      Only individuals receiving this exclusive offer directly from Amazon are eligible.

      All their offers either have this Term and condition or just include USA residents

      But we have all seen before that they still work for people excluded from the offers (like the $20 wedding registry offer, and all the audible offers. The $5 off $25 offers i posted before worked for aussie accounts too even though they specified that it was only for US Residents ) so give it a go. You wont loose anything and its a useful app to shop

      • Okay EC. Have given it a go. Should know within 7 days. Thanks!

      • Same here, I tried. We'll see… .

  • Well I got the $20 wedding registry credit, so fingers crossed for this!

    • yep me too

      • Me 3. Thanks EC.

      wedding registry credit??

    • How to I check for any wedding registry credit in my Amazon account?

      • If you didn't apply for it and do the necessary steps, it won't just magically appear.

        • Yes, it did but I don't remember getting notification of the credit. Did you get an email notification?

        • @Joe888:

          Yes, got it like a month or more later, had written it off by then!

          Credit just shows as a credit on your account. Go through the purchase of an item right to the end before committing, and it will show if you have credit or not.

        • @Spackbace: I got a code actually, no credit.

  • free money, yes pleas!

      You can say that again…. almost 15 items long.

  • Got below message…
    You are not eligible for this purchase due to geographical restriction…

    Boooo, not applicable to Amazon app on Windows Phone! How else will I offset the cost of my $29 Dick Smith Lumia 530 (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/198446) ??

  • Cheers, now to find some actual bargains with free shipping to AUS

      1. Buy on Amazon, send to an address in USA.
      2. Take a holiday to USA and pick up parcel.

      Bargain!

        To maximize your savings. Swim to the USA!

      • You still have sales tax on top of your item's price when buying in the US in most of the states.

        • +2

          Swim to Oregon.

    NB. The Amazon Shopping app might appear as "Amazon for Tablets" on Android, at least for me on a Samsung Note 3 through the Amazon Store app.

  • Does this work with ebook purchases?

  • I changed my 1-click settings just in case it doesn't work before downloading and signing into US Amazon store via app

      Oh come on! Really? Can't believe you are asking that question. Stop being greedy mate.

  • Is this cash money?

  • +1

    Thanks OP.

    Hope the credit doesn't expire. I don't use Amazon that often.

  • This gift card offer applies to first time sign-in for the Amazon app only. Other Amazon apps including Kindle Reader, Amazon Local, Amazon Music and Amazon Instant Video are not eligible.

  • Maybe a noob question but is the $5 credit for use on the amazon app store, or amazon site wide (e.g. DVDs, paper books)?

  • Has anyone gotten the credit yet? If so, can you tell me how you know you have the credit?

    Like do you get an email to tell you? Or is it super obvious when you log into your amazon account?

  • Thanks OP.

    Received my $5 GC just then:

    Dear xxxxxxxx,
    Thank you for trying the Amazon app. Here is your $5 gift card for signing in to the app for the first time. Don't delete this message — you'll need the gift card claim code below.

    • Still waiting for mine, did you get yours via email intobargains?

      • +1

        Yes it came via email from Amazon.

  • No credit here.. I spoke to the live chat and got transferred between 6 agents in 1 hour and all they issued was a $5 credit which cant be used on stuff not sold and shipped by amazon. what a waste of time..

    • I think you can only use amazon credit and items sold and shipped by amazon

      • +1

        I know, but the deal was for a gift card which should work on everything.

  • No credit here either.

  • still waiting..

  • I had to speak to live chat to get it applied. They aren't keen giving it to people!

    • +1

      I had to use live chat to get the credit too. Amazon didn't handle this deal very well. At least the customer service rep was pleasant to deal with.

      • -1

        The deal was for Gift card ! not credit. With gift cards you can buy anything.

  • +1

    Quick chat to them. Directed them to the promo URL. They applied the credit to my account. Took 5 minutes

  • where is live chat? I can't find it on the website?can someone provide a link?

  • Huh? Did I just receive $20 worth of credit?

    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32946422/Photo%2026-06-2…

    • same, i have $5 on each too lol

    • but 0.00 for gift card

      • you will see the $5 at final stage of checkout

    • same here, any idea of what to buy?

  • Spent the last 1.5 hours browsing the amazon store. Can't find anything to buy for less than $5. Any suggestions?

    • Yeah you can gift it to me :)

  • Me: I participated in the Shopping App $5 sign in offer:
    http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&camp=…
    But my account has not been credited.

    Rep: I would like to inform that the promotional credit of $5 will be applied to your account once you place the order using the app and when the order ships you'll be receiving email with the information of promotional credit of $5 .

    Me: A friend of mine who told me about the offer didn't have to do this. She just got an email telling her that she had the credit applied?

    Rep: I'm sorry for the incorrect information provided. This is confirmed with our team that only when you place an order using that app in 1 click method you'll get your credit to your account. If you prefer, once you placed the order using that app, please let me know the order number.
    I'll followup with your order and after it shipped out, we will help you with the credit.

    Me: I'm not placing an order right away.
    Thanks for your time.

    Rep: Please wait.

    Me: Sure

    Rep: In this case, as the promo is not getting applied I'll issue a promotional credit of $5 to your account. I've issued a $5 promotional certificate to your account. This amount will automatically apply the next time you order an item shipped and sold by Amazon.com. You won't need a claim code.

  • Didn't receive the credit like the users above. Spoke to live chat and the assistant was able to credit my account within a matter of minutes!

  • +1

    The offer was for a gift card, most of you who spoke to live chat agents only got credit. So it wont work on stuff that isn't both sold and shipped by amazon. So its inferior to the deal they promised.

  • +1

    I also had to go through chat to get the credit applied.

    I have already used it. Many thanks EC!

  • Well I never got it /sad.

    • +1

      woot got it now from live chat

  • +1

    when does the credit expire? Still can't find anything decent to get for $5
