For $100, I decided to finally get an Amz Prime Visa card; and guess what? I didn't have to call CS to get the $100. It was added to my GC balance right after I was approved.

So far, I have $110 in free money and I'm just beginning

Boo, Amazon. None of the links I checked are giving me any kind of promo; they're not even saying "not eligible."

How about a 12TB USB drive for $180 at Best Buy? Only 37% off though...

Thanks cc! That's the sort of extravagance I have in mind!

They noted my call so they'd know what to do if someone else had the same problem I did.

That's messed up. Again, Amazon isn't prepared to honor their promos without having to deal with CS each time you attempt to redeem one

BTW, they interpret "Applicable on first reload only" to mean when you first started using Amz GCs. They scanned my entire Amz GC history to see if I had ever reloaded my balance and I hadn't. I had a different interpretation and was prepared to argue the point. To me, "Applicable on first reload only" means you're only allowed to reload your card once during this promo to take advantage of the $10 bonus vs reloading your card multiple times to get multiple bonuses.

As always -- YMMV

I did this earlier and just figured they would send me a $10 code via email. I should have known better. Now it appears this "promotion" is basically dishonest and best avoided.

Call 'em up and demand your $10 bonus.

I added two more Amazon GC offers to the list of Amazon Credit & Gift Card Promos.

TechBargains

Gift Cards: Select users can earn $15 Credit with $50 Amazon.com Gift Card orders with Code: "19GIFTCARD ". If you're eligible for the offer, there will be a note on the page. This is for those who have never ordered a gift card on their account.
Gift Cards: Select Users. Amazon Gift Cards are as good as cash. They are offering a $5 Credit when you send a $50 Amazon Gift Card by Text with Code: "SMS2019" (Exp Soon). Free Shipping and No Tax. You should receive your credit within 3 days after the gift card is sent.

I realize that the longer I am a Amazon customer, the fewer of these offers are available to me as I have at one time or another already tried pretty much all their services.

I hear ya, I don't qualify for most of these offers either. Still, I give 'em a shot because YMMV kicks in every once in awhile.

Amazon's eligibility algorithms are one of the Universe's deepest secrets. The first person to crack 'em is sure to win the Nobel Prize in Economics

I did and got a $10 promo certificate but this clearly isn't working as expected. I didn't see any dates applied to the bullet concerning GC reload in the press release, so it may not be active yet.

And that would be Amazon's fault for not paying attention to detail. Since most of these offers went live yesterday, my assumption is that without any differing dates, the offer is live.

According to my calculations, it would give you enough storage for over 12,000,000 free ebooks on decluttering...

That's not very many books. Do they have larger drives?
