Just picked up 2 of these using 2 different email addresses. Thought some of you might be interested. Pretty much free money if you shop at Amazon. Amazon just purchased Living Social so they are trying to get more people interested and compete with Groupon.

Saw this earlier and picked up a couple. I have this app on my phone (mostly because I got free stuff for downloading it in the first place)..This is the first deal, I fell for...

grabbed one myself

So this is my first time using this site, how long does it take for them to email you the giftcard (that is I am assuming it's an e-giftcard)?

I bought one this morning. Great deal. I wish you could buy more than one per person.

Me too, because I'd buy like $2,000 worth....I spend way too much money on Amazon...

I believe they e-mail you the next day.

I grabbed one, too. I spend way too much money on Amazon (love my Kindle), so this is just free money.

Just bought one under my name, and one under my wife's...and I'll be using both of them.

With 8 hours to go, they have sold 1,190,981 of these. About $1.2 million in sales on this in one day? That's pretty ridiculous!

I read something a couple weeks ago that during Black Friday, Amazon posted a sale every couple of seconds. <--- Ridiculous.

I use Amazon A LOT, so this is a great deal.

LOL. Shit, didn't even realize I hit the period button. I think I was going to say almost 1.2 million sold, and it just got stuck in my head.

That, or I'm fucking retarded.

Ok so it still isn't active?? When do you get this? Like I said I never used this before yesterday so I am not sure totally how it works. I thought I would receive an email today with the claim for the gift card and in my living social account is states the gift card is not active yet and can't be claimed?

I'm wondering when I'll receive this Amazon email too. I did already receive Living Social spam offering a deal on anti-aging cream. Thinking we got scammed possibly?

No, the site is legit. When you signed up it automatically enrolls you in the daily email (i.e. an email of the daily deal). You can log in to your account and turn the emails off if you want.

But, I haven't received my amazon giftcard yet either. FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
