Amazon likes to entice shoppers with unpredictable deals involving massive discounts and product bundles, and the latest example to show up on our radar is the pairing of the hugely popular Echo Dot with a month of Amazon Music.
The 3rd Gen Echo Dot included in this deal is normally priced at a very reasonable $50, and this latest offer drops the price to $4.99 with the concurrent purchase of a 1-month subscription to Amazon Music Unlimited for $9.99.
This brings the total package price to $14.98, which is quite possibly a record low for the Echo Dot itself. The 3rd Gen Echo Dot is typically on sale in the $40 range; this means that even with the Amazon Music subscription factored in, you're still coming out ahead.
The Amazon Music Unlimited subscription included in this deal is the "Individual" tier, which includes 70 million songs, unlimited track skipping, and no ads. Even if you decide it's not your thing, the Echo Dot is yours to keep.
Amazon hasn't indicated how long this promotion will run, but these types of deals usually stick around until their existing stock is depleted (normally within days, if not hours). While the 3rd Gen Echo Dot has been replaced by a newer model, it offers a more compact design and much of the same functionality as the spherical 4th Gen model. For now, we feel that the 3rd Gen is a much better choice given its enormous price advantage.
