    Works, got the card and the benefit/promo credit in about five minutes. Thanks TA. For the frequent questions:

    • Either click on the Apply Code button in the link or enter the code as a promo code on checkout. You can't do both and if you've already clicked Apply Code, you will get an error if you try to put in the promo code at checkout. It will still work though if you've actually clicked Apply Code.

    • Similarly if you put in the promo code at checkout then leave the page and try again, you will get an error. Presumably all it does is flag your account as being part of the promotion and can only do this once.

    • You should in theory get the code at the same time as the gift card, but allow two days max. Remember that it is not gift card credit, it is promo credit so it won't show on your balance. It will just be applied as a credit when checking out on eligible items.

      2 things to add from my exp:

      • The credit email might not come at the same time as gift card, was around 10mins apart for me
      • The promo credit will automatically apply in the next Amazon purchase, but might be ineligible for any cashback (CR / SB), so for those cashback purchases remember to uncheck the promo credit during check out

    Amazon giftcard promo code is always confusing
    has to click "Apply Code" but when manually putting the code in checkout it throws error

    • littlesoldier on 05/07/2022 - 00:23

      Just received the email of $5 promotional credit being applied to my account
      As long as the "Apply Code" button has been clicked, the promo should be opt-in

    • ATangk on 05/07/2022 - 00:44

      If you click apply code, the code is already entered thus it will throw an error.

      Apply code will activate promo. Entering promo code is simply redundant thus the error. I clicked apply code and purchased and got an email about the $5 credit

      • prinnyL4Deals on 05/07/2022 - 01:13

        thanks! apply code works for me

      Confirm apply code will result in an email post purchase confirming bonus. Manual Input of code not required

    • ATangk on 05/07/2022 - 00:51
      +7

      For the avoidance of doubt, after you click "Apply Code", you need to see "Prime GC Promotion" under the checkout to know that it has worked. You don't need to enter the code in manually.

      See:
      https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/109323/96828/prime_gc_…

      • JeBs on 05/07/2022 - 02:08

        The “Prime GC Promotion” line never appears for me at checkout, despite the website telling me the offer had already been applied after I clicked the Apply button.

      • cmyk on 05/07/2022 - 07:42

        Not 100% correct as I did not have that line but received the credit

        • ATangk on 05/07/2022 - 09:12

          This is for desktop purchases.

      • htc on 05/07/2022 - 13:30

        Many said they receive email confirming they will receive the credit after 15 minutes. On the ad, it says will receive the credit after 2 days.

        • ATangk on 05/07/2022 - 15:05

          It just means up to 2 days. If it wasnt a busy period, you'd get the bonus almost immediately.

    I tried to "apply code" again and this message comes up "You Have Already Enroled For This Promotion, Start Shopping To Use It" so I am guessing if I buy $75 or more on gift card, it should work?

    FYI, Applied code on the link and in checkout when I tried manually again just in case but it said "The promotional code you have entered cannot be applied to your purchase". I went purchased anyway because it was like last time and now I got the promotional benefit email. Alll good.

    • Make it so on 05/07/2022 - 00:59

      Same issue, code stopped working after changing payment method. But when I press "apply code" now it says I already enrolled so it should be fine

    • JeBs on 05/07/2022 - 01:59

      That line is definitely not present for me, despite the site saying I’m already enrolled in the promotion.

      Your comments are confusing potential customers.

      • ATangk on 05/07/2022 - 02:06
        -1

        Then you should add the promo code in before checking out?

        • JeBs on 05/07/2022 - 02:09

          That doesn’t work - I’m told the promotional code cannot be applied to purchase.

          • ATangk on 05/07/2022 - 02:11

            @JeBs: Do you have prime?

            • JeBs on 05/07/2022 - 02:12

              @ATangk: Yes, I have Prime. Look, I’m sure Amazon will still honour it. We’ll see.

              • ATangk on 05/07/2022 - 09:11

                @JeBs: As below, mobile vs desktop difference.

          • sakurakiks on 05/07/2022 - 08:04

            @JeBs: For me, it never shows on the app, so I use the mobile website in desktop mode just to check that line is indeed there.

      • the shadow on 05/07/2022 - 08:00

        ATangk is correct though … that line appears if you either hit the "Apply code" button on the promotion landing page (in which case if you apply GIFTPRIME at checkout it will say the code cannot be applied), or if you just apply the code GIFTPRIME at check-out.

        https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/71419/96829/primegcpro…

        I hit the "Apply code" button on the promotion landing page so I didn't need to enter GIFTPRIME (thus why it says the code cannot be applied) - but under "Qualifying offers" on the right, it tells me I am indeed eligible for the "Prime GC promotion".

        This is what all the confusion is about every single time a promotion like this comes up, because some people will hit BOTH the button and then try to apply the code on check-out as well. You just need to do one OR the other - and the qualifying line will appear.

        • ATangk on 05/07/2022 - 09:10

          I guess not everyone recognises the desktop format. It won’t appear the same on mobile.

    • cmyk on 05/07/2022 - 07:39

      Not in my case, the line did not appear but I still received the benefit email, anyway it's Amazon's fault for this poor experience

  • Thrifty Dan on 05/07/2022 - 01:09

    I went into the chat and they added it manually before I ordered. Then I ordered and got another $5. $10 for $75 gift card…

    • dm02 on 05/07/2022 - 10:29

      How'd you do that?

      • Thrifty Dan on 05/07/2022 - 10:31

        Well I got an error when adding the code like everyone else, didn’t buy and went into the chat. They said they add it manually. Then I bought it and got the manual added $5 plus the clipped on $5.

    Amazon US gives bonus US$12.50 for US$50 credit reload and we get A$5 for $75 Amazon gift card. With 256 votes and counting for this as a bargain, I think we're easily pleased - and that's why we get what we get.

    • Hiphopopotamus on 05/07/2022 - 02:08

      Different markets, they also pay ~3x more for Prime.

      • bean_counter on 05/07/2022 - 10:38
        +1

        Yeah but don't mislead people into thinking they pay 3x more for the same Prime package that we get. They pay a lot more but get a lot more…. We generally pay more and/or get less - and this is just another example. Amazon US providing 25% bonus on purchase of credit, Amazon Aus <7%

        • Hiphopopotamus on 05/07/2022 - 15:19
          +1

          Of course they get more, as they should for what they pay. The better deals and promos like the one you're referring to is an example of that, which was my point.

          Personally I think AU Prime is pretty amazing, I would rather pay $59/year than ~$200(139USD)/year for US Prime, even with the better deal/promos and services.
