Posted thanks https://www.doctorofcredit.com/amazon-prime-get-20-amazon-credit-when-you-backup-your-photos-with-amazon-photos/
Deal expired.
Guys, I have offers for Amazon business. Both for USA and UK, but both promotions do not work for me. Who wants to test?
Didn’t get email. Never used the feature. How do I know I’m eligible or not ?
I get these credits and i buy stuff i don’t need. Years ago, some shoe store did this and i bought 35 pair of the same shoes in a 5 year period. I wore same type of shoes for 10+ years
What Prime customer has not backed up a photo?
I never used the service. Google will handle photo backups on an Android phone.
You are way better off using HHDs for backup of anything more than a few snapshots.
HDDs are faster, safer, and a cheap one-time investment (Amazon sells a 4tb HDD for $18 – try uploading 4tb to the cloud and see what happens). Nobody can change the T&C or lose your data. No worries about copyright infringement.
Use a local HDD for fast backup and keep a spare or 2 offsite in case of wildfires or whatever.
Might as well toss Amazon a few throwaways and collect the $15 though. Maybe put the $15 toward a HDD…
How do I know if I am eligible for this offer if I didn’t receive any email?
No go for me despite a decade membership 😀
The free prime trials for $1.99 and $0.99 have disappeared in my accounts. They were there last week. It looks like they wised up on people taking advantage of those over the years.
Is this churnable? I did this back in 2020.
