Why do I have a $5 Amazon MP3 credit?

Oct 1, 2012 4:37 AM

I've done lots of things to get Amazon mp3 credits in the past. Between free app promotions, delayed shipping, and Amazon Local deals,I'm always aware of what I'm doing, and when I'm getting a credit for it. But I just checked, and I have a $5 credit I didn't do anything purposefully to receive. The last credit promotion I'm aware of was the Coinstar one, and I definitely didn't do that. I've bought a few things recently (Flight of the Concords, David Tennant years of Doctor Who), but had no emails about some potential wrongdoing on Amazon's part that would result in me getting a credit.

I'm sort of afraid to use it. I've had instances before where the credit indicator was incorrect, and I was charged. I want to make sure it's real before spending it.

Does anybody else have one? Do you know why?

I don't have one. Amazon gives $1 credits for buying some products. Maybe you bought several and didn't notice the line about the credit. It's easy to ignore, I think it says something about rewards not credits.

Did you join Scott Shared Values on 9/6/12? I couldn't remember who had the promotion so I went to SlickDeals and looked it up. Everybody and their brother signed up for that one.

Edit: I have a Deal Alert set up for Amazon MP3 credits and that's the only one for $5.00.

There was one recently for a facebook like

There's also the Unilever care package that gets you $5 credit, but that one's pretty well advertised.

I suggest just contacting Amazon, asking why you have it/ if its a mistake.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
