Done. Thanks OP.

Davy · 03-09-2020 5:52pm

Thanks for topping up your Visa account.
£5 has been credited to your Amazon account by Visa and you can use it on your next purchase.
The promotional reward must be used by 15 November 2020.

I got an email saying Nov 15th rather than 30th of Sept. So I think the 30/09/20 applies to getting the voucher rather than expiry date of the £5.

Decoda · 03-09-2020 6:03pm

Hi guys, just for info, I only had £0.50 added after purchasing the £50 gift card with my visa card. Just got off chat with Amazon and they said there was a glitch and added the £5 for me......I got to keep the £0.50.....

Thanks for the heads up Op.

I had to get onto support as well but they gave me the £5 bonus no bothers

Put my fiver towards 10 Henry Hoover bags.

Happy days!

How soon after topping up did you get the 5.00 bonus or 0.50 and then having to contact support to rectify. Just topped up by £50 now and see the credit to my account but no bonus.

nephster · 03-09-2020 7:55pm

Same issue for me... got the 1% Prime Top Up bonus of 50p but didn't see the fiver so contacted CS.

Or maybe we are understanding it wrongly and how it is applied. Certainly, when you contact CS and they give you it as a credit, you don't then see it as a £5 in your Top Up section, it's a different sort of credit, that is applied when you are buying items sold by Amazon and which you see as a £5 discount when checking out...

This seems to be the best page to check if you have any promo credit:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000850093&plgroup=1#gc

Would be good to know if those who get the Prime 1% also did get the fiver in the credit section automatically. Can someone report back?

Asus X540L · 03-09-2020 8:03pm

I'm on prime but this 1% is news to me.

I clicked on the link above and I now know that my 50p is the Amazon Prime 1% plus since my chat with them they've now added a £5 credit called "Amazon Video"

That link is to a Amazon Video page - seems to be the easiest way to see credit - and hence calls it Amazon Video Credit, but it is really just normal credit.

The 1% for Prime top-ups, with more for ones above £100, is a promo that's on at the mo, finishes 14 September.

Basq · 03-09-2020 9:11pm

I didn't get the £5 after topping up..

.. CS are telling me to wait 24-48 hours before contacting them as it'll take a while for the promotion to apply.

Dr_Colossus · 03-09-2020 9:31pm

Contacted customer support chat as didn't see the £5 bonus in my credit balance. The £5 gift only comes as a promotion when purchasing something from Amazon directly, only way to see/test it is to add something such as an Echo to your cart and on checkout you'll see the £5 being applied in the promotion section along with any additional promotion such as shipping refund.
Only problem now is that is can be quite difficult to find products sold directly by Amazon, must of my purchases seem to be from 3rd party sellers using the Amazon platform which don't qualify for the promotion.

So, for those of us that contacted CS, and got a fiver put on, will we expect to see another fiver appearing as a discount as originally planned?

chasm · 03-09-2020 10:11pm

Thanks OP. Received my £5, (and 50p prime credit.) The fiver doesn't show in the gift card balance, it is applied at the checkout as a promotional credit when you purchase something that qualifies for the promotion - just purchased something there myself, sold and shipped by amazon, and the promotion was applied and then the balance was taken off my gift card balance.

machiavellianme · 03-09-2020 11:34pm

My first £50 failed to go through so I ended up trying again. Suddenly I have £101.50 (75p bonus twice but no £5 extra). Contacted support about the 5er and they gave me 2x £5 pounds (one for each top up).

lau1247 · 04-09-2020 1:44am

Any idea if there is any restriction with respect to which Visa card (Visa Credit Card or Visa Debit)?

Presumably most people used Revolut?

Thephantomsmask · 04-09-2020 9:54am

The promotional balance didn't work for me at all until I messaged them, it now shows up as £5 prime video credit on the link given above and I used it against my lavazza coffee pods.

Asus X540L · 04-09-2020 11:22am

It's automatic if you top-up more than £50 and are a Prime member, and is more for higher amounts than £100. So it you are thinking of buying a laptop at the price of say £650, you can get £13 (2%) as a Prime bonus if you top-up first by £650 rather than buying it immediately by card, PLUS a fiver off when you apply this £5 credit!

Doesn't work for me, must not have been "invited"

JohnB123456 · 04-09-2020 1:08pm

Is it supposed to take long after you top up?
No major panic on it, just wondering if I will need to contact Amazon in the end.

Should be pretty much instant.
Have you checked the "Video credit" link I posted that shows if it has been applied?

billbond4 · 04-09-2020 3:31pm

It took a good while for the credit to show up in my basket

Basq · 05-09-2020 2:33pm

Still didn't get my fiver.. so got onto Amazon Customer Service again.

They apologised and gave me a tenner credit.. result!

Davy · 05-09-2020 9:08pm

This was on the Amazon homepage.

Topped up with £100 about 12 hours ago and I am still waiting on the £100 to be credited to my gift card, the amount has left my revolut account but order says processing, amazon support say I just need to wait. Usually only took a few mins in the past.

mydiscworld · 06-09-2020 6:02pm

My £5 reward never showed up either. Waited 2 days then contacted support.

Very good service, sorted me in a few minutes
