You need an android phone to purchase? Is it possible to just buy on PC?

 

[CrashPrime]

I managed to get some coins but have no idea how to spend them....

You read the OP. You hit the button.

 

[Quadraphonic]

If you wanna try getting this converted to regular ass amazon credit:

- CALL OR LIVE CHAT Amazon Support
- Tell them you're a loyal customer and list an item you want to buy, like, the Kindle Fire HD
- Ask extremely politely to have you Coins, MP3, Kindle, Digital Game, Ect... credit available for regular purchases
- Use credit given on thousands of Amazon items
- If they say no, thank them for their time. Maybe they'll have a change of heart, maybe they wont.

DON'T BE A FUCKING DICK ABOUT IT.

DON'T BE A FUCKING DICK ABOUT IT.

This didn't work for me, it may work for you. I'll probably wait a few months and try again.

This is a quick way to get your Amazon account some black marks and fast track it to get it banned.

Coins have a very explicit use and trying to abuse it in this way is insane.

 

[Mesoian]

Got'em.

Still don't know what else to spend them on.

I bought Cerberus, which is a thing I kind of needed. So good.

I was hoping I could get Last.FM deluxe through this, but no such luck.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

PSA: After you do all this you can delete the crap apps you'll never use from your account at the Amazon full desktop site.

Um, what? Amazon has refunded my purchases/given me credit for complaints all the time. It's really not a big deal to call in once and try.

I did all mine on the pc.

It's less of a headache too. When you use the app, you have to actually initiate the download for it to count.. Whereas, on PC all you have to do is one click.

 

[NealMcCauley]

Max Payne Mobile is also pretty fun. The auto aim makes it kind of a cakewalk though.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Make sure you guys save some coins for Waywards Souls aka Demon's/Dark Souls on mobile.

 

[zewone]

After buying GTA, I was only left with 800 coins, I'm not sure what happened to the 2000, but free is free.

Thanks.

EDIT: Oh wait, after posting it looks like the other 2000 showed up so I'm at 2,800.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking. Not to mention a big company like Amazon almost certainly gets asked about that stuff from customers who don't fully understand what coins are for and how they're used, with or without this promotion.

 

[xclaw]

You read the OP. You hit the button.

Ugh, not appearing for me. Must be a US only ".com" thing, my Canadian geo location is probably making it change.

 

[randomkid]

That was an extremely painless way to get $24.82, good lookin out OP!

 

[FalsettoVibe]

You can only spend on apps correct?

 

[Interfectum]

It won't let me buy on PC. It takes me to a set of instructions on how to do it on Android.

 

[crazepharmacist]

Same, was just going to say this. I don't think it's possible to buy on PC.

 

[vg260]

If you wanna try getting this converted to regular ass amazon credit:

Don't be a jerk and do this. It's already a good credit promo you're getting for nothing. If you have abided by the rules, you've already gotten $30+ in app credit plus some free apps. Use it as intended and trying to game the system is only going to help kill offers like this.

 

[Gogo_ZvC]

Just tried as a Canadian, then read this:

Limited to U.S. The Program is currently only available to customers located in the United States. You may not purchase, receive, or redeem Coins if you are outside the United States. "United States" refers to the 48 contiguous states, the District of Columbia, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Makes sense, but I'm still sad about it

 

[splattered]

This is awesome, thanks!

So I'm guessing last weeks offers no longer work? Or can I revisit that thread and get the 1000 coins?

Anyone have a link to the previous week version?

 

[vatstep]

Same, was just going to say this. I don't think it's possible to buy on PC.

I think you need to have an Android device linked to your account. I don't have my phone linked, but I have a Fire TV and I can purchase apps from my PC.

 

[rjinaz]

Same, was just going to say this. I don't think it's possible to buy on PC.

You have to link a phone to your account first, so yeah, you need to have a phone or smart device. Then after, you can purchase on the PC.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Ha, I should had done this instead of getting Final Fantasy IV.

Ugh, not appearing for me. Must be a US only ".com" thing, my Canadian geo location is probably making it change.

If you have this problem either disable 1-click settings or delete the credit card associated with the account. It should appear. I'm in South America so it does work.

 

[Busaiku]

I got Grand Theft Auto San Andreas on PC.
Don't have a Kindle, so that was the only way I could buy it.

 

[npa189]

Worked for me! Thanks. I really don't even know what to get with the coins, I've played most of these on their respective platforms, or when I still had iOS devices. I wish San Andreas would work on my LG tablet.

