Our Verdict

Easy money if you were targeted. Seems to be working for most people/everyone, even if you didn’t get the email.

I did not get the offer sent to me, but I clicked the offer link in a mobile web browser, and the system confirmed I’m eligible. I do have the Amazon app downloaded on the phone; not sure if that helped.

The offer wording sounds like you need to first make an app purchase of any amount, and subsequently you’ll get a $10-off-$20 coupon applied to your Amazon account. In my case, I got the $10 credit showing for me at checkout, despite not having made any purchase yet; seems just clicking the offer link and saving the coupon worked to get me the $10 credit immediately available. (Note: the $10 credit does need to be used in the mobile app, not in a web browser. And only on $20+ orders which are shipped and sold by Amazon.)

  • this one worked today. It appeared to work first day but I did not complete the purchase intending to come back and then tried the following day and it would not work on the same item. Did go ahead and purchase that item through the app and without the discount. The today made another app purchase and the discount showed up unexpectedly. So appears you really need to make one purchase without the discount and then may get the 2nd one with the discount.

  • @chucksithe And this offer as well.

    • I got the email titled, "Get $20 to shop in the app". $10 credit for the first purchase does not appear. This would have been my first app purchase.

      Via chat, outsourced Amazombi customer service confirmed that I qualify for the offer.....that's where the help ended and the runaround began. They never did solve this problem.

    • They probably pulled the promotion, hence the blank page. If you activated it, you will still have it.

  • I had the offer and loaded it, but went to use it today and saw no discount at checkout. Loading up the offer landing page is now completely blank for me. Still working for others?

    • Page is blank now but if you activated your offer, it should still be there. I still have mine. Make sure you meet requirements.

  • Thanks! Bought a 4k Fire Stick that's on sale for $29.99 and paid $19.99 + tax after the $10 coupon redemption. Also, paid with Discover card to get 5% back.

  • My iPhone app tries endlessly to load anything at all using the first link; until it finally errors out with an ‘Uh-oh’ message. The search box says ‘Search in Holiday App offer 3’.

  • Thanks for the heads-up. The offer worked for me when I clicked on my mobile and ordered with my mobile.
