It's been a pain to get the promised statement credits with the Amazon Prime store card, in my experience. Sometimes you get them, others times you don't and have to contact them and complain, sometimes more than once for the same purchases. And since it typically takes 2-3 billing cycles for the cash back to show up as a statement credit (that is, when they do show up), you have to keep good track of your purchases and keep after them to get your statement credits. I've stopped using it. That's been my experience. YMMV. But lots of poor reviews about this credit card on Amazon.

Interesting. I just take my rewards in the checkout process for subsequent purchases. I never audited the points to make sure I was getting 5% back. Will start now. Thanks.

Update: I just looked at all my statements, all all points due me are reflected on the statement.

One can probably do better but that 10% back using Prime and Amazon credit card would work nice on the Th900.
This is the first version, without the detachable cables, but everything else, including sound, is the same as the MKII version.

base price of the TH900 dropped to $949 from amazon. add 10% back and nice deal.

but the gem so far is the HD600.

I didn't see the HD600 on the 10% back list.

I don't know, the deal shows up when I go through checkout and I selected it from the list. Maybe they removed it? I just checked and it seems to work from any listing though. Lists it as an eligible item for an additional 5% statement credits on top of the regular 5% when you select the Store Card to pay. Short of buying it to see, I'm afraid that's about as certain as I can be.

FWIW, I'm seeing 10% back using Amazon Prime Store Card for both the HD 600 and HD 650.

Ah ha!

I figured out why I don't see the bonus. I have an Amazon Prime Visa Signature card, not the Amazon Prime Store card. I went with the Visa card since it doubles the warranty. I didn't see any advantage to the store card, until now.

That also might explain the differences in the quality of rewards distribution.

I did the same thing! Forgot I even had a Store Card.

Here is a link to the eligible headphones. Quite a few Beyerdynamics and Audio-Technicas, but the gem so far is the HD600.

So I've had Prime for years and think I let my Amazon CC lapse. Are the deals only good for Amazon's own card? Or will my regular CC have same benefits.

So it looks like Prime day is coming up July 11th...

Yes, I believe the Visa Signature card give you points. I know the Prime Store Card, issued by Synchrony Bank, gives (or at least is supposed to give) a 5% cash back statement credit for all purchases sold and shipped by Amazon.com. The Prime Store Card is the one I've had issues getting the statement credits for and that's the one offering this deal of 10% back on musical instruments (including some headphones) sold and shipped by Amazon.com.

Groupon has hifiman he-560 for $700. Hifiman seems to honour warranty claims only when purchases are made from Authorized dealers. Not sure if this qualifies though.

Regarding the HE-560 at a good price. Bopo Tech, via walmart, is selling it for $399. Which Bopotech and walmart say it comes with a warranty, neither is listed on the HiFiMan web site. You can add a Walmart extended warranty plan with will cover the headphones after the 1st year for an addition 2 or 3 years. It's an odd deal, but if you are willing to take a chance, it might be a good deal.

I know one guy that purchased it, and it seems legit. Images here.

Do you happen to know, is this the new version with 2.5mm jacks? I couldn't tell from the pictures.

 

[illram]

I bought them and yes they are the new version.
