Our Verdict

They recently offered a $10 deal, but that sold out/expired so now you can only get $5. Hopefully all readers already took advantage of the $10 offer (we tried to get it out to all readers by sending an e-mail and also posting and reposting on the site), but if not this is a nice consolation prize. Signing up for an music account is also a great way of supporting the site so we really appreciate anybody who uses our links.

A reader notes that this $5 Amazon deal stacks with the Citi deal to get free 4-5 months. I tried it and found the same.

Here’s how to go about getting both deals:

1. Use the Citi link to link that offer to your account. Read our previous post for more details on that.  Click ‘Get Started’, but do not click Start Your Free Trial on the next screen.
2. Go to this link and enter promo code MUSIC5
3. Go to this link and signup for Amazon Music Unlimited under the individual plan. You’ll see the Citi promo showing, you won’t see anything about the MUSIC1 promo showing, but it’s saved since you already input that code.
4. Now that you’re signed up, you’ll see the Citi promo information showing in your Music Unlimited account. Be sure to notate your calendar to cancel before promo ends; I’m not sure if you can cancel right away and keep the 4-5 months free.
5. You’ll get the $5 Amazon credit for regular shopping on Amazon.com within a few minutes. Credit expires at the end of October.
6. The $5 credit even works on $25 third-party physical gift cards and $25 third-party e-gift cards (e.g. Whole Foods, Uber, AirBnB, Netflix, Lowe’s) which makes it easy to use right away if you aren’t convinced you’ll make an eligible Amazon purchase before the end of October or if you’re doing the deal on a spare Amazon account which you don’t use for everyday purchases.

If you aren’t interested in the 4-5 month trial:

1. Go to this link and enter promo code MUSIC5
2. Go to this link and signup for any Amazon Music Unlimited plan.
3. You’ll get the $5 Amazon credit for regular shopping on Amazon.com within a few minutes. Credit expires at the end of October.
4. You can immediately cancel the music trial here
5. The $5 credit even works on $25 third-party physical gift cards and $25 third-party e-gift cards (e.g. Whole Foods, Uber, AirBnB, Netflix, Lowe’s) which makes it easy to use right away if you aren’t convinced you’ll make an eligible Amazon purchase before the end of October or if you’re doing the deal on a spare Amazon account which you don’t use for everyday purchases.

We really appreciate those who you use our affiliate links in this post to signup for Amazon Music. I don’t think you’d get any JetBlue points regardless since you aren’t paying anything, so it’s a win-win situation.
