Get 500 Free Amazon Coins when you stream your first movie or TV show on your Android phone

I haven't tried it yet, but I *think* this is for phones only - not tablets. Amazon does have different apps for phones and tablets.
Thanks! I have more coins than I know what to do with already, but I'll take more free ones and figure out what to use them on later.

That's not entirely true, I (somehow) ended up with regular Amazon app + Amazon for Tablets on my Nook HD+ and while the tablet version won't play anything (says it's not available for my device), it does show the Amazon Instant Video option in the menu. (Why? Who knows.) However, the regular Amazon app will indeed play Prime eligible videos, I tried it with an episode of Firefly and it started streaming just fine. So if you get the regular Amazon app on your tablet you can play the videos.

Not sure if Amazon would count that or not though. I think I'll test it, since I have over 5000 coins already I can afford to wait a few days to get the new free ones. Now to go find something 30 minutes or less to do the test with...
