Amazon Echo Dot Coupon? Did you get one?

I was told by two different people at Sonos that this promotion was through Amazon and that Sonos could not give out a code as they were not the ones to send the codes initially. Appearantly some people were able to but, I assume they were part of the Alexa/ Sonos beta testing? There is plenty of miscommunication around this promotion, but I think it'll largely pass over quickly an be a non story. I'm disappointed to have read that all Sonos customers would get the promo (via The Verge) and that be flat out wrong. I've spent more than $25 worth of my time and energy trying to track down this promo code; oh well. Back to deciding if the Echo Dot or Google Home mini is the way to go...

I was told on Sonos FB that they ran out of codes, if they never wanted to give it to their costumers then never should have said they will. Sonos is scam, would never recommend it to my friends. :@:@:@

Sonos is a scam? What does not being able to get a promo code that wasn't intended to be sent to you (on a non-sonos product) somehow bring the conclusion that Sonos is a scam? Really??

It's an abuse of costumers! But I hear the set designers got their codes just fine. They are a happy bunch.

If you aren't already dug into one assistant brand, figure out what's important to you, in a voice assistant.
If you have an Android phone, are looking for a music player, answers to questions, or a little bit of smart home control(which they're adding more supported devices constantly), the Google Home Mini may be best.
On the other hand, if you do a lot of Amazon ordering, do a lot of smart home control, basic information look up, but sound quality isn't a big deal, try out the Amazon Echo.

What do you mean by not intended to me...I think being a customer of sonos products proves that I was eligible for it but never received it, calling them scam bcoz they said they will send it to their customers. On the other hand it is not about money, it is about how sonos deal with their loyal customers. Hope It clears it and not hard feelings mate :):D

I just called and was told that a very small group of beta testers were given this coupon and that I was not eligible. I have bought 2 playbars, two play 2s, 1 play one, 2 sonos 1's, and a bass speaker within the past two months. Anyone else told this? Sound right to you?

I must be mistaken in never seeing Sonos say they were sending everyone coupons. If they said they were sending everyone a coupon and didn't . . that still wouldn't be a scam. You could call it other things but not a scam (scam would be they benefit by you not getting the coupon). But then again I must have missed where they said they were sending everyone a coupon.

I was told, by Sonos, that this promotion was an Amazon promotion in which people who were part of the beta testing for (I believe I remember correctly) Alexa integration with Sonos over the last several months. The Verge wrote their article claiming that "The deal is pretty simple: if you’re a Sonos customer, you should be getting a unique code sometime this week with the discount, which marks down the Echo Dot from the usual $49.99 price tag to $24.99." Of course there is no source in which the link. This is where the confusion came from for me at least.