You can do it, but need to make an account based in the US.

While I can't buy shit in the webpage (I just switched my MX address and put a US forwarding service address, which works with the App, but not the webpage seemingly) I can in the Appstore. Just bought Sonic 2. Wanted FFIV, but ah well...

 

[vg260]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking. Not to mention a big company like Amazon almost certainly gets asked about that stuff from customers who don't fully understand what coins are for and how they're used, with or without this promotion.

But you do and you understand. So you shouldn't do it. Big company or not it's trying to take advantage of the good will of certain reps, who are likely to get reprimanded for this, Enough people do this, and the trend will get noticed.

 

[Interfectum]

I think you need to have an Android device linked to your account. I don't have my phone linked, but I have a Fire TV and I can purchase apps from my PC.

Bah, I'm getting a FireTV as soon as they add HBO Go (replacing Roku). Wanted to get some Amazon points to spend later. :/

 

[mackattk]

You can also get $10 in appstore credit with a purchase of a select gift card.

 

[AlexMogil]

The Bard's Tale at $2.99:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008S3EJSU/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Gets you 90 coins.

How do you do this? Just download the app on your phone or do you need to do something else?

Since the option isn't showing up for me

 

[Marcel]

Or you can try once and possibly get $20. There's really no actual harm and I seriously doubt you can prove to me that this is going to actually do anything negative to anyone, let alone the multi-billion dollar corporation Amazon.

 

[AlexMogil]

How do you do this? Just download the app on your phone or do you need to do something else?

You have to side load it:

Download the app, sign in and it will do it.

Already have the app in my phone, linked to my account. The problem comes from the web page not seeing this, thus can't "purchase" anything from there

 

[Vyrance]

Awesome, all that free stuff. Thanks man

 

[CrashPrime]

How do you do this? Just download the app on your phone or do you need to do something else?

Just download the app and sign-in on any android device.

Bah, I'm getting a FireTV as soon as they add HBO Go (replacing Roku). Wanted to get some Amazon points to spend later. :/

http://www.bluestacks.com is the answer you are looking for.

Obviously phone/smart device is going to be easier. Just download the app. If you don't have one handy, just load up bluestacks, install the amazon app, and sign-in.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Try getting a free app on your phone first.

 

[_hekk05]

Just did the entire thing, bought 2 raymans and plex and minecraft. 1535 coins left, recommend me stuff.

For those not in the US, just use Hola unblocker and you'll be able to do this anywhere.

 

[wildfire]

Amazon is just giving out coins left and right these days.

I'm still waiting for X-Com to hit the Amazon App store...

I'm waiting on Xcom as well. I hope it doesn't reach FF4 price.

 

[BulletSmoke]

Thanks OP! Did it just to get Plex

Final Fantasy IV if it interest you. So you don't have to pay 15.99 usd lol

 

[JesseZao]

Still quite the large opportunity cost.

 

[Dicer]

Clicked everything in the op and ordered them, only have 400 coins, what gives?

Edit: nvm

 

[Marche90]

Try getting a free app on your phone first.

Already have. Hell, I've already purchased an app with the coins and it went without a hitch:

But...

 

[mackattk]

It takes a minute or two for all the coins to show up. give it some time.

But...

Try going here:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/your-account/myapps/yourdevices/ref=mas_ya_dv

See if you have any devices, if not, on the left sidebar, look for the "add a device" panel and put in your phone number or email. See if that helps.

 

[Snaku]

I would get the Final Fantasy games if they were Fire TV compatible.

 

[Vilam]

So, I got GTA:SA last week... the Amazon page for it doesn't seem to recognize this though, it offers me the choice of buying it for 6.99 or using my 699 coins. Is it a trap to try and get me to blow coins on it even though I already got it and the coins from it last week, or will it actually go through?

 

[CrashPrime]

Already have. Hell, I've already purchased an app with the coins and it went without a hitch:

But...

I would do 1 of 3 things:

1) Sign out of both Amazon.com and your Amazon App Store, then back into both.

2) Load/sign into the Amazon App Store on another device.

3) Use bluestacks to try and sign into the Amazon App Store.

 

[rjinaz]

And you are in the US right, using an US account?

 

[ZetaEpyon]

Awesome, worked flawlessly and took like two minutes.

I already had Plex from Amazon, so I can't get that bonus, but still great!
