Back in July I wrote about Amazon offering Prime members a $1 instant video credit for choosing no-rush shipping instead of 2 day shipping.
At first they were offering the $1 credit on all items, though then they got smart and started only offering it on items that cost at least $1.01.
Credits post once your items actually ships.
Those credits expired 10/31.
In September I wrote how the program had changed to book and eBook credit. Those credits expire 12/31.
Now I just noticed that it has changed again. Now you can use the credit for eBooks, digital music, And Amazon instant video credit. The credits will be valid until 03/31/15.
I’d guess that in February we’ll see another change 🙂

Thanks Dan!! Good to know!!
Is 1.01 minimum still there?
@Mike B:
Yes.
Dan – does this mean that previously-awarded $1 credits, originally for books and ebooks only, can be used for music as well? Thanks!
@Yehuda:
No.
Dan efsher I can complain that y credit expired and get amazon credit since thy never originally said it would expire.
Just a reminder that some credits will expire in 2 days 11/15/14
If I have let’s say $10 book credits and $2 expires in 2 days and $8 expires in December, and I buy a book that costs $3 they will take the ones that expires soon?
Where can you see how much credit you have and when it expires?
@Dan I guess my 1k $0.02 orders for video credit last time will have to satisfy me, lol.

@DanE: You should include that URL with all posts like this.
@All: I always have to Google for that URL.
The $1.01 minimum is after a using a coupon? or total must be $1.01
@Dan: I guess you should change the answer, If you ask then it only works for $1.01 and more……..
@HansGolden, That link doesn’t check book/ebook credits. I’ve gotten a few of those and have found no way to check those credits.
Like book credits much better. Wasted my digital video if you have prime streaming who needs the video?
Check your credit by adding a book to your cart (or digital item if you want to know your digital credit), and going to the checkout page.
Hey Dan, do you know where I can check my book/ ebook credits? Thanks
I’m really confused with the Ebooks credits. I have utilized the no rush shipping. My credit hasn’t expired. I’m purchasing Ebooks but the no rush shipping credits aren’t applied. Amazon says that’s because to use the credit, books must be published by Amazon Digital Services. That severely limits your Ebooks selections. Not only that, but the books published by Amazon Digital Services are next to impossible to find on the site. I’ll take two day shipping instead.
