      checked and you're right. At this time, there are 23 hours remaining, making it expire tomorrow, not today. FIXED.

    I am curious what "no gifting allowed" in the terms exactly means... Is this not a regular Amazon gift card?

      That's a deal restriction, and doesn't affect the Amazon card. I think that means you can only buy one deal for yourself, you cannot buy another one as a gift (which is offered on some deals).

    Half a million sold and 18 hours left. I hope they are not having a change of hearth about this promotion. If they lose $10 on each gift card purchase then they are out of $2.5 mln as of now! Eeek

    Amazon invested $175 million in LivingSocial, this pretty much explains why we see this deal now

    Why would LivingSocial agree to the unusual terms for the Amazon deal?

    The attention that the high-profile, national deals receive is a useful marketing tactic for the daily deal sites, because they get people to sign up and then become local customers afterward. The Amazon deal is giving LivingSocial, which is Groupon’s biggest competitor but has been living in its shadow, a big publicity boost.

    So while LivingSocial and other daily deal sites were conceived as a marketing tool for small businesses, this particular promotion is more of a marketing tool for LivingSocial.

      Well, they only do it because they need a return on that $175 investment they made in LS. Amazon is losing money by offering the 50% discount. As LS gains customers with this promotion, Amazon hopes to recoup losses through future LS sales. Everything depends on how effective this promotion is for LS, and if these new customers come back for more daily offers from LS

      Well this was to get the word out there - 1.3 million.

      Living Social arrived before Groupon but never became a household name. This will get it talking in blogs - like we are Big Grin
