I have an old Kindle keyboard that I gave my FIL back when. AFAICT, he never used it, and when he passed, it was still in its original box, looking totally perfect. So I brought it home, but even after several overnight tries at charging, it won't turn on. I still have a couple of other working Kindle keyboards, so I don't need this one.

So I'm thinking about trading it in for the $5 gift card (better than nothing), and the 20% off a new Kindle offer - which is what I'm really interested in, to apply to a new Kindle PW (the waterproof one). But what I want to know is, does the 20% off "credit" come with an expiration date - 60 days after trade-in, or 90-days after trade-in, or something like that? I'd probably like to get the new Kindle PW as part of the Black Friday melee, so don't want the credit to expire before then.

I get that Amazon can change the rules about whether they offer the 20% credit at all, and I'm not looking for an expiration date on the offer itself, but just whether there is an expiration date once you get the 20% credit in your account..

Whew...TIA for any help...

(P.S. I did look for a prior post about this, but it was hard to get good search terms that didn't pick up gazillions of posts. Apologies if this has been asked and answered somewhere else...)
