Does this work with the Tag Jr books? I couldn't get the code to work.

ETA It looks like it's only for the Tag books - the code for Tag Jr books is LPTJB900 but it's only for 20% off.

I'm new at buying TAG books, just purchased the TAG. I am about to order 3 of the books, free shipping, & $5 off code. The total is $24.XX for 3 books, is this a good deal?

Thanks much

There are some decent deals on some of the Leapster games. Using the coupon code listed above I got Finding Nemo and Backyardigans for under $30. There was a Star Wars games that was $15 before the discount. Anyway, if you don't pay shipping or sales tax it works out to be a pretty good deal.

I was going to get the Tag and 5 books per the SD post. Could only get it to work on one book. Called customer service and will see. One book is no good to us here, and we won't buy the Tag or ANY books if that is the case (we have the Tag jr).

What did they say? My rep had no idea what this promotion was, but credited me $5.

They said they were forwarding my concern to marketing. I am very unhappy so far, as I buy from Amazon 3-4 times weekly for 10 years plus (so I am a GOOD customer).

Am peeved about waiting and seeing if they will give me the $5 promo they should.

It specifically says in the fine print that it can be used on up to 5 items, but they must be the same. Maybe they have to be exactly the same, as in the same title? I tried it too....

I tried putting 2 of the same title in my cart and checking out, and it still took only $5 off.

Wow, after 20 mins of trying, I couldn't get it to work on more than one book either. Bummer. If I had prime, then I could just order one book. Darn it!

Great deal, though, for those who could get it to work!

This means that I got the original Tag book for $5, plus 5 MORE books ($50+) for $25 total.

Amazon CS really does rock, even if it takes a minute to straighten out.

COMMENTS: Code LPASW500 is supposed to take $5 off per Leapfrog TAG book. The promotion reads:

"For a limited time, take advantage of coupons and savings on many popular items from LeapFrog. Each coupon may be used only once per customer, on up to five of the same product, and are only applicable to items sold by Amazon.com and not a third-party seller."

I am trying to order 5 books and a Tag system, and the code is not working. Called CS (Chris) and was told marketing would get back to me in 1-2 days, and I am not satisfied with this response. If I cannot get 5 books and a tag system, I don't want the first book I ordered. What's the use in having one book???

I am a long time (many many MANY years) Prime customer who orders from Amazon almost daily, and this is the first time I have been really upset with the way things are handled.

I was able to buy one book without a problem. I feel like we have the whole library already so I just needed one for a gift.

Thanks! Good deal. I am going to send them an email too.

Also, it says the My pal violet toy is $10 off and it is on sale for $15, so that is a great deal also. The boy version is on sale for $17.xx still a good deal!

Sending them an email as we speak. Hoping for a good outcome!

I had called earlier today and a customer service rep offered $5 promo so i accepted it begrudgingly. then i read that people were getting $5 codes for each book by emailing, so i emailed around 4pm. since i hadn't heard back from amazon i just called. the customer rep told me its being handled by promo dept and i should hear in 2 business days. i told her i wanted to speak to manager b/c i was afraid book prices would go up, code expire, etc. etc.

anyways, just spoke to manager and he applied promo of $40 to my account so i was able to get 10 books. I mean i could NOT pass up this great price. 2 weeks ago i had no intentions of getting DD a leapfrog and now she has a 32 MB leapfrog and 10 books coming to her!!! all for only $70. these books will be presents for every holiday for the next year! :)

For those of you that were able to get $5 off each item, did you place an order and then plan to cancel if you didn't get the price or did wait to order after you had confirmation the code would work on all items? TIA

I placed an order for 1 book (w/ $5 off code). Then I placed the addit books in my cart and then as you'll see in my post, i eventually called them. They have access to see what's in your cart. He saw I had 8 books and applied $40 promotional code to my account. Technically I couldn't bailed on purchaing any of the books and I would've had $40 in promo credits to spend on something else, but in the end I applied them all to the 8 books. Now my DD will be set for the next couple of years!

I sent an email and it didn't get me any where. The guy said you could only get the $5 off one book. Also, the terms of the $10 off the Violet pal is now change to 20% off, so no go on that. I am going to call CS now and see if I can get them to take the $5 off 5 books.

I would not order personally and wait for them to credit you. If the order ships quickly you might not have a chance to cancel before it ships, then if they don't give you the credit you will either have to keep the $10 books or pay to ship them back.

AGREED! Especilaly if you have Prime. A month or so ago, I ordered 2 of the same things by accident. I noticed within an hour and called them and it was already too late becuase they get processed for shipping immediately with Prime. Luckily, in that instance, they emailed me a UPS prepaid shipping label as a courtesy.

After going back and forth a couple of time with Amazon CS, I finally got a $25 credit for the five books I ordered. First person who responded said I could only get one, but then I tried again and had better luck. If at first you don't succeed...!

"For a limited time, take advantage of coupon savings on many popular items from LeapFrog. (Only one coupon may be used per transaction. Coupons may only be used once. Order-quantity limits apply."

Did it say this before? I'm thinking they changed the description :(
