they messed this up

They took away the credit too? WTF. It's not like this is the first time they've had this $5 share and claim offer, why would they kill it off like this.

Here's a screenshot of what the page looked like before it changed in case you want to use it to file a complaint

yea i got it before they closed it but the credit doesnt show on final checkout

How do you even tell that you got the $5 credit?

this is just weird

Well that's certainly shitty. Like everyone else, my credit isn't showing up. Assholes.

Add something over $5 to your cart and go to checkout. But apparently, they're revoking the credit too. Sucks that I missed this!

I had the $5 credit as I did a fake checkout to see if the promo showed and it did. When I added something else to the cart the credit was gone. I e-mailed them. Hopefully they give us something out of this.

I've done this like 3 times in the past and it's always gone smoothly. Maybe they put this up prematurely or something

in a chat right now with amazon, let's see how this goes

Thats my thought process, although promotions like this for cars usually take place when the car comes out (usually late summer early fall)

Guess they just want us to post the ad on to our FB for advertisement. Marketing scheme!!!

Anyone contacted Amazon CS yet?

the page now says:
This Promotion Has Ended

Thank you for visiting. This promotion has ended.

Don't bother with chat, they blow for things like this. Send an email directly to Jeff Bezos and you'll get way better treatment: jeff@amazon.com

I'm not going to try anything this time because I didn't get in on the deal, but in the past whenever I've emailed 'him' it's been worked out very quickly.

I usually see them do this for mp3 credits. It's usually only $2. I do recall before Black Friday there was a $5 credit offered but you had to place a minimum $25 order.

A $5 credit for no minimum order. When have they done this before?

Obviously some sort of mistake.

just tried to checkout with one item sold and shipped from amazon... no credit applied.

I've never had much problems with the chat with stuff like this.

Actually, in it now and the woman just credited my account.

There usually is a minimum true, but usually they don't ask you to watch a video to get the credit either (though they did give it without actually requiring the vid to be watched). In any event, it's all botched up from the looks of it.
