    How do you check if it has been successfully applied to your account?

        Thanks!

        Also anyone know how the 'Coins' differ from 'Credit'

        • chichi on 22/09/2014 - 19:06

          I'd like to know this as well.

    So what's the code? Am not signing up on a website (Living Social) just to get a one-time code.

      Each code is unique.

    Uninstalling/reinstalling didn't give me the credit. Anyone else try this?

    • spa on 22/09/2014 - 13:57

      Never mind :)

    • jaero115 on 22/09/2014 - 14:21

      My friend already had the app installed and he just applied the code. Worked for him

  • Dominic on 22/09/2014 - 13:56

    I presume I need an Australian amazon account? I'm still using my old US one.

      I couldn't add the code from the App (presumably using the US account too?) but was able to add it through the webpage

        I kept getting the "There was a problem with redeeming your gift certificate" error.

        Tried changing the Country settings on the site. Tried the link above and tried clearing the Amazon app to re-downloading.

        • CYMA on 22/09/2014 - 16:33

          Doesn't seem to work on my US amazon account either. Same error message.

        • FabMan on 23/09/2014 - 05:24

          I'm having the same issue.

          I had the same problem. It worked after switching to AU & clearing data on the app.

  • ellave on 22/09/2014 - 14:04

    Any way to get this if you already have the app store?

    • ellave on 22/09/2014 - 14:07

      nevermind you just go via living social to grab a code works if you already have it installed

    Thanks am. Got the credit fine. If you can't figure out what to spend it on, see if your favourite apps have a donate or a paid version and support the devs!

  • jaero115 on 22/09/2014 - 14:13

    Just registered very simple and easy sign up thanks

  • dojomojo on 22/09/2014 - 14:17

    Thanks OP, got the code ok & I think I redeemed it ok in the app - is there any way to check my promotional balance?

    Edit: nvm, instructions in the deal post :)

    "There was a problem with redeeming your gift certificate"
    Is it worth migrating from Amazon US?

  • tatnal on 22/09/2014 - 14:19

    Silly question. How do I check my balance?

    • INFIDEL on 22/09/2014 - 14:33

      That is a silly question, already answered in deal description… it won't show. Enter code when ordering for $5 discount.

      • tatnal on 22/09/2014 - 16:20

        Thanks. Pays to read slower.

  • Neilzy on 22/09/2014 - 14:29

    Can the credit be used for in-app purchases?

  • Warmachine99 on 22/09/2014 - 15:06

    Has anyone been able to buy anything without the use of a credit card?

  • Ventak on 22/09/2014 - 15:15

    Hmm…I'm thinking maybe of joining Amazon AU…this is the second time that there's been free credit.

    Just Got Avia player to work with xbmc and chromecast on my Ebay bought G2 , Thanks Op

    • silverx on 22/09/2014 - 16:21

      why dont you get plex instead? is avia better?

      • shadowarrior on 22/09/2014 - 16:31

        $5.52 for Plex it seems.

      • Ronnnie on 22/09/2014 - 16:43

        Because plex won't play xbmc via chromecast.

    I applied the promo code not in the checkout, but through the tabs within the app. How am I able to use this towards my purchases? Via the app, returns an error, and via online, well, that just tells me to enter another promo code, which I don't have. Am I missing something here?

    • [Deactivated] on 25/09/2014 - 10:29

      If you've entered the promo code before the checkout, looks like you just have to go through the 1-Click purchase flow, choose a credit card and Confirm without entering another promo code. I looked at the order details and there was a promo discount applied so I didn't pay anything from my card.

      Bloody confusing but it seems to have worked.

      Item(s) Subtotal: $4.50

      Promotions: -$4.50

      Total for this order: $0.00

    If we have received promotional free 500 credit previously, are we able to use this livingsocial code? I have previously claimed free 500 credits and do not seem to be able to apply this LSocial code via the app or full website. *sadface

    • INFIDEL on 22/09/2014 - 17:09

      Separate deals. Other gives credit, this is code for purchases.
      You have tried to make an App purchase from Australian Amazon AppStore with this code?? States in deal enter code at checkout.

    • armaboo on 22/09/2014 - 18:38

      This $5 credit doesn't appear to be able to be used with the previous 500 free Amazon coins from https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/158374.

      I used the code with Minecraft ($7.88) but it didn't deduct coins and straight-away charged me $2.88 instead.

  • TheOneWhoKnocks on 22/09/2014 - 17:27

    For the people having issues redeeming, go on any app in the Australian appstore and click on 'Redeem a promotion code or view your balance' and enter the code.

  • chichi on 22/09/2014 - 20:03

    I don't understand how I can purchase using my credit. It keeps asking me to use 1-click. Am I supposed to add a credit card?

    edit: nevermind. I contacted Amazon and they told me I need a valid credit card.

  • fattony888 on 22/09/2014 - 22:01

    Can anyone confirm if the credit be used for in game purchases? or be used to purchase amazon coins?

  • youknow on 22/09/2014 - 22:20

    Ok, off topic question, but I have apps in amazon.com.au account and amazon.com account. When I install the appstore app, it will only let me view apps in my amazon.com account (under the same email address as my .au account). Is there any way I can access my Amazon AU apps using the appstore app?

    • youknow on 22/09/2014 - 23:24

      Ignore this, sorted myself out :)

      • mady123 on 23/09/2014 - 00:59

        how?

        • youknow on 23/09/2014 - 13:50

          I contacted Amazon support, who migrated my US account, and somehow (not sure if it's normal), but I managed to keep all my US "bought" content, it just sits in my AU account now.

  • krim on 22/09/2014 - 23:43

    Anyone else have app ideas to download? I used the last code for genius+ app so I could send it straight to dropbox.

    Struggling to find anything else useful <$5.

    Instruction is a bit confusing.

    Keep your $5 credit. The complexity just feels like they're trying to force Australians to the much more limited Australian store so they can charge Australia tax. It's an anti-bargain.

    I've uninstalled Amazon App store. Keeping kindle for now.

    • syousef on 23/09/2014 - 18:36

      Too late to edit. So deleted the Amazon store and the apps downloaded from there no longer work and prompt you to redownload the Amazon store. DRM: Holding your digital life to ransom. NO THANKS!!!

  • neonlight on 23/09/2014 - 14:11

    thanks OP got the $5. Unsure where to check $5 balance anyone know?

      Read the post:

      Please note: You will not be able to see your promotional code balance in the Australian Amazon Appstore on your device. To see your balance, visit the www.amazon.com.au full site, open the product page of any app or game and click ‘Redeem a Promotion Code or View Your Balance’.

      The link for ‘Redeem a Promotion Code or View Your Balance’ was a text link on the right hand side of the screen for me.
