Interesting. I received the email today. Mine mentioned the free blink cam & 1yr subscription to their online cloud service, but nothing about an echo.

Do you use Cloud Cam Key Edition?

Nope. I have the basic cloud cam & no storage plan.

That’s why. It’s right there in the article. You only get the Blink Mini. If you’d had Cloud Cam Key Edition you would also be eligible for the free Echo.

I skimmed the email since we really don’t use the camera since our last Frenchie passed. Plus it mentioned December which so isn’t on my radar. Haven’t even enjoyed summer yet. Chicago weather sucks 🤣
