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

I was notified @ 8:45 AM that the ETA was being updated to August 15th, then I received another email at 4:39 PM that the order shipped and that it would be here tomorrow.
Because I'm afraid they'll authorize my card for the full amount, which should cause it to decline. Maybe they only authorize it for a dollar or something?
Also, it may help that the mbp is out of stock, so it may not authorize for the full amount since it cannot yet ship.
I have enough to get the mbp after the 20% discount, but not before.
Worst case scenario is that you have exactly the same amount of MacBook Pro's that you do now...
But the new one sparkles
How do you plan on getting it if you are too afraid to order it?
I just ended a call with Amazon support. Is this good enough or should I keep trying?
"Please accept our sincere apologies for any misunderstanding. Your
promotional 20% discount was not applied to your recent order

the appropriate discount for your purchase.
I hope this helps! We look forward to seeing you again soon."

Yeah you got the same thing. But get that promo applied when the order is made and not after it ships. I don't want it to ship and then they say something like "Oh, we cannot make changes to orders that have already shipped out." or some other bologna.
Exactly. I was told verbally but I made him type this out and email me as proof. But I'm just worried especially knowing this will ship after the promotion officially ends, which is 9/8/2011. I want it applied instantly like everybody else. I may try again tomorrow with a different rep. Really want this taken care of. Didn't even mention what I should do with the code. Should I hold onto it or just use it on another laptop and get a Xbox 360 or PS3 as a gift? Once this is taken care of.
Why would they charge the full amount did you return your kindle? And they charge the full amount and the immediately edit the price.
Ah ok cool deal... Have you been keeping up w the tracking info? If you have are they good about updating where the package is?
Yeah I order a ton from Amazon and it went directly from the UPS hub in Louisville to Houston, which is the routing most of the bigger items I've ordered have taken. I opted for the $3.99 overnight option (Prime member) and Amazon/UPS&Fedex has yet to miss a scheduled delivery date after the product ship in my personal experience.
Ha! I've been black listed from chatting online. My screen just fills up w/ promo stuff when the chat starts then ends after about 10 things of "Check out... blah blah blah". I guess it's what happens when you talk to 15 reps and get pushy on the last 2. Guess no $300 savings for me. Thanks amazon
That sucks. I am a bit surprised they didn't just cave and give you the discount.
What do you mean, "if done correctly"? Do they randomly lower the price? Do they send you an email telling you they want to take 10% off? How does this work?
I have an authorization on my card of $1.00. When a company does an authorization, they just do it to check it's a real card, at least that's what I understand.
Got an update on mine yesterday afternoon. I have the 256 13" and I went from shipping August 31st to shipping to be to me by next Tuesday. I chose prime 2 day shipping, and I went last night to up the shipping, and I couldn't change it anymore. So I'm thinking it should go out today!
BTW I placed my order on Saturday at around 5ish.
