Our Verdict
Working on some accounts, not others. Should be easy to just let a video included with Prime run in the background and then you get the $5 video credit toward paid videos.
Hat tip to readers Amy and mothman69
How much minimum time need to watch prime video for 5 credit?
“Should be easy to just let a video included with Prime run in the background and then you get the $5 video credit toward paid videos.”
Did just that. Took a day for an email with the credit to show.
prime video page loads. no indication of any kind of offer (eligible or not). No language at all really.
Same here.
Your offer is activated! After watching a video included with Prime, you can earn a $5 credit which can be used to rent or buy movies and TV shows from Prime Video.
Page loads, but does not reflect the offer banner nor language you mention. Just gives me normal page when your ink is used.
Gives me the Epix offer I tweeted you. I am running a Prime TV show included in Prime as you directed. Praying it works.
I assume this means I’m not targeted, but I normally get a “you aren’t eligible” message of some type, but with this link it takes me to a blank page
Yeah, blank page means not eligible. I got blank page on one account and got it to load on another account.
Page doesn’t even load for me.
