Amazon Preorder Bonus Credit Question

[CaptainKirk]

When you preorder games from Amazon sometimes you get $10 etc credit...

...I never have...

...I am wondering if the credit is a code?

...or is it automatically added to your gift card balance?

Yes, 1 year after you are given the credit.

Lets say you get credit for FIFA 11 this september 27th, then the credit will expire on september 27th 2012

In my experience the credit expires at different times. I've had some last only 3 months. I don't think I've ever had one last a full year, but then again, I guess I've always used my credit before a year has passed.

you said in the first post that you have never received credit from a pre-order. So are you talking about gift cards in this post? Credit from pre-orders will always apply before any other method of payment is applied for future orderes. You have to remember though that the credit would apply to things sold directly from Amazon.com and not a third party seller or fulfilled by amazon.
