This post contains affiliate links. OzBargain might earn commissions when you click through and make purchases. Please see this page for more information.

So it's pretty much, free money.
I am not sure if this is targeted, because I have searched for this on google. I haven't received an email regarding this promotion and it says I am eligible.

You will have until 23 May 2023 to earn your code by listening to a full podcast episode on Amazon Music.
The code will be emailed to you within 7 days of your first stream and can be redeemed within 30 days of receipt against an eligible purchase of £20 or more.

*I am guessing they mean when you spend $20 or more

Terms and conditions
• Eligible Amazon Music customers who complete a podcast stream on Amazon Music between 10.00am on 2 May 2023 and 11.59pm on 23rd May 2023 will receive a $5 promotional code to redeem against a future qualified purchase on Amazon.com.au (the “Offer”).

    Targeted unfortunately

    • Are you sure? Because I personally haven't received an email regarding this promo. And it says I am eligible.

      • +1

        I am not eligible

      • This offer just randomly popped up on a screen when I was browsing last night. I took a screenshot of the start but the T&Cs weren't really on there. After I started I wanted to post but yeah, couldn't find any info anywhere. Went looking for an email, offer message in my account, nothing. Was very wierd.

        First time I've been targeted. Used to have a paid Amazon Music account, maybe that's a factor?

        • Not sure how they target people. I have recently got a 3 month free Amazon Prime. And I am targeted for this offer.

          • +1

            @Scrooge McDeal: I've been a Prime member for a few years. Maybe it's just random. The offer pops up on a few websites. A few people of the eligible people take up the offer. Cheap advertising about their podcast service? I've never thought about listening to podcasts on Amazon until now (not that I really listen to them anywhere else)

          • +3

            @Scrooge McDeal: I've been a Prime member since it started and I'm not eligible so it's clearly targeted.

            • @cryptowiz: Yeah, it's just strange that Amazon didn't send any communication regarding this promo.

    • Maybe it’s just because you don’t have Amazon prime?

      • I have Amazon prime but no email regarding this promo. Is this normal for Amazon?

        • I don’t have an email either but I do have prime and it says I’m eligible.

      • I got this on a spare account without prime

    Discriminated offer

  • +19

    "Sorry, you are not eligible for the below offer." -Every targeted offer, ever.

    • +2

      I 2nd this….

  • +1

    I signed into my Prime account and it says I'm not eligible

  • +4

    So it's pretty much, free money.

    Such a thing does not exist. We always end up paying somehow in the end.

    • In my circumstance it's pretty much free money; I just listened to my normal daily podcast update that I normally listen to on Spotify shrugs

  • Also not eligible.

  • +4

    because I have searched for this on google

    Only after you saw it on HUKD

  • +1

    I did this last night. I was trying to post but I couldn't find the T&Cs after I clicked the "start" button. Don't know if it actually works but I just made sure I started and finished a podcast anyway.

  • +3

    Yay, finally eligible. I have not used Amazon music for over a year- could this be the reason?

    • Not sure im finally eligable for an offer too. Thank you op would have had no idea this offer existed.

    • "This Offer is only available to customers with an Amazon Music account (excludes free trials)."

  • Neither prime account was targeted, never used Amazon music either so not sure about what makes someone eligible

  • +10

    Anyone have a link for the shortest podcast?

    • Now that's a question that I would like the answer too 🙂

      • i guess you could listen to a 2 minute trailer and hope that counts

        • For $5 I’ll give the word hope a chance.

        • +9

          I listened to Formula Why 2 minute podcast

          • +1

            @rosebank: Same, chucked it on at 5% volume during this morning's school run. Dont care to listen to it but done!

            • +1

              @Tougherburger: I'm playing the following pod on mute, while watching BOS v PHI game 2, just in case

          • +1

            @rosebank: Thanks! It was also kind of Amazon to put it right at the top of the homepage for me. Task done. Now for my $5!

    • +1

      Just start something, mute that tab and come back later.

    • +1

      I played the trailer to Serial, like 3 minutes long :P

      Not sure if it counts, don't know if we get a notification or email anywhere.

    • +12

      I recommend listening to The Shortest Podcasts podcast. Each episode goes for 4 hours where they discuss what podcasts may be the shortest. I’m 6 episodes in but they’re still yet to decide which podcast is the shortest. Hopefully I find out in episode 7. Will let you know🤞

    • I listened to Formula Why and I'm not sure if it worked. I don't see any podcasts listed under https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/primecentral.

      Maybe there's a delay or podcasts aren't shown there. I know games aren't shown.

    • Dateline NBC - Introducing Dateline NBC - 20 seconds

  • +1

    Seems I am eligible but didn’t receive any email or app notification either.

    Presumably you don’t actually have to “listen” to a podcast, just play one in full and have it on mute if you want. Unless Alexa gives you a test afterwards…?

