This promotion has been around for a while offering a $10 promotional code when you purchase $50 in Amazon Gift Cards, and although there was a new offer in May that had been increased to a $15 promotional code when you purchased $75 in Amazon Gift Cards, it has been reduced back to the $10 original offer again, although some users may still be targeted to receive an offer for $15 as well.
Do you happen to know if the $10 bonus credit applies to multiple gift cards? If purchased all at same time? If purchased separately?
Hello Jim,
I believe this bonus is limited to 1 credit per customer.
If you are asking if you can purchase multiple $50 gift cards and get a $10 bonus for each gift card, then I do not believe that you can.
However, if you have any luck doing so, please let us know.
Thanks for the comment. Max
Hi it’s 1 per email add
When i follow the link, It says
Give $50 in Amazon Gift Cards, Get a $10 Promotional Credit for Yourself
Enjoy
Then it goes on to say
Enter the promotional code in the “Gift Cards & Promotional Codes” box when you check out.
Where do you get the promo code from? Or how do I get the promo code?
Hello Alex,
I think that may be referring to the $10 promotional code that you receive for completing the offer, which will be emailed to you after qualifying for the promotion.
I can’t be sure, because I can’t see the offer right now, but I don’t believe a promo code is required when you purchase the $50 in gift cards.
However, if you could copy and paste that information, maybe I could make sense of it, or possibly another reader could help us out in this situation.
Is it saying that a promo code is required to complete the offer when you purchase the $50 in gift cards?
Thanks, Max
Hi there well my name is Omer Bogan well I have a coupon a free $50 amazon card
Worked for me! it said through the link spend 45 get then 10 in an email (within 48 hours i think) and to just enter the code HOLIDAYGCS at checkout. Done! This is where I order all my daily use stuff (paper plates, plastic cups, bath tissue, deodorant, toothpaste) since they deliver to the door within a day or two for free. I am becoming an amazon addict. Its just easier when stocking up in bulk to pay wholesale prices. Thanks Max!
The promotional credit that actually got credited to my account was $6.49, not $10. Don’t know how that happened.. Is it taxed?
Anyway I called amazon, and they credited a $10 GC to my account after I complained – persistently..
I just tried the link again and now it says “Unfortunately, you are not eligible for this offer.” lol.
I’d do it for my other account, but for me its not worth it if its a complicated process to get the $10.
what i got $50 for no reason.
How do you get into the “target”. I tried with my account and was ineligible. My husband then tried and it went through.
I have two Amazon accounts. The code did not work for the first account, but it worked for the second account. If it does not work for you, try using a family member’s account or a second account.
Anyone knows if I can use the purchased gift card($50) for myself and plus get the $10 as well?
Yes, you can do that. You simply send the $50 gift card to your email address, and you’ll also get the $10 promo code.
Max,
I did the emailing it to myself yesterday, and I got this email below today. However, I do not see where I can find this $10 on my account. I only see the $50 gift card balance that I applied to my account. And, this is different because this expires whereas the gift card doesn’t.
Thank you for treating someone to an Amazon.com Gift Card.Now we’re treating you to a $10 promotional code automatically applied to your account, and good for eligible products sold by Amazon.com.
The promotional credit must be used by December 16, 2015. This offer is subject to Terms and Conditions.
Hello Nirav,
The $10 promotional credit is automatically applied to your account and can be used for products sold by Amazon.
You won’t see the $10 credit added to your “gift card” balance, but if you place a purchase for a product that is sold by Amazon, then the $10 promotional credit will be automatically applied toward that purchase.
If you add something to your cart that is sold by Amazon, then you should see the $10 credit applied.
Thanks for commenting. Max
I have never used this offer or one similar but was listed as ineligible.
It worked on 11/26/15 – Thanks!
I’m in the process of purchasing an item that is $354, so, I did a search for any deals out there. Saw this post and am buying gc’s in $50 increments, and EACH TRANSACTION is showing:
“Congratulations. Your purchase qualifies you for an Amazon.com credit. A $10 promotional code will be automatically applied to your account and emailed to you within three (3) days after shipping.”
Thank you SO MUCH!!!
I did 8 cards and rec’d confirmation when placing the order that I qualified for $10 credit. Already getting 51% savings on a desktop for our daughter’s xmas gift, but this extra $80 savings is AWESOME!
Kristen- Did you get multiple credits or just one per account?
Nice tip for each transaction! New CODE 1215GCARDS
@Kristen – did you get multiple credits – they are giving only one credit per account.
This offer says it EXPIRED on 12/6/15 not 12/31/15
This offer is still valid. It is extended till 01/31/2016
Was great, I save 10 dollars for this information. Thanks
So do these stack or not ?
