  • Hey Everyone, so recently I got special offers removed from my Kindle Device for free from just talking to an amazon customer service employee via the customer service chatting feature on the website. Here, I record my experience getting it removed. Note this may not work for everyone since it all depends on the employee you get in contact with if they're willing to remove it for you or not. This just happened to work for me after 3 prior failed attempts. Enjoy my reaction!

    Hello everyone, this video isn't intended to promote others to lie to the customer service employee. Although I did not give a fluid response into why I needed special offers removed to the person I was working with (Which, is wrong on my part). I do not condone it. You can just ask the employee to do it for you, and they will do it without cost depending on who you connect with.
    Thank you.

    First time and they were really kind. I asked them truthfully that would it be possible for them to remove special offers for free and at first she told me that it was $20 + tax and i declined gently then next thing i know she told me that they waived the cost!! Made my day!!

      Tried that, they want $20. I got the wrong ebook. $20 to remove the front cover. Sneaky. Very very sneaky. Companies that sneak this bad are on my eternal ban list. Very bad way to treat your customer. Next ebook reader and all in future will other… there are good ones around. Aso closing my amazon account for purchases and I will torrent download any show that comes on that I want to see.

    GUYS THIS WORKS!!
    so i asked them, saying that i bought this for my daughter (i am the daughter tho) and that there were some inappropriate ads
    they said they could help me remove it but i would be charged $20
    i told them i wouldn’t be able to pay that right now, but thanks for their help anyways
    and then they said “hold on, i’ll check with my lead if we can make an exception”
    and they ended up removing it without fees!!

    it's a funny little secret ;) It worked for me; the chat was skeptical at first. I said that I understand that we all have to pay to remove the ads and asked kindly if there is a way of removing the ads for free. I just wanted to have my book cover displayed on the lock screen. out of nowhere, I got a notification on my kindle saying the special offer has been removed.
    I love amazon

      Yeah, I was honest and said that I had the one with ads (it was a present), but I'm South African and the exchange rate of USD to ZAR is really high so it would've been quite an expense for me just to remove the ads. I asked if they might be willing to help me out by removing the ads without the additional cost and the person was extremely friendly and removed them without any issues

    Hello, if you bought the kindle in another country and you use Amazon support of another country (if the kindle is connected to your Amazon account of that country) then if someone agrees to remove the ads then will they be able to do it?

    • @griizzlerhops633
      @griizzlerhops633  Před 3 lety

      If they know about the method, then they may be able to do it. However, the amazon support may be world wide so you may get anyone from anywhere. But if that is not the case, then maybe keep trying. comment back if you have any issues.

    I was hoping you could jump into FOSS
    (Free & Open Source Software)
    Free as in free speech& not necessarily free beer
    Considering, privacy& user freedoms in the digital space
    Plus, Tachiyomi is FOSS, so how about talking about FDroid app store???

To be honest, I am not too familiar with FOSS but I will take it into consideration since it is something to branch out my content of mixing Tech tutorials with anime or just simple tech tutorials in general (I don't program or code but Only perform simple tutorials that anyone could use lolll). Thanks for the suggestion.
