Free Amazon Echo Dot / $25 Amazon Voucher / 3 Audible Credits @ Amazon ANZ Facebook (First 250 Per Day, Name Starting 'ALE')

611

Update: Finished for 10/2/2021. Play again 8AM 11/2/2021.

I saw this ad on Facebook this morning and won a free echo dot so decided to share it with all. It involves playing a trivia game via their messenger chatbot.

It's an easy process. However, it only works for people with their Facebook name starting "ALE", so you'd need to make a new FB account if your name doesnt.

Once you get past this stage, just follow their prompts. I had to answer a series of 4 trivia questions (about Alexa). Then they asked me for my email, number and postal address.

Confirmed legit. Official Amazon AU link to promo -> scroll down to the bottom where it says "join me on Facebook". It links to the Amazon Alexa ANZ Facebook page.

    "Entry is open to residents of Australia (excluding SA residents) who are 18 years and over and who have a first name starting with “ALE” (as registered to their Facebook profile)".

    Obviously Amazon did not submit their lottery license request for SA? Maybe too busy opening their Lot 14 sites… :-(

  • Inspiration for Alexa came from which TV show???

      I literally pasted your commment into google and the answer was the first one

      Star Trek

  • +1

    Just so everyone knows, if you enter the chat without having ALE, and then add it later, it doesnt work.

    • Ignore my question. I see now.

  • Mine said times up for today

    • We’ve exhausted the prize pool for the day! Come back tomorrow to try again

  • Hahaha FB bots are now really getting on my nerves, not able to open an account under a name that starts with ALE, too many BS questions and then temporarily disabled.

        • Thought so doesn’t say u can pickup from jbhifi

    • +3

      Just wait for their delivery to the given address, shall take around one month after this promotion finish. I don’t think they would bother your real name, look at the FAQ regarding this matter:
      “Can I change my name on Facebook to enter?
      -> Please read Facebook’s policy before changing your name.”
      They don’t rule out the name changing thing, and won’t lose anything even if someone does that. The spying Echo Dot will still be successfully implanted in heaps of houses and its users will get used to Alexa platform as well as its associated devices. Moreover, once you change your name, it would stay for 60 days and that would help spread this Alexa marketing campaign for 2 months. That’s a big gain for Amazon to take over the market for virtual assistant devices, especially when their main opponent Google is having trouble with the Aussie Gov.

      • about two weeks ago - unsure what is going to happen

        I have 7/6 notifications on the two accounts on which the Dots were won on - but I can't log in to either. I accidentally didn't let Chrome save the passwords (and I don't have access to the throwaway emails anymore) - so I can't see the messages. Worst case scenario I get nothing - which is fine - but my curiosity is infuriating me. I want to know now…

        • +1

          I checked the FB notifications but nothing's related to this offer. I remembered they sent an email on 16 Feb for my address since I couldn't reply to the bot when I won the Echo Dot. Shall take around a month for preparing stocks or validation,… as they won't prioritize this offer over normal selling. Just wait and see but I believe it will reach us with no problem, unless you have to pick up from AusPost and don't have any ID with some random 'Alexis Sanchez' name on it to match FB info.

          • @Newgod: I haven't gotten any emails because I used throwaway emails, hence my being unsure. I did respond to the bot with my address, but having notifications could mean that they asked for my address in a different form - and I don't have access to the emails either (should've used a recurring throwaway instead). I'll see what happens.

            • +1

              @MaccasAU: Not sure but I reckon these notifications are just friend suggestions from FB, I had that all the time with inactive account. As you have provided them address, there's no need for requesting again. It happened with me as I forgot to reply and it timed out, I couldn't continue previous convo with the bot. Glad they followed up via email for the address. Hope it will work out for all of us!

              • +1

                @Newgod: That's reassuring!

                I've got relatively high hopes, seems like most people got theirs today, and mine won't be far away hopefully (timewise it works out as I am in Regional Victoria, so shipping takes longer) - hope I have no ID issues (that would be unfortunate!).

                Good luck!

            • +1

              @MaccasAU: FYI, here's the follow-up email, in case you're curious to know:


              Hi,

              You recently won a prize playing the Alexa Anniversary trivia.

              Unfortunately the address you supplied was incomplete and we cannot post your item.

              Could you please kindly re-supply in the following format.

              STREET ADDRESS
              SUBURB
              STATE
              POSTCODE


              Amazon Alexa Team

              • @Newgod: I gave the address in that format - and the bot didn't protest, so I should be good!

                • @MaccasAU: As long as you reached the end of the convo with the bot (something likes : "do you know friends with Ale-… share with your friends"), you're good to go! I'm in Regional Vic too so if in next few weeks you have not received it, feel free to pm/reply me for an update from my end.

                • +1

                  @MaccasAU: Update: Delivered to my house today!

                  • @Newgod: Cool, I've gotten one email (one of my accounts was on a legit email) saying that they'll text me when it's sent (one of two, don't know if I will get both that I won) - looks good.

                    • @MaccasAU: Actually I've got that email today too, it's weird that they have been delivered already. Make sure you check the mailbox everyday as you might have to go to AusPost to collect if they can't drop it in the mailbox.

    Yippee, just won 3 Audible credits 🙃

  • Says already won a prize but that was on the first day. So I guess it's actually 1 per person all up not each day.

      Anyone else in your family to change their fb?

      I won the $25 Amazon GC yesterday, but my wife "Alexa McAlexaface" won an echo dot this morning.

      • I won a $25 gc on the first day and missed yesterdays round. Logged on this morning and got the message you already won a prize so p!ss off to which I did eventually.

  • I won an echo dot, it asked me for my details, i gave it my email, phone, and address but then no further message. is this was others got too? No confirmation/thank you for playing text?

    • Same here… Not sure how they are going to send it and whose name is going to be on the post. Lol

      EDIT: I have not got any emails as well as part of confirmation - has anyone else got them ?

      • Yeah no confirmation from me either.

    • No Emails yet from Amazon. Would have been better if they issued codes and we buy directly

  • Thanks skido, won an Amazon Echo Dot

    I got email asking for correct address.

    • Just wondering who sent the email and what was it asking and was this for the echo? I won an echo but haven't received any emails. Thanks

      • Likewise

        • When did you get the email and was any action required? Thanks in advance.
