Our Verdict
Similar offers for Discover and American Express. Easy money if you were targeted; you can always switch back your default payment method afterward. I get “you were not eligible for this promotion,” hopefully others have more luck. We’ll add this to our Complete Guide To Saving Money On Amazon (Save 8% – 27%+).
Hat tip to reader Mitchell
I tried to redeem this $10 credit for a physical gift card but it appears they’re ineligible because physical gift cards are sold by ACI Gift Cards LLC. I tried several Amazon.com physical gift cards and Starbucks physical gift cards and none of them were eligible for this $10 credit when I went to checkout. I assume it’s because they are all sold by ACI Gift Cards LCC rather than “sold by Amazon.com” or “sold by Amazon Digital Services LLC”. I guess I’ll have to redeem this $10 credit for something other than a gift card…
Has anyone tried using a US Bank Debit card? Assuming that it doesn’t work, but thought I would ask 🙂
Setting card as default payment wasn’t enough to generate credit. Enabled 1-click for order and then credit was created.
Worked for me last month, just bought something with one-click and it was $10 off in checkout.
are debit cards eligible?
Got the email
I got the email for my Cash+ card. I added the card and setup the amazon default payment. After that I tried to buy few random products sold by amazon.com & nothing triggered the $10 credit. Will try again later.
I have been trying for a couple of days. Nothing triggered the $10 credit.
Ended up removing the card.
Although, Amazon probably now has a record of it.
Harvesting my info.
Yes, I removed the card too after trying many items.
you should add the card to amazon then use the link in the email and set it to default. I made the same mistake as your and took me a while to figure it out.
did it work for you in the end? any idea what types of items are eligible?
I was able to use the $10 credit later on below item:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RK4HST7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Maybe try some of the personal health items.
Got an email today on my Cash+. Easily redeemed my credit when paying by GC balance.
Not sure what you mean by “paying by GC balance”
If you don’t want to get any spend on the card itself(if it’s a card from your company for example), you can buy a gift card for the remaining balance after the $10 and use the promo for the rest and it will work,
Usually one can pay by amzn gc balance as you mentioned for those but I am not able to do that here. I dont know if I am doing something wrong
does the credit show on the checkout page?
Yes
Received an email for this from the US bank today. Flexperks Visa Sig card.
Subject line:
Earn $10 at Amazon with your U.S. Bank card
Offer expires: 01/29/2021
Promotional credit expires: 03/01/2021
The link in the email appears to be targeted and single-use (applied the offer, then open the same link in another browser, it says “Thanks, the credit has been already applied”).
Received the email, added my Cash+ card, and promotion was applied. The promotion is only good for items that are shipped and sold by Amazon.
I’m a US bank customer and not eligible.