  • What is 'a Podcast in full'? An episode? A whole series? I listened to a 30 second promo podcast, does that count?

    • +2

      You will have until 23 May 2023 to earn your code by listening to a full podcast episode on Amazon Music.

  • says that i'm eligible but

    The code will be emailed to you within 7 days of your first stream and can be redeemed within 30 days of receipt against an eligible purchase of £20 or more

    • +1

      Yes that must be a typo error from Amazon.
      In the terms and conditions it says:

      If you qualify for the Offer, the promo code of $5 will be sent to you via email within 7 days from your first podcast stream on Amazon Music, and you can use it immediately for your next qualified purchase with a value of over $20 or more ("Minimum Purchase").

    So if a podcast goes for say 2 hours….your time is worth $2.50 an hour?

    • +7

      It’s not like they quiz you at the end to make sure you were listening lol

    • +1

      my goldfish is a big podcast fan

    • Ahh.. pick a shorter podcast? Or one that you would normally listen to?

  • Wasn’t targeted :/

  • Targeted for once.

  • +1

    Looks like I am eligible. Comes up on the Amazon AU homepage as a scrolling item at the top.

    Prime member, and I had subscribed to Amazon music in the past (and thus had downloaded the app), but not presently subscribed (no idea if that has anything to do with eligibility or not).

  • Yep I'm eligible but wasn't sent any email. Yes the offer comes up on the Amazon AU homepage as a scrolling item at the top. Thanks OP

    • +1

      Yep I'm eligible but wasn't sent any email.

      Same

  • Thanks mate, finally got a targeted deal. I have Youtube Premium but Amazon Music is actually not that bad, and they do have podcasts that are exclusive, or play earlier than on other platforms. And I also found out about Amazon Games a week ago where they give you free games. Prime is worth it even with the $20 increase imo, even without music, games and video and twitch (that I don't use)

  • Not free money, you're selling your time for a few dollars

    • +2

      Just start it and turn off your speaker.

      • just turn the podcast volume off so you can still listen to other stuff

    • +2

      Probably took you longer to write the comment than it does to click the few buttons to do the promo.

  • +1

    Seems I am eligible but didn’t receive any email or app notification either. but got nothing after listening! how do I know I completed requirements?

    • +1

      but got nothing after listening!

      Read please "The code will be emailed to you within 7 days of your first stream"

      • +2

        Got that, but like a message that says you completed the task or sth!

        • If you didn't receive it after 7 days, just chat with their support.

          • @superforever: Gotcha, thanks

          • @superforever: If I get it I get it, if not, no loss really. Not like I did anything really. Took a total of like 10 clicks.

  • I'm not eligible (don't have Prime) and I got the email. Wonder how Amazon chose their targets?

  • +2

    Last time I was eligible for the Music one (and this one too), played more than 3 full songs and didnt get the reward….

    But like an idiot, I shall try again!?…. 🤦‍♂️

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/715814

  • So if I'm getting this right . You have to pay for Amazon music to get targeted for a $5 promo ?
    How in the hell can you make free dough lol ?

    • +1

      . You have to pay for Amazon music to get targeted for a $5 promo ?

      I don't have paid amazon music

  • I got this. Just have the normal Prime subscription. Not sure what Podcast $5 is enough to have to listen too though.

  • I pay for prime on a couple accounts and not eligible :(

    • Out of curiousity, why are you paying for multiple accounts? Is this for benefits other than deliveries e.g Prime Music, Prime Video, Amazon Gaming etc?

      I share 1 account with 3 households, we just change the delivery address depending on who orders.

  • Im eligible but when i go to listen now and sign in it directs me to amazon uk….

  • Thanks OP
    Targeted but didn't get email
    Listening to this podcast under Comedy - The Cult of The Kardashians (worth US$2 billion)

    Edit: Got the email now, after activating the offer seen here

  • Thanks OP.

  • You will have until 23 May 2023 to earn your code by listening to a full podcast episode on Amazon Music.
    The code will be emailed to you within 7 days of your first stream and can be redeemed within 30 days of receipt against an eligible purchase of £20 or more.

    So that means I have to spend 20 English pounds on the amazonUK website? No deal

  • -2

    should be for "Eligible Amazon Music customers" who registered through an Echo device before?

    and it's not free, it's $5 off a min $20 order - to be clear

    • I don't have Echo

  • So why are all these crowds pushing podcasts so much, is it just to try to get people to use their platform and gain incidental revenue that way, or is it ads played within the podcasts? I've never been a podcast person so I don't really get it.

  • The podcast I listened to this morning didn't track. Not in my history so probably won't get $5. Now listening to another podcast (The Scary New Research on Sugar & How They Made You Addicted To It). Hope this will track. Probably explains why some mentioned they didn't get the $5 before.

    • When you said didn't track, how did you know didn't track?

      • On the history page, shows 0 podcast.
        I watched one movie and it shows 1.
