Update: After getting the 900 coins ($9 in free apps) via the apps below in the original post you can buy “Grand Theft Auto” for 699 coins ($6.99) and get a bonus of 2,000 coins ($20 in free apps) within a few minutes of buying the app. Just click that app page again to check your credit a few minutes after buying it.
Even though the app wasn’t compatible with my device I was able to buy it anyway and now I have a total of 2,201 coins that can be used for $22.01 worth of free apps! That’s the 900 coins I got free less 699 coins spent on Grand Theft Auto plus 2,000 bonus coins for buying Grand Theft Auto which totals 2,201 free coins!
If the app is incompatible with your device then you must buy the app on Amazon.com and not from the app store.

Download 9 Amazon Photo Apps And Get $9 In App Credit
There are 9 photo apps found in the link above. Yesterday those apps cost $1-$4 each but today only they are all free.
Additionally for each app that you download you will get 100 “Amazon Coins.”
Each Amazon Coin is worth a penny, so 900 coins can be used for $9 of apps sold by Amazon.
I just clicked to buy the apps and didn’t actually install them on my phone.
You can download the Amazon app store here if you don’t have it.
You can see how many coins you have by clicking on any app sold on Amazon.com. For example the Monopoly app is normally $4.99. From the app purchase page you can choose to use your coins at a penny each, so the Monopoly app costs 499 coins. And it tells me that my balance is 900 coins, so I was properly credited for “buying” the free photo apps.

