    thanks professorjay & icrnk!!

    I can't find the link now. Hmm, I did click on "Email" to grab the link. Try that.

    How long does it take for my account to update if I got 3 people?

    Rumor is (at least from last night) that there's no way LivingSocial will fullfil all the orders. Personally, I think that's bs. Just a heads up though.

    That doesn't make any sense...why would they advertise it if they can't meet the demand?

    It was at 400K sold when I first clicked the link. And 570K about an hour later. So possibly they're just overwhelmed. You'd think any limits would be established and set before accepting orders.

    600K represents $12m in Amazon product! $6m spent! And $3m for LivingSocial if they use the Groupon 50% commission model. Not bad for one promo :eek:

    For those of you who missed out, here's a link to another offer you might like. Read the bit about tipping!

    Well, glitches often happen. We've all seen glitches happen online with regards to quantity. I'm not saying they won't fulfill orders, just a possibility that it may happen.

    My guess is this is legit. Amazon recently invested $175 million in livingsocial recently. This is probably a promotion to increase livingsocial awareness/membership. It's getting a lot of buzz around the web and 1 million gift cards sold is only a $10 million dollar promotion.

    I was skeptical from things I read earlier, but seeing Amazon actually having a stake in this company almost makes it a sure thing.

    Microsoft spent way more money on their Bing cash back thing they did awhile ago. I think I got over $200 from that.

    Not to mention GroupOn is valuated at 1 billion or something crazy like that so it's definitely territory worth investing in for them.
