Same here. Love the credit, because I seem to get the stuff almost as fast, and I can use the credits for movies!

There is more to it than that. As skinmaan wrote above, it is sometimes 3 to 5 days before an order gets boxed.

Interesting! I just bought a pair of shoes at Amazon (not a "Prime Day" deal) and was offered a $5 "No Rush" credit if I accepted the longer due date.

But, the terms of the credit have changed substantially:

Quote:
Choose FREE No-Rush Shipping and once your order ships, we’ll automatically apply a $5 promotional credit toward select Sports & Outdoors, Home Improvement, Lawn & Garden, Power & Hand Tools, and Pet Supplies items to your account. You can use this credit by logging on to Amazon.com. Find a product from the above categories that you want to purchase and we’ll automatically apply the credit at checkout. Offer redemption requires customers to be in the U.S.
I've never seen the credit offered for anything but digital purchases, before.

I saws no other announcement or explanation, so I don't know if this is a long-term change. Anyway, I didn't need any sports/outdoors goods, so I passed on it.

I just got a £3 credit for ebooks, but it was quite an expensive item. (But not big or heavy.)

Hmm... no, it seems like I get the £3 credit for anything over £3 today. Wow.

I think this is a part of the Prime Day specials, though I'm not certain.

My last digital credit was earned two days ago and still had an expiration date of 7/31. I thought that meant they were going to switch to something else soon anyway.

Pretty funny that it's "Prime Day", yet they've increased the benefit (at least for today) of not using Prime Shipping. Maybe they're trying to avoid a *whole lot* of packages due in the next two days (assuming the deals are valuable - I haven't had time to log in to Amazon yet today).

I purchased some items today (July 16), and got $3 no-rush shipping credits that can be used for MP3s, e-books, and video rentals. The credits expire August 31, 2015.
