We shared how to get a free $10 at Amazon courtesy of Mastercard. If you successfully added it to your account, you were supposed to have until January 14th, 2017 to use the credit. Unfortunately when the code expired (make sure you’re subscribed to the free alerts service we have on deals like this) people that had added it to their account but not used it were no longer able to use it. People in that situation should have just received the following e-mail from Amazon:

The E-mail
Hello,
In connection with the MasterCard 1-Click promotion, we ran a limited-supply offer of $10 off of a qualifying purchase. You were unable redeem the offer prior to it expiring due to high popularity and the limited supply of offers available. Because you are a valued cardmember, I’ve added a $10 Amazon.com promotional certificate to your account.
Your available balance appears in the payment section when you place a qualifying order for new items shipped and sold by Amazon.com. Eligible funds will be automatically applied to your qualifying order(s). This promotional balance doesn’t appear in Your Account (you’ll only see gift card balances there). To view the Terms and Conditions for using your promotional funds, go to our Help pages:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/?nodeId=201134220
We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Our Verdict
If you were able to get the offer added, enjoy the $10 credit. I suspect there is a legal reason why Amazon suddenly decided to honor the $10 credit, but regardless it’s good to see. You can always say thank you to this site for informing you of this deal by using our Amazon affiliate link, we will receive a small commission for any items you purchase.
If you missed this deal, make sure you’re signed up to get instant alerts about deals like this – there is no charge we just want to help you out.
Is there still a link to apply for it? (I thought it had expired.)
It’s too late to apply for it, this is for people who applied but didn’t use the credit.
yes it was. they stiffed me
I followed the instructions and it said that I had earned the credit but I tried just now to use it and it wasn’t there. I have a screen shot of the final page saying I had the credit. Should I call them or wait to see if I get the email.
Was the item listing sold by Amazon.com?
I was about to say “bait and switch” but good it’s been reapplied now.
Thank you guys, you are the best. Just got the email from Amazon.
Third party gift cards seem to work with the credit,but amazon gift cards not.
Awesome, just got the email.
Is there an expiration for the 10 dollar credit?
Not sure, I guess not or maybe the original January date? I didn’t get it so don’t know for sure.
No it’s a courtesy credit which never expires.
