CamelCamelCamel.
The good thing is that you only have to do it once, and now you can take advantage of all the future Amazon freebies :)

what about the app?
Yeah that too ; )
Downloaded the app to my Galaxy Tab, installed the Amazon Appstore app (required to install this app for free), and set up the 1-click settings in my Amazon account. Then: "The Amazon Appstore for Androidf is not yet available for your region".
Looks like it isn't a deal an Aussie can easily get.
EDIT Oh. It would have been nice if the original poster had been more specific about the need to create a dummy US account and not just called it creating an account.
Saw this today and grabbed it, seems like a decent app.
No-one else is bothered about creating a false credit card number? I mean sure, you never use it, but still.
it's not much different to people using someone else's coupon code to get a deal, or quickly ordering something dirt cheap knowing it's a pricing error but hoping you get it anyway, or using a second email address to register for a special deal, etc etc.
That doesn't make the other examples you listed right either though? Well, except the pricing error which is completely fine, the error was on their end, not you doing anything dodgy yourself.
Personally I'm against using fake credit card details and address but yeah, I doubt anything will come of it.
Some people order low-priced things hoping it'll slip through unnoticed thorugh an automated system. It's the seller's mistake, but does that make it OK?
Just like how it's the seller's "mistake" for issuing generic coupon codes rather than personalized single-use ones.
Fake credit card details and addresses sounds very wrong, but when you think about it, is there actually a law that says entering in fake card numbers is illegal? They're all invalid anyway. It's not like the algorithm to generate a card number is a big secret.
At the end of the day, it only makes Amazon more money as it drives their numbers up. As I mentioned in another thread, if they really wanted to restrict it to the US only, they could very, very easily IP-restrict it like Hulu.
I don't see a problem at all in ordering something due to a pricing error. Often at the time you won't even be sure if it was an error or not. It could just be a limited clearance. The seller can still fix the price before completing the transaction so its a non issue. The coupon code too is arguably ok, the company again still reserves the right to not accept it. In those cases you havent had to actually fake or lie in order to get the deal.
As for the fake details, I haven't looked at the laws. May or may not be. I'd imagine there probably is laws regarding it however. I can't imagine you wouldn't be in trouble if you tried to pay your electricity bills or whatever using false information. I'd be fairly surprised if you werent at least breaking the sites terms of service. Again, I can't really be bothered to look since I have no interest in entering fake credentials myself and as such, won't actually neg it.
Still, I think having to lie to get the deal is against the spirit of the site, but thats just me.
ahh, that's the beauty of credit card numbers. A fake number would not be rejected if you actually tried to pay for something with it. It happens all the time when people mistype their card number or expiry date.
People are certainly breaking the site's terms of service, but they're probably doing that when using someone else's coupon code or using an overseas shipping service anyway.
But fair enough, I can certainly see why the words "fake credit card number" would raise hairs for some people. That said, using someone elses coupon code is also lying - you're pretending to be someone whom you're not. :)
Grab it yesterday evening on two SGSII, mine and the missus'. Just to be careful, the receipts and cooking shows are on video which means a lot of download. Be careful to use it with the mobile network with excessive data usage.
Hi, can you please let me know how to download on SGSII? I made a fake US account on amazon but couldnt find any Amazon App on android market. I can only see Kindle on android market.
Thanks.
Ooops, didnt read the article on how to get an account and appstore app. But when I search for the Jamie's 20 minute meals, I get an option to buy for $7.99. :(
You missed it by about an hour and 10 mins. :)
:(
shit missed it!! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Tried twice with two accounts. Looks like it's back to paid thing. :(
What happened to the extra 10 minutes?
yeah, downloaded it last night. pretty good, although i think the photos/directions switching wasn't implemented the best. they should have had a small photo accompanying the directions, and double click to switch to full photo and back. (ie. same as now, but with thumbnail with the directions).
but otherwise seems pretty good.
Anybody know where to find the apk for this?
I saw it here - http://www.ipapk.info/android-apps/jamie-olivers-20-minute-m… (after 2 seconds of googling :P)
Give me some credit, I was not born yesterday. I googled too, but most have reported they are not working properly (including the link you provided), just want to see if anyone has one that actually works, and whether your phone/tab needs to be rooted to run it.
I don't think this is the forum, but I'm sure you could find the .apk on a torrent site.
As for rooting, I'm not actually sure but I think it is required to install .apks from file.
I grabbed it and am very impressed.
Works great on the Optus MyTab, and is worth the once off hassle of setting up the Amazon Android account.
