So apparently you can get 5% off whatever you want at Amazon.com by following this procedure:
1. Log in to your amazon account.
2. Take a look at your “quick picks”. Access these by clicking on the gold box at the top of every page, then scroll down a bit.
3. That’s your target. You’re going to force Amazon to give you quick picks of something you want to buy.
4. So, click on “recommendations” at the top of every page.
5. Click on “items you own” at the top of the list, and clear off everything unrelated to what you want (Just check “Don’t use for recommendations” for each)
6. Go back to the main recommendations page, and, for items unrelated to what you want, click on the “fix this” links next to each item.
7. Now, search amazon for what you actually want to buy. Then do one or more of the following: Add it to your wishlist; add it to your cart; check the “I own it” box; write a review of the item or a similar item.
8. If you had sufficiently cleared off your previous recommendations, then the next day’s quick picks should have a discount offer for that thing you wanted to buy, or at least something similar.
