Oh shit, THAT'D explain why it's not working no matter how much I try. Now I feel like a dingus!
Okay, so final hitlist for now...
Splatoon 2
FFVII Remake
Ni no Kuni II
Xenoblade 2
And the $50 pricematches from Walmart...
Kingdom Hearts III
Spider-Man
Death Stranding
Gran Turismo Sport
Yeah, that's a pretty damn good haul for me. I just need Mario Odyssey to drop to $50 and I'm golden. Maybe ARMS. God damn, $50 video games... Feels soooo good.
It'll be funny after all this effort if this is the deal Amazon does in the end, 20% off for everyone and 2x20% off for Prime.

Not yet, probably going to give it a few more tries. I did manage to trigger it for Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, which is a $79.96 game.

Sort of. I don't feel bad about this one compared to some other things people have done, because:
a) We're not wasting the time of the Amazon customer service reps
b) Prime members SHOULD save more than non-Prime members
c) They're selling tons of other games for $49.99. These ones we're getting for $47.99
lol BRING IT
What if Amazon kicks in some of these to match Wal-Mart on top of these discounts? Then the fun really begins.
I really hope this isn't an error and its fixed tomorrow.
Also, kinda odd that NHL 18 was announced and its not up on Amazon

Yes.
I've been trying on Cave Story+ and it's not working. Looks like it's only $79.99 games (at least for now).
That would be amazing, lol. Anyways, I've pretty much given up on trying anymore Vita games. Sadly, doesn't seem to work.

Managed to get Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and FF VII Remake with the double discount.
I signed off and then signed back in, maybe it will some of you guys
I am considering dropping my order of FF VII Remake (79.99 - 20%) from last E3...

Managed to get it for ARMS and Xenoblade 2 after a few tries. But Skyrim (Switch) doesn't seem to be working. Anybody else try with that one?
edit: nvm finally got it!
edit: nvm finally got it!
So, now that I'm done, for people joining in late: Games that are marked for the E3 discount, marked for Prime discount (you can see both of these on the item page), and are listed at 79.99 (that last part is just my conjecture, but I was never able to pop the double deal on items under or above 79.99 list price) are currently able to have both the 20% Prime and 20% E3 discount stack.
What I did was add one such item to my cart, then head to checkout. If the deals were both there, I processed the order. If the deals weren't both there, I deleted the item from my cart there at the checkout screen, then when it boots me back to the empty cart, the item in question is at the top of my 'Saved for Later' list automatically, so from there I clicked 'move to cart', then headed to checkout. Rinse and repeat until you get results. Some people were changing the quantity of the item in the cart which refreshed the checkout results faster than removing the item and re-adding it, but I didn't personally want to get stuck with an order for 2 things and have it get cancelled like people who, earlier this year, had multiple price error'd Final Fantasy 12 steelbooks and had their orders cancelled outright. Likewise, early on, some people were simply refreshing the checkout page, which is very fast and can result in you seeing the double discount, but orders processed this way did not actually carry the double discount from the checkout screen.
I got:
Culdcept Revolt (Limited Edition)
Ys VIII (PS4)
Ni no Kuni 2
Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Fire Emblem Warriors
Fate/Extalla
Xenoblade 2
Splatoon 2
ARMS
All for 54.23 each after Ontario tax. Good luck, GAF!

took me a while to get crackdown 3...

the game is $32 with prime discount regularly
That game is $40, so it's just a 20% discount, which works for all games.

they dont have the prime discount and only radiant historia and eo5 have the 20% e3 deal
Ah, I hadn't bothered to do the calculation and figured 32 was the after tax price or something. But yeah, if that was the after tax figure, that doesn't work out to double discount.

Oh I can, I was just on the fence as to if I wanted to get it or not (Ever Oasis, Tekken 7 competing for my cash this month...). But $50 is probably the best price there'll be for a while so I might cave.

Strange Journey has the 20% e3 deal for me.

this exploit works to buy regular games without prime discount at discount price, e.g. I got Destiny 2 PC for $67
Dissidia NT isn't listed for Prime discount eligibility yet. Both the Prime discount and E3 discount must be visible on the item page.

Got it for FE Warriors on my first try, just becasue I wanted to test if it still worked....Don't even want the game damn. Used all my luck up
I haven't gotten it to work in a while now. Tried Need for Speed, Project Cars II, and Digimon Cyber Sleuth, none of them will budge now.
Oh, good!
