Anyone tried this? I got the first $10 immediately but I still haven’t been credited for my 2nd and 3rd in-app purchases.
Congrats - hope you get the other two.

I'm not eligible for this one and the most of the others, because I've done similar offers before. Additionally, I refuse to do any of the physical store offers, because I don't shop at any of them to begin with and it's not worth the hassle.

There are over a dozen of these free credit offers totaling around $300 in free money and all I've managed to snag were the $5 Prime Video and $5 Coinstar offers.

Ten whole dollars - I'm ecstatic

Same here, and they're not even consistent about it. I did get the $5 credit for watching an episode of a show on Amazon Prime Video, even though I've watched stuff on it before. Only thing I can think of is that this was the first time I'd ever watched one of their videos on my phone or tablet. Previously I just watched stuff on my TV using a Roku box.

Since it worked for me, be sure to check in the app on your phone/tablet (if you have one) and see if the banner for earning $5 for watching a video shows up there. I didn't get the email about receiving the credit for about 48 hours after I watched the video. It's also not limited to Prime Day, as I could have used it earlier today when ordering a power strip for dad.
Thanks for mentioning that you got the Prime Video credit--I decided to watch a program (using Roku), and I just got an e-mail telling me I got the credit.

Why? Who knows? Maybe they got complaints about limiting it to first-time users without specifying that. I don't care, I'm just happy I got the credit. This and the small business credit give me $15.

Semi-related: After several purchases at Amazon when I was not offered any incentive for no-rush shipping, today the no-rush offer was $2.

Call Amazon. I never got the credit either and had to call them. 10 minutes later, I received a $5 courtesy credit. Be prepared to read the following to them. That shows that you activated the offer.

See post 16 for details.

After clicking on the banner, this is what I got:

Your offer is activated!

You’re almost there! Watch any show or movie included with Prime and earn a $5 credit that can be used to shop on Amazon.com. You’ll receive an email with details on how to redeem your credit a few days after you watch. Happy Prime Day!

I NEVER got the banner or did anything that would activate the offer. All I did was watch a video two days ago, purely on the off chance that I'd get the five bucks.

Early Access Device Deals

Quote:
Deals, sales, and special offers on Echo & Alexa devices, Fire tablets, Fire TV, and more.

See this post - Amazon Devices - for an easier listing to see what's on sale and the prices.

Note: many of these devices have add-ons - $5 smart plug, $5 Blink Mini, FREE smart bulb, FREE 6-mo KU, FREE 6-mo Amz Music, etc. You're restricted to one device bundle per order. Don't know if you can place multiple orders to stock up on plugs and bulbs.

I buy my books from amazon and haven’t learned calbre. Is it worth trying a Kobo to play with?

I think so. The firmware is so much nicer. And you get much better eBook management.

With Calibre 4.23 and the DeDRM plugin, you can remove the DRM and convert to ePub.

Maybe download Calibre and try it out. It's not that hard, but I personally don't want to bother with it for converting files. I just use it to save books that I've paid money for (as opposed to free).

It has been downloaded for a while. I guess I’ll have to watch some YouTube videos on usage!
