1) Sign into your Amazon.com account.
2) "Buy" the following apps. All are free and reward 200 "amazon coins".
Food Network
iHeartRadio
Strawberry Shortcake
Don't Step the White Tile
Dr. Panda's Restaurant
3) At this point you should have an Amazon coin balance of 1000 (already a $10 value).
4) Buy San Andreas for 699 coins. This rewards 2000 coins.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
5) At this point you now have 1000 - 699 + 2000 = 2301 points. This is equal to $23.01 on the Amazon android app store.
Bonus) Plex is on sale for $0.99 with a 30 coin return. It is also part of a list of apps that earn a bonus of 250 coins for your first purchased. That means if you are doing this for the first time,
Plex
2301 - 99 + 30 + 250 = 2482.

Some suggestions on where to spend those free coins:
Monument Valley - Awesome puzzle game just released for Android. 399 coins.
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 - Shockingly well done port of the all time classic. 299 coins (with 150 coins returned back upon purchase).
Minecraft Pocket Edition - It's Minecraft. In your pocket. A reasonably well done port of the desktop juggernaut. A few more patches and it'll be very close to the real deal. 699 coins (with 350 coins returned back upon purchase).
Terraria - Great port. Great game. 499 coins.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - This version isn't locked to the Kindle tablets like the original, or San Andreas (which you already own and can't use unless you have a Kindle). This version had the best music and best setting in any GTA to date. Must have. 499 coins.
Jet Set Radio - Long live the dreamcast. 499 coins.
Crazy Taxi - Long live the dreamcast, pizza hut, and The Offspring. 499 coins.
And finally, the 2 games you -MUST- get because they're my favorite android games:
Rayman Jungle Run

Rayman Fiesta Run

299 coins each. A steal. They are gorgeous and challenging. Get them.
Well, hope that helped some folks get in on some sweet sweet android gaming. The platform is starting to mature as some reasonably good games keep coming out. Still not what I would call an "ideal" gaming platform, but it's certainly has its high points.

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.
-- NOTE: This works as long as you have an android device linked to your account. Just download the Amazon app store on one of your android devices and sign-in. After that you can proceed to make all of your purchases on the PC.I did all mine on the pc.You need an android phone to purchase? Is it possible to just buy on 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.

Super-duper secret pro-tip:
If anyone wants an extra $3.00, some folks might want to try this:
1) Rent this free movie for $1 MP3 credit: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ICH5OPO/?tag=neogaf0e-20
2) Buy this MP3 album for 99 cents, and you'll get a $3 app credit:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CC9JWM4/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Can be done anywhere along in the process, but if you do it before buying GTA:SA you'll be converting the "App Store Promotional Credit" into coins. I am not really sure which one is more valuable but the choice is yours!
