It looks like Amazon ended a deal for a new Echo Dot for $1 after only a few hours

• Amazon was offering the newest version of the Echo Dot for $1 to new subscribers of Amazon Music Unlimited.
• The deal lasted for a few hours, but appears to have been taken down after only a few hours: it was hugely popular while it lasted.
• Amazon Music Unlimited is currently $0.99 a month for the next three months as a separate limited-time promotion.

If you’ve ever been interested in the Amazon Echo Dot, you may have missed the best chance to get the smart home speaker for just a fraction of the cost.

Amazon was giving away the newest version of the Echo Dot for $1 to new Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers as a part of a limited-time offer. That deal appears to have ended, now, after only a few hours – not necessarily surprising, given the popularity of the deal. After all, the Echo Dot usually costs around $50.

But new subscribers to Music Unlimited appear to still be able to sign up now to get the first three months for $0.99 per month, a separate promotional price. It’s not as good as getting three months of music plus an Echo Dot for less than $5, but still, not bad.
