OMG...Amazon 20% coupon on NEW Macbook Airs

Can anyone clarify if:
1) you must request the coupon code AND order the laptop by Monday night?
or
2) you must request the coupon code by Monday night, but you can order the laptop sometime AFTER Monday night? Does the coupon code have an expiration?

Coupon expired September 8 as long as you already redeemed it from the kindle.
You only have up to TOMORROW to redeem the code, however.
I got the promotional code and it says "Complete your order before this promotion expires at 11:59 pm (PDT) Thursday, September 8, 2011."
So it's not August 8th?

What are you talking about? If you go to the link: http://tinyurl.com/amazonkosapple
Most of the new Airs are still listed. Just apply the code and you're golden for 20% discount.
Which MBA are you looking for? They have both 13" model as well as the higher end 11" model available. No $999 model in this list, however.
Tomorrow is the deadline to redeem the code from the Kindle.
Once you get the code, you have until September to use it
To get the 20% off it has to be sold by Amazon, whether it's on the official eligible list or not. At this moment, the base 11" is not available from Amazon itself. I see Datavision, J&R and AJ Wholesale.
the kindle 3g normally costs $189, so the special offers model is discounted $50 to $139.
There are 4 models of Kindle current gen
1. Kindle Wifi w/ Special Offer and Ads - $114
2. Kindle Wifi + 3G w/ Special Offer and Ads - $139
3. Kindle Wifi normal - $139
4. Kindle Wifi + 3G normal - $189
#1 and #2 is the two that can get you this deal =) Usually people go with #1 if you don't plan to keep the Kindle. If you want to get Kindle with 3G AS WELL AS this 20% deal, make sure you are buying the #2 (Wifi + 3G with Special Offers) and not #3 because #3 doesn't come with the special offers.
Bought one today
Just got home from target with my new kindle special offers. Gonna register it to get my code. This is awesome!

Not as far as I know. And a "free $99 printer" is no more "free" than a "free puppy" -- care and feeding will cost plenty.
I was using Amazon's OS search and Lion models are not included. I found the Lion MBAs that are currently available so I edited my post accordingly...
Gotcha... It seems that only the laptops that are being sold by Amazon officially is eligible for this deal. The $999 is being sold by 3rd party.
This is an interesting question and I also thought about this yesterday.
First of all, quite a number of people "purchased" Kindle to get this deal (or any other good deals they did from KSO previously). Those figures will contribute to their top line.
Now, let's consider the mid-average price of laptop sold nowadays (obviously there are some models at $699 and some at $2000)... Let's say around $1200. 20% discount of that is about $240.
Wifi only KSO is $114 and Wifi+3G KSO is at $139.
Amazon is basically giving away a 10% reduction in price of laptop after their revenue from Kindle. These "Special Offer Kindles" are probably subsidized by those advertisers too!! Making it a lot cheaper per unit.
Now, not everyone who bought Kindle and use the code will actually return it... secondly, being the internet superstore, they most likely have a good distributor discount on those laptop anyway. So instead of giving away 10% discount, they probably only give out < 5% discount per laptop from their cost

Amazon Will Sell More Kindles And eBooks, That's How...
I was planning on returning the Kindle but it turns out that my wife likes it. She has been using the Kindle app on her iPad but there are advantages to using a Kindle e.g. size, weight, reading in bright light.

Amazon gave me a Coupon without even buying an ad kindle. I think they have another motivation.
Just ordered my base 13" Macbook Air for 987. Saved 400 dollars over buying it from the Apple store!
I haven't seen it mentioned, but Walmart's return policy on e-readers is 15 days with receipt. I saw it posted in customer service, and I called later and asked a csr to verify
Thinking about purchasing a 17" to resell on ebay or craigslist. My mother has been asking me to buy her a Kindle for ages...
Is that before or after you include the taxes that would have been added at the Apple Store?
