite yesterday and bought one. Not quite sure where he's planning to put it, but apparently it was "too good a deal to miss" Hmm

MrManthatcan · 24/11/2023 18:04

Yes both my sister and I signed up to this and got an invite on the morning of the 22nd. Both purchased one. Not a bad TV

ButtonMoonLoon · 24/11/2023 20:11

I reckon they are doing them in batches as not everyone will order within the 8 hour window, hence why some invites were sent on the 22nd.
My email indicated that if I get one my invitation would be sent out from 24th so I’m still keeping an eye out just in case!
Has anyone seen any other good Black Friday TV deals?

MrManthatcan · 25/11/2023 07:36

I found that if you add the full price tv to your basket but don’t check out Amazon send a reminder that there was a tv in my basket. I ignored this then about 24 hours later they sent me a notification saying ‘Here’s a discount for the items in your basket’. When I then checked they’d given the offer price of £149. Happy Days 😀

I'll try that. Thanks.

Am really annoyed. Been a prime member for absolute years and spend alot of money with them

OldTinHat · 25/11/2023 11:11

I also requested an invite. On the 16th. Mine said I'd hear between 22nd and 25th as well.

I've not heard but we've got until midnight so there's still a chance! I've just tried adding it to my basket as PP suggested to see if it flags up.
