This is an amazing deal and I think you posted it in the right spot. I buy dozens of games from Amazon every year and this will save me a bunch of money. At $15, this is a steal.
OP, you should edit the title to show that an ECA membership gives you 10% off video games at Amazon (i.e., ECA Membership = 10% discount on games through Amazon).
Huzzah, finally something good to sign up for due to me being in college. I easily spend that much on games alone, so this shall be quite awesome.
And yeah, I'm having the same problem with the code. Perhaps it only generates one per day or something like that? THe crappy thing is, once I found this out the hard way, I cancelled my initial order so I could lump all my games together, and the code expires even if the order on which it was used was cancelled. E-mailed them to see exactly how this works, but hopefully I can take advantage of it.
On a side note, damn Amazon for not letting you input promotional codes on already-placed orders. I have 2 pre-orders for things that were Gold Box items, and I can't use the promotional code without losing my Gold Box discount. Not sure if Customer Support would adjust it.
Just signed up and used the code and it works as advertised.
UPDATE: It's only letting me use the code once. I'll have to dig around and find out what the deal is. Until then, you may want to wait to sign up.
I ran into the same thing. Coupon could only be used once. I sent them the below email, and will report back here when I get a response.
Quote:
The Amazon Membership Benefit states that the 10% discount applies to ALL games-related purchases (hardware excluded). Here is the specific wording in the members area:
Offer: ECA members enjoy 10% off all games-related purchases at Amazon.com (hardware excluded). If you buy 3+ games per year, this benefit alone rationalizes your membership dues.
However, this coupon can apparently be used only once at Amazon. I used it on my first order successfully, but on a second order, the coupon could not be used. The following message was given:
This offer has already been redeemed. Please enter another claim code or leave this field blank.
This benefit was the primary reason I became a member, so it's important to me for this issue to be resolved. What can I expect here?
it says "download a code" for amazon. sounds like a 1 use code.
It also says "towards 10% off your games purchases." An "s" on the end of a word usually signifies plurality. It was presented to the public as a permanent code (singular) that allows for numerous purchases (plural).
I also sent them an email to hammer home the point:
Quote:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I recently signed up for the ECA (Member ID: nlangan), spurred by an offer for 10% off video game-related items from Amazon.com. Unfortunately, it has become apparent that the discount provided by the ECA is good for one purchase only. This is in direct contradiction to the wording on the official ECA website. The following is taken directly from http://www.theeca.com/membership_benefits.
“Amazon.com - download a code from the Benefits section to use at Amazon.com towards 10% off your games purchases. If you buy three or more games a year, this benefit alone makes being a member worth it.”
This set of statements implies that one can use the code for multiple “games purchases.” Furthermore, the membership benefits page (http://www.theeca.com/member_home) states:
“Offer: ECA members enjoy 10% off all games-related purchases at Amazon.com (hardware excluded). If you buy 3+ games per year, this benefit alone rationalizes your membership dues.”
Again, this implies that the benefit is good for “all games-related purchases” during my membership with the ECA. I am very disappointed with my experience so far and hope that there is something you can do to remedy this situation. Rather than ask you to end my membership, I would much prefer that you deliver on the promises you’ve made with this discount. If that cannot be accomplished, I will have to ask for a full refund.
Thank you.

Done,
Edited the post to resemble the possible only one use code. Hope that it's not as that would ruin the deal.