Android only.
Note: this is android only
Great!!
Thanks Dan!
What can you do with the $9 credit? Anything other than buying apps?
Thanks, I got 800 points, one app is for Kindle only
I have already $15 for apps can anyone tell me of good apps, LOL
Thank you Dan!
I am not installing them. Nevertheless they are being downloaded into my phone. Does that mean they’re occupying actual memory space? And if yes, any way to erase them?
Thanks!
Also, one app is only for kindle tablet so even for Android you only get 800 coins. Thanks!
@Chaya:
Even though it says kindle you can buy it anyway and get the coins.
Shoot! Already used some of the coins for cerberus and now I cant do the grand theft auto thing.
Dan, how can you buy GTA “anyway” if not compatible with the device? Having a hard time.
In NY
Total Before Tax: 699 coins
Tax Collected: 59 coins
—-
Total for this Order: 758 coins
amazing. but one thing, at least in NJ you get charged 49 coins tax so i actually have 2152 coins now instead of 2201. still great though
@Dan: How can I download the kindle app?
@Diddy:
A popup comes up “Non-compatible device If you continue with this purchase, you may be purchasing an app that doesn’t work with your device.”
I clicked continue and had no problem buying it and getting the coins.
@Ez:
Price that you pay for living in NY 😉
There was no tax for me.
@Dan:
Why am I not able to buy it it’s not compatible?
@Booky:
You don’t see this option to continue anyway?
http://i.dansdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/GTA.png
@Diddy:
Do it from amazon.com on a computer not on the app.
Charged me 62 coins in tax when buying GTA in new york. my new total is: 2139 coins
It doesn’t say anymore 2000 points is it still available?
@theberk:
Yup.
@Booky:
It still says “Earn 2000 coins when you buy this app!”
Thanks, Dan. A nice 2201 in my coin box. Just have to remember to spend them within a year.
OK guys! If you do it direct through your device you cant buy an incompatible app. But if you do it on a computer through Amazon’s website it will let you “purchase” it even if its not compatible.
I changed my Amazon address from NY to OH and didn’t have to pay tax either 🙂
@Dan:
No maybe because I’m doing it through the app, is it possible to buy something without the app, when I press browser he only let’s me buy something through app
Thanks Dan.
worth even after NY Tax.
Anyone know any good apps?
@Dan: How did you get it to let you but GTA on your S4 even though it says it’s incompatibe?
@Brian: Great idea!
Anything to do with the now $22 other than buy apps? I have never paid for an app in my life
@moshewoodmere:
Buy it from Amazon.com, not from the app store.
Done! I wonder if requesting the desktop amazon site on a phone would help..
Does it work on iPad???
@Dan I’m on a nexus 5,its not letting me download the GTA through the app store because of compatability and through the browser it tells me to use the app store
@Josh:
Go to a computer.
Thanks Dan!
@Dan You can actually repeat this over and over again (up to 20,000 coins earned per day), all you have to do is delete the app from your account, then go back and purchase again. (To delete the app, click “Your Android Apps and Devices” which is in “Your Account”, find the GTA app, and click “Actions” then “Delete this app”.
I just did it 10 times successfully, and now have close to 14k points. Depending on when this promo will end, I may end up with 100k points.
Thanks.
Very simple.
Took 3 min on a computer.
@Dan:
I tried buying it, it says I won’t let.
That was too easy! Thanks for this, now I have $22 in app currency for those apps I’ve always wanted but couldn’t justify buying since there were free (not as good) alternatives.
Daniel, awesome
@yaakov:
Thanks. Amazon “Mistakes” are rare. I wonder how long this one will last…
@Daniel: now we start with selling the coins how much are these coins worth on the market?? .75 or .0075!? 🙂
@Yak:
Dan has to figure out a way to make these points transferrable before they have any intrinsic value.
Considering you can buy them at a 10% discount ($90 for 10k coins), I have no idea what the actual market value would be.
2201 coins. Nice deal..gotta spend money to make money.
@Daniel:
Didn’t work for me. All that happened now was I lost Grand Theft Auto.
Thanks for nothing.
Daniel: Lets not go too far, yes it works, but…
Any app suggestions?
can i download Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas multiple times and be credited 2000 coins each time?
@Daniel:
Lol Great idea! Haha
you can buy it from your mobile device by clicking “view full site”
On the bottom
@daniel – it worked for me up until 14K but doesn’t work anymore. Still happy with my 13,172 free coins 😉
@Daniel: Would this put you at risk of amazon shutting down the account?
@Geshmak: It only works to 14k because you really earned 20k (the daily limit), you just spent 6k on buying GTA 10 times
I tried purchasing GFA a second time, & it’s not crediting me the coins a 2nd time. But then again, for some reason it didnt subtract the coins either time I purchased it. So I now have 2900 coins
Not getting the credit on the second time through
I can report that this no longer works.
I did get the 900 points, and added GTA and got the extra 2,000 points, but but once I deleted it and tried to buy it again, I got docked 699 points instead of getting the 2,000 bonus.
I tried this twice, on my phone and computer, so lost 1398 points buying it bringing me down to 803 coins. Hey, I’ll take that – better than zero!
Second order has now completed, but bonus miles did not post for it. I now have 1502 coins having spent 699 on a second copy.
My phone doesn’t allow me to download grand theft auto… Any other options?
I think this is dead. Not getting any more credits for buying the free apps or GTA.
When I tried @Daniel’s idea and deleted GTA so that I could repurchase, Amazon accepted the repurchase and deducted the coins 699 coins plus tax but didn’t credit me the next 2,000 or replace the app in my account. 🙁 Proceed with caution.
Didnt work for me. I got GTA and the 9 apps, and got the points, but then when I deleted GTA and attempted to rebuy, I lost the 699 points instead of gaining 2,000.
PS tried this from my phone AND computer, so I lost 1398 points, ended up with 803 in the end. Better than nothing at least.
@Daniel:
amazon is debiting my account for the purchases, but not crediting the 2k coins
@Daniel: Someone must have figured it out. I deleted GTA and then repurchased it. This is the receipt Amazon sent me:
Item Subtotal: 699 Coins
Promotions: -0 Coins
Tax Collected: 62 Coins
Grand Total: 761 Coins
So it cost me the coins plus they didn’t even put it back in my app list.
@Whatshouldido:
Click request full site or use a computer.
Good stickle!
Worked for me. Thanks!
After I bought GTA I went down to zero. I waited 20 minutes and all the points apeared including the credit for GTA.
@ShmuliT:
How do you get amazon app store on a windows computer to download the games? Amazon.com won’t let you put any of these games in a cart, only takes you to buy Amazon Appstore link when you press ‘continue’.
Thank you Dan the Man!
@No Amazon Appstore:
Click request full site
Can I still get the $22?
Worked for me on PC @ 3:50 pm central time.
there are many apps that you can buy with coins
smart sidur is my favorite

@Anonymous:
I’m not understanding. I am on the PC at amazon.com. Where should I click the ‘request full site’? Isn’t this the full site? clicking continue just brings me to ‘download amazon app! TIA
Is this still alive?
@Chaim: Not for free anymore
