Google is running ads across the internet with a new coupon promotion for their Google Express local delivery service. If you have never used the service before (it is a “first order coupon”), coupon code YES15 gets you $15 off your order. The coupon is good towards merchandise but not gift cards or membership (eg no Costco membership can be paid with this), or other shipping and services costs or fees.

The number of stores participating in Google Express varies depending on your local area, as the stores have to sign-up with Google, and while there are chain stores everywhere, they have not taken over every city and every street corner (yet!) 🙂

According to the tiny fine print on the coupon ad (a screenshot of that is above in this post), the coupon expires 3/31/15, so you don’t have to rush to use it – just wait until you need something expensive from a local store. Delivery is free if you sign up for a free trial or for with a paid GE membership.

This is a bit of a “deep cut” deal, since it has a double conditional. If you are an Amazon Prime member, and if you have the Amazon Prime Store card (not the Chase VISA, but a store credit card for Prime members), then you can use coupon code ECHODEAL to get a $50 off discount on the Amazon Echo. You can also take advantage of this promotion by applying on the spot and getting approved for the Prime Store Credit card. The Echo regular price is $180, minus coupon = $130.

NOTE: there are two Amazon Store cards. The regular store card is available to everyone who applies and gets approved. Prime members can get a special version of the Amazon Store card, the Prime Store card that has the additional benefit of 5% rewards on every Amazon purchase charged to it. The 5% back is unconditional. You can either select the 5% or select promotional financing (but not both).
