Can you still get the Amazon Welcome box for purchasing at least $10 from the registry? I read a post recently for that, but wasn’t sure if you has to be a Prime member.
Yes you can! View this post for step-by-step instructions 🙂 https://hip2save.com/2016/06/23/amazon-baby-registry-perks-free-welcome-box-20-off-all-diaper-subscriptions-more/
No…I bought something from mine and I could not get the baby box because I don’t have prime…
When I registered at Babies R Us, I was told they take Bed Bath & Beyond coupons, but only the % off ones. Not sure if this the same for all stores or just the ones with a Buy Buy Baby in their market.
Most of them only take Buy Buy Baby coupons(% and $ off, hard copy only). If they take Bed Bath coupon its more of a manager decision.
I recently registered with Amazon and followed all the steps, and the box is currently unavailable. It states, “We don’t know when or if this item will be back in stock.” 🙁
I just ordered my amazon baby box! Should arrive on Friday!
You forgot Publix! If you have a Publix near you they have a great baby program and they will send you coupons for deep discounts and sometimes free things for your baby.
You have to be a prime member, complete their baby registry and purchase $10 from the items in your registry. After you receive the item you purchased you can then go back into the registry and there should be a link to claim your welcome box. The box then arrives very shortly thereafter like in a day or two. That is how it worked for me 🙂
