      I would have thought here would have been Australia site!

      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

      • squeeb on 18/06/2015 - 01:29

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

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

      • spackbace on 19/06/2015 - 14:15

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

        • BuyNow Think Later on 19/06/2015 - 14:17

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

        • spackbace on 19/06/2015 - 14:45

          @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.

        • jdf on 19/06/2015 - 16:29

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

  • lostn on 19/06/2015 - 17:33

    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)?

  • saintmagician0 on 19/06/2015 - 21:29

    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?

  • intobargains on 24/06/2015 - 17:22

    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.

  • Ryxxi on 25/06/2015 - 10:52

    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..

    • easternculture on 25/06/2015 - 14:44

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

      • Ryxxi on 27/06/2015 - 17:46

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

      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.

    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.

  • TheOneWhoKnocks on 27/06/2015 - 11:57

    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.
