Purchased coins are good forever. Which is what I would have had.

That's true. Do you know when your next round of coins will expire? I have until May 2015.

And right now G5 is having a "Kindle Fire Sale" with 16 of their full Android games on sale at the Amazon App Store for $0.99/ea. Oct. 1-10. Details and links at http://www.g5e.com/sale
Sure thing! Sadly I have almost every game on that list, either bought on sale or as a freebie.

I haven't tried it yet, but I *think* this is for phones only - not tablets. Amazon does have different apps for phones and tablets.
Thank you! I'm trying to watch something I had in my library, a behind-the-scenes thing about "The King's Speech." My poor, poor crappy phone. I have one of those pay-as-you go deals. I got a warning about poor streaming quality. Hope the minute I got to watch before the app crashed counted. lol

Promo credits don't usually. No idea about a credit provided by CS.

It'll be less soon, I'm going to buy most of those G5 games on sale for my mom, but was waiting till I got the 500 coin credit sorted out. Hard to track if it's come through if I'm spending a bunch at the same time.

...I would've had 5196, except I recently spent 546 on a bird app - iBird Pro 2.

Same here. The customer service rep (866-749-7771 in the U.S.) credited my account with the 500 free coins right away. Now I have 4,043 coins, and most need to be spent by May 2015.

I know coins work for in app purchases in games, does anyone know if they work for purchases in the ComiXology app?

I'm not sure about the ComiXology app, but I tried it with both the Kindle and Amazon mp3 apps and it didn't work. I even called Customer Support and couldn't get them to understand that I was trying an "in-app" purchase from one of their apps.

Well, I seem to have gotten 300 coins added to my account. Not sure if that's the promo and I somehow spent exactly 200 coins I don't remember, or what. I'm probably not going to contact support about it since it's so close.

Well now I'm confused. I got the 500 coins on 10/3. Yesterday (10/8) I got an email from Amazon telling me that I got the 500 coins. Today when I looked, I saw that I had another 300 coins. I have no idea where they came from because I haven't bought anything on Amazon for the past several days (except for a few free apps, songs, and ebooks).

I *did* first watch a short movie extra after I first posted about this latest promotion. When the coins didn't show up quickly, I played a full TV episode to be sure. Since some people got 500 coins for watching short videos I don't see how it would have made a difference, but for those of you who got 300 coins you might try playing something longer and see if you get 500 more coins.

I decided to check my account; and guess what? I have 300 mystery coins too. I only played one video to qualify for my coins. It was a half hour "I Love Lucy" episode. When the coins didn't arrive by the 5th, I placed a call to Amazon to get them.

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.
