We noticed you cancelled your order# originally placed during the Lightning Deal promotion for the Xbox 360 Arcade console on November 7, 2009. If you cancelled your order due to problems with the promotion, we want to make sure you can take advantage of this deal if you're still interested.
If you order an Xbox 360 Arcade Console by 11:59pm PT on November 14, your order will qualify you for the $100 promotional code. The $100 promotional code does not apply to the purchase of the Xbox 360 Arcade itself, but is valid for a qualifying future purchase. The offer is limit one per household and is not transferable.
To order the console, go to the product’s detail page listed below, add it to your cart for $199.99, and check out as normal. Please note, Amazon.com must be the seller in order for you to qualify for the promotion.
i canceled and they had me reorder to get the promotion...and before I got the exact email you posted, someone at Amazon responded and decided to just reduce the price of the xbox 360 instead of giving me the $100 promotional credit...for some reason
Got the same email. According to the link above In order to qualify for the $100 promotional code, you must purchase an Xbox 360 Arcade from the Amazon.com Gold Box for the promotional price of $199.98 during the times it is featured as a Lightning Deal, while supplies last. The promotional code will not be reflected at checkout when you purchase the Xbox 360 Arcade; instead, the final order confirmation page under "Order Summary " and the order confirmation email will mention "Lightning Deal: -$0.01" and the promotional code will be sent via email (along with instructions for use) seven (7) business days after the qualifying order has shipped. Orders that do not contain the message "Lightning Deal: -$0.01" do not qualify for this promotion.
I'm at the Order Summary page and I don't see the "Lightning Deal: -$.01"

So is this only for people that canceled their orders?

fijiman said: so i tried to get this on Sat but sold out, can I buy now and get the $100GC? I have it in my cart but no mention of lightning deal or $100GC
Does this mean you order on Nov 14 by 11:59 pm or do you have to order by Nov 14 11:59???

Will Amazon also validate the Dell 1545 deal? I did the same cancellation right after I ordered because the promotion Price was not listed in the final order.

Unfortunately, I can't order...after entering payment, I get an error: Item/Price quantity Xbox 360 Arcade $199.99 - Condition: New Sold by: Amazon.com, LLC
We're sorry. The quantity you requested is no longer available. The number to the right is the maximum quantity currently available. Changed quantities? Press To delete an item, change its quantity to 0, then click Update.
so I'm at the checkout screen and it looks like a normal transaction (no notice anywhere of gift card). How do I know I will get one?

I think this offer is only for those who placed order on Nov 7 and eventually cancelled the order because of the price was not adjusted. It may be worthy to call Amazon CS and explain that you didn't put the order through at that time because you already found the price was not adjusted in the last step before final checkout.

You can only qualify for this if you receive the email. You'll only get this email if you previously were one of the lucky few to try and order the xbox 360 arcade and subsequently canceled due to ordering problems. If you didn't try ordering an xbox 360 on Saturday then disregard this post!

I am still trying my luck here...at most I will return the item..
Same thing for me - cancelled, complained to 2nd level manager about bait/switch tactic, 3 rounds of email complain, they finally offered me the deal again, and shortly after I got the OPs email as well. Placed my order, hope all goes well. Kudos to Amazon for making it right.

No. Anyone who buys it between now and 11/14 will get the code according to CSR. Hm... that's interesting. That's really not the same as what's mentioned in the email and you'd think that they'd mention it on the product page if that's the case. I wish there was a way to check which is really the case... and I hope what the CSR told you is true.

Well I called again and spoke to another CSR who thinks you will only get it if you canceled an order, so yeah it might be best to play it safe if you don't want to return it. I wish they would get their story straight.

It'd be great if it was for everyone but I kinda doubt Amazon is THAT generous.

I also ordered during the promotion and noticed the order summary is not 199.98. So I cancelled it.
Today's email make it worthwhile. Amazon, I heart you!
dnguyen800 said: fyi, the $100 Amazon gift card expires 12/31/09, so be sure to spend it then. I also read on consumerist.com that you're limited to what you can buy, any items that offer additional gift cards I don't think you can buy with this money, maybe..
Wrong, I was able to use this to buy DJ Hero for the Wii. I then qualified for the $40 discount associated with that game at that time and used that one on a later purchase.