I am having trouble redeeming. i got the confirmation email for using 0416GCARDS. however, how do i collecct the $15 to use. my gift card purchases were actually sent as gifts, not to myself. so, my question is, do i have to buy a $75 gift card and put it in my amazon account for the $15 to show up. I am really confused on how to get my $15. i purchased 3 gift gift cards and sent them and got my confirmation emails, but again, cannot figure out how to use my 15.
Just to clarify, on the Amazon website it states that the GC has to be purchased no later than May 14th, not May 30th. 🙂 So the deadline has passed. I have tried the code and it no longer works.
Emma

Hello John,
Thank you for the comment. I have updated the date in the above article accordingly. I apologize for the confusion, as this offer has been extended every month, and it sometimes has a different ending date within the month (not always the last day of the month), but I wasn’t aware it had only been extended to the middle of this month this time. Hopefully, it will be extended again at the end of this month, and I’ll update the date again at that time accordingly. Appreciate the help. Max
Any idea when will the September 2016 one be active?
Thank you! It worked for me today – 1016GCARDS but when I clicked the link I said to enter the October information.
Who sends the $10 card?
Amazon sends the $10 promotional card directly to your email address.
this is not true, no promotional card comes to your email. the email comes stating: Benefit Confirmation for your Order 115-3197109-4086650 and says the credit has been applied to your account. But if you go to your account there is no credit. And, if you click the link in the email for additional details it tells you ”Unfortunately, you are not eligible for this offer.” It appears to be a pure scam.
Hello Wendy,
Please note that this is not a scam and it works for many people, just as long as you see the offer when you originally click on the promotional link.
I did this a while ago when it first became available, and at that time, a $10 promotional credit was sent to your email address from what I remember, but they may now be simply applying the $10 promotional credit to your account and sending you an email to let you know that it is available.
The $10 promotional credit is not added to your Gift Card Balance, so you won’t be able to see it there.
However, when you make a qualifying purchase of items shipped and sold by Amazon, the $10 promotional credit will automatically be applied to your purchase.
I hope this helps and thank you for commenting.
Max
this is what you get if you take them up on the “deal” “Thank you for purchasing from Amazon.com. Your recent order 115-3197109-4086650 entitles you to a promotional credit which we have added to your account. This credit can be applied to your next qualifying purchase.” However, no credit can be found on the account and if you click on the link from the email which tells you this ”Unfortunately, you are not eligible for this offer.” so this is a scam not a deal
Hello Wendy,
This offer is not a scam. It has worked for countless other people before, including myself.
If Amazon has emailed you to indicate that there is a credit on your account, then it is likely available to be used toward a purchase.
When you say “no credit can be found on the account,” it is worth noting that the credit will not be applied to your Gift Card Balance, and you likely won’t be able to view the $10 promotional credit that has been applied to your account.
The $10 credit is applied to your account, but not as a Gift Card Balance. It’s just a credit waiting within your account until it can be applied toward a qualifying purchase that is sold and shipped by Amazon.
I would recommend that you try to add some qualifying items to your cart and go through the checkout process, where the $10 credit should be applied to your purchase, if you have qualifying items in your account that are sold and shipped by Amazon.
If this doesn’t work, then I would chat with Amazon to have them resolve the issue.
They sent you an email indicating that the credit is available, so they usually don’t send such emails unless there is actually a credit available, and I’m sure they’ll gladly fix the issue if a mistake was made.
The reason it says that “you are not eligible for this offer” is because you already redeemed it, so most people who have previously redeemed this offer cannot access the page anymore. I know it is weird that they sent you a link that you can’t access, but that is likely the issue there. However, just because you can’t access the page now doesn’t mean that you didn’t qualify.
I hope this helps and please let me know if you are able to see the credit when you make a purchase.
Thank you, Max
How can you get the $10 credit for three $50 gift cards to be sent to three different address?
I meant, 3 different $10 credits for 3 $50 gift cards (1 for each)….
A word of warning. On Amazon Prime Day (July 2016), I received a $10 PC for purchasing a $50 Amazon GC. All good. On December 2016, I purchased a $50 Amazon & $50 Starbucks GC with the promise of a $10 PC. Never received that PC. I chatted with Amazon Support today – they told me that there is a limit of one $10 PC offer per account. When I responded that the site copy made no mention of this, he quickly half-apologized and abruptly ended our chat. It sounds like some of you have received multiple PCs, so not sure if Amazon Support told me the truth or blew me off, but something to keep in mind.
BE AWARE of ordering something and they say …. “contact seller before ordering” . And after they want you to pay with gift cards…… it is a SCAM! I am very disappointed with Amazon. They need to have people looking out for scammers.
Know I see them everywhere. Be aware of third parties.
