Update 12/9/19: Credits are now posting. You can see it in your Amazon app notifications or probably in your Amazon Messages. Readers note that while the credit finally showed up, it doesn’t seem to be working; some sort of bug, apparently. Hopefully it’ll get fixed quickly.

Our Verdict
Really a terrific offer as a lot of people are shopping today anyway, and for most of us an Amazon credit is almost as good as cash (though the coupon is limited for items shipped and sold by Amazon). Not sure if we get any affiliate credit when people click our links and get redirected to the app (:/), but otherwise ( 😉 ) this is a great deal.
FAQ
Some questions in the comments, so I’ll put here my understanding of this:
How do I know if I’m targeted?
If it shows when you are logged into your account in a web browser, then you’re targeted. You can find it in the app itself by searching for “get more”. Seems like not all accounts are targeted, but many/most are. Just click the link and login on a web browser to check if it shows for you.
Do I need to register for the offer?
There isn’t anywhere to register. If you see the offer when logged into your account, that means you’re good to go.
Is the spend requirement cumulative?
I don’t see any clear guidance from the terms. The indication from the images is that multiple items in the same order will count. My guess is even multiple smaller checkouts will count together as cumulative to reach the spend requirement, but can’t say for certain.
Why does it say a July 19th date?
If you’re looking in-app, you might see an odd ‘July 19’ date show up. This is probably an editing error from when they ran the same deal on Prime Day in July. On the web, this error does not appear.
