Update 02/21/18: Offer is back. Still YMMV but worth trying if you weren’t targeted last time.

Our Verdict
Feel free to share any good books around the $5 price point and I’ll add them to the post. Obviously a good deal if you’re targeted and want a Kindle book or two.
I think the deal is linked to Prime members.
Got a kindle? Yes, I have four kindles but this never worked for me, sad…
Ha! Same here. Sad…
This offer requires downloading the Kindle app on a phone/tablet, it doesn’t care how many physical Kindles you already have. 😉
Worked for me
Thanks – I got it and used it successfully. $5 promotional discount showed up in confirmation Email.
I got the credit. First solo novel by a friend of mine is available for $3.99 and I’m sure she would appreciate you using your credit to check out her work for free!

It worked for me. I found a couple of interesting trivia books with good reviews that came to just under $5 total (“Now I Know: The Revealing Stories Behind the World’s Most Interesting Facts” & “Bad Days in History: A Gleefully Grim Chronicle of Misfortune, Mayhem, and Misery for Every Day of the Year”)
Worked on one of four accounts (two family, neither qualified, two “backup” accounts).
Worked me as well. Thanks!
Now, which book to get? 🤔
Got it on my primary Prime account, but not the other adult family account.
Didn’t work for me. Thanks anyway.
