Our Verdict
This comes around every month, you might only be able to do it once per lifetime – not exactly sure how it works out if you’re targeted or not. Use a credit card that earns at a high rate on Amazon purchases to get a larger discount. Currently your best bet would be the Discover it, that is earning 5% cash back (and doubled for some as well).
And again.. “Unfortunately, you are not eligible for this offer.”
I didn’t get this one, probably because I got the previous one plus I also received the ‘reload 100 and get an additional 5’ a few days ago.
On asking another person to check their account (they rarely use Amazon and who has never bought gift cards) – they didn’t get the 10 off 50 either but did have a banner with the ‘load 100 get 5’ promo.
I’ve never once been targeted for one of these promotions even though they have them on an almost monthly basis. I wonder why that is?
At least not for me.
