Time to call Amazon again to see where they came from. After a nice friendly chat with the rep, I found out that these 300 coins are part of a different campaign that has nothing to do with the 500 coin promo. She couldn't find the promo, so she sent out word about it to see if another rep knew the details. She said she'd send me an email once she found out.

Well, I haven't received 300 extra coins.

Perhaps they were credited in association with purchase of a Fire (which I don't have)? I'll be interested to know what CS's email says.

This could be one of those targeted promos where only certain customers qualify. Any way, I'll post details when I find out what it's for.

I just got an E-mail about the 300 coin promo, here's the details:

Quote:

Dear Manabi, As a thank you for your recent interest in Video Games, here's 300 Amazon Coins ($3 value) to spend on apps, games, and in-app items. Did you know there's an easier way to shop for apps? Simply open the Amazon app on your Android phone and click on Apps & Games from the left navigation, where you'll also find your Coins balance.

The learn more link just goes to the main app store page.

Not sure how they're deciding to target it, but I would think looking at games in the app store would count. (I haven't looked at any PC videogames any time recently.)

Edit: Also, since I know the 300 coins were from this and not the other promo, I just put in a ticket with Amazon support about the other.

Wonder if I'll get the email. At least we now know why we got the coins.

I guess Amazon doesn't love me I didn't get 300 coins.

They love you more than me - I didn't even get the 500 for watching the video. Amazon sent me this after I sent them a comment from their 'Did I solve your problem' email.

This after I told them that the only reason I tried to purchase coins with a credit is because Amazon CS directed me to do that and Amazon CS gave me the credit for the sole purpose of buying coins.

Call them on the phone right now you should get someone who knows what you mean. It's still business hours. Tell them instead of a $5 credit you really want the 500 coins. I think talking to them is best no more typing and misunderstanding.

Have the promo page open so you can read it to them.

Yeah, I tried via E-mail too and I have no clue what they've actually done, they said this:

So, as a remedy of the situation I'm issuing you the promotional balance of $5 to your account so that you can purchase 500 Amazon coins from our store and enjoy the services.

But I can't find it. It's not under gift card balance, it's not showing as an app store credit either. Not showing up as mp3, software/video games, instant video credits even (trying to check everything). I may just buy the coins and then bug them for a refund if it charges me. Will have the proper end result that way at least and the coins won't expire.

They refunded me for the charge to my credit card and also took the coins I bought back so I wouldn't try that route.

That Rept is clueless try the phone you can't purchase coins with promo credits.

Let them know that.

At this point I might tell them I don't want their f#@@ing coins anymore.

I think email and chat support are being outsource 80% of the time. It's best to call during business hours on a weekday to get someone who is in the U.S.

I've always used chat before and never had any problems.
