Another update 7/12/22: The promotion now says Sold Out, however, some are having success when applying the promo code; we’ll have to wait and see what happens with that. Separately, those who did this deal are already getting their $12.50 credits which are valid now and continue to be valid through August 28th.
Update 7/12/22: Deal now live, just make sure the promo code applies properly as some people are having issues. Best luck seems to be by purchasing a new gift card (our affiliate link) as opposed to a reload, and to do it on the computer as opposed to the app. Tips to get it to work in this comment.

The Offer
Direct Link to offer (our affiliate link here and below)
Amazon has a special reload offer beginning on Prime Day (July 12-13) for Prime members. This deal is not yet live, it’ll begin on Prime Day:
- Beginning on July 12am PDT, Prime members get $12.50 in promotional credit with a $50 Amazon Gift Card purchase or Amazon Reload when you use promo code EGCPRIME22.
There might be a promo code to get this offer, we’ll update when it becomes available. The $12.50 promotional credit will then be valid for the weeks after Prime Day, presumably.
Our Verdict
Last year they offer two $40/$10 Amazon gift card deals, one as a lead-up and one on Prime Day itself. For now it seems like they’re only doing the Prime Day offer this time, though it’s slightly better at $50/$12.50. The $12.50 credit will likely be valid for a few weeks after Prime Day. Use your Chase Amazon Prime card for 6% back on the purchase.
So far the generic deals have been pretty good, including this deal, the $20 Prime Day credit with Proctor & Gamble, and the $10 Stampcard offer. Hopefully there’ll be a few more generic deals still.
We’ll repost this gift card deal when it goes live on the 12th – this is always the most popular deal of Prime Day. Seems like this deal might be valid for household Prime members as well, but we’ll have to wait and see as they excluded household Prime for the other two deals.

Never received the credit. Fortunately I took a screenshot. Now just need to waste 15 minutes explaining to an Amazon CSR.
I got the $12.50 promotional credit just now - I applied the promo code even though the main page says the promo is sold out so guess that was still working!
hey is anyone else seeing this on the gift card purchase page (click the affiliate link in the article above then select "egift cards")?

Prime Savings: $10.00 (restrictions apply) Here's how
but when i click here's how there aren't any details. i tried adding 1 $50 gift card and 2 $50 gift cards but nothing appeared. i can't figure out how to trigger this prime savings.
I think this may be when you buy physical items. It may have been from a previous promotion, I think for me it may have been from the stampcards.
Email came in 24 hours and 2 minutes after $50 eGC purchase: "Here's your promotional credit from your recent Amazon order". Like last year, it shows at checkout if you buy an item "sold and shipped by Amazon.com" (same GC PRIME DAY CREDIT showing under discounts at checkout, like last year).
I got an email last night at 9:49pm ET with info on the $12.50 credit. Subject: Here's your promotional credit from your recent Amazon order
I recieved the same email, but for some reason it is not applying at checkout. Sold by Amazon llc.
same here - i got the email, but can't get the credit to show up. were you able to figure it out?
Not working. Getting the message, "The promotional code you entered is not valid."
Same. 0845 EDT
timestamp checks out
I did not need to enter the code, just got the credit automatically just being a prime member, but it said that I would get it in 2 days. I also was able to use 1 Amex point to get 10% off which I had to activate
Same here. I haven't received anything yet.
Update, received the email and can see that I am able to apply it to items sold by Amazon.
Got the credit.
the $12.50 expires august 28? wtf
Too bad somehow their website proved to be dogshit for applying this promo
Somebody say dog? 🐶
yes but not the eating kind
it said sold out but after adding $50 amazon egift card and entered the promo code EGCPRIME22. I was able to see the discount being applied to the transaction. It's worth a try. It worked on 2 of my accounts.
Discount ?? do you mean you did NOT pay 50 ??
was your total 37.50 ???
it makes no sense as of this promo suppose to give you credit of 12.50 for later use ...
Hmm, I'll add a note
