Promotional (free) coins expire one year from receipt (end of month). Purchased coins never expire. Coins given out with the purchase of an app are considered promotional (free) and will expire.

The first batch of 500 free coins expire 31 May 2014. Free coins given out during subsequent promos expire 31 Oct 2014, 30 Nov 2014, 31 Dec 2014, ...etc.

2.4 Promotional Coins. All Coins that you do not pay for or receive as a gift from another customer are Promotional Coins. This includes any Coins we give you in connection with your purchase of apps or other products, your use of other Amazon services, or any other promotional activity.

2.5 Expiration Dates; Application of Coins. Purchased Coins do not expire. Promotional Coins expire on the last day of the calendar month one year after we give them to you (for example, Promotional Coins we give you on May 15 will expire on May 31 of the following year). When you make a purchase with Coins, any Promotional Coins you have will be applied first (and will be applied in the order of their expiration dates, with the earliest expiration date first), followed by your Purchased Coins.
