(That information changed the way I saw the three titles on offer, as it added the element of opportunity cost into the equation.)
After reading your post, which reflected an experience different from what I was told to expect, I decided to check my promotional credit balance by: - Clicking this link* (this link works, too, in the USA*) at the "Redeem Your Amazon Gift Card or Promotional Code" page, then
- Clicking the yellow Check Your Balance button, and finally
- Reviewing the following listing of my various credit balances. (Note: $17.97 is the credit for the "3 FREE Kindle Bestsellers"):

That's the page they've well hidden that I was looking for. I wasn't paying enough attention and the first book I tried was third party seller. I tried another without a "sold by" and lo and behold, my promo credit was used! So, I checked and I still have quite a bit of credit I can use (I can borrow the two books I don't have and read them that way). For those considering trying to take advantage of the same mischance, the pay per hour is pretty low if you don't get the books right away.
It looks like you got generic credit - mine is Kindle books only, but that's fine with me.
