If it says “Unfortunately, you are not eligible for this offer” then you are not targeted for this offer.

My primary Amazon Prime account isn’t targeted, but my secondary Amazon Prime Household account is targeted.

Select a gift card to send via text message by scrolling down the promo activation page. Add $50 onto a card and proceed to checkout.
I sent myself the $50 gift card and added it onto my Amazon gift card balance, plus I’ll have the $5 promo credit on my account.

Thanks for posting.
I seem to never get targeted for these. And yet again, not.
Hope some other readers get targeted.
Good luck
If you never get targeted, and you haven tried it yet I’d advise deleting the card and putting it back in. It’s worked for me.
Rarely targeted but got this one!! Thanks Dan!
I’m assuming there’s no way to pay for this $50 gift card with another gift card.
On the topic of amz GCS I’ve recently had a very large amount of gc balances revoked . Tried calling numerous times but got nowhere.any advice or dps?
If you’re purchasing amazon gc from office stores on the ink, what’s the gain from doing this [$5 instead of the points, aren’t they worth more?]?
$5 off $50 is 10% off. Plus you can use a card like Blue for Business that earns 2 points per dollar.
That exceeds 5 Chase points per dollar earns.
For those who prefer Amex, there’s also an Amex 5X MR offer for Amazon right now.
Does the 5X bonus work for GC?
Sure.
Targeted!
Thanks Dan!
I am targeted. Saved the offer. Sent a $50 card via sms. Did not get a $5 bonus ….
Update. It took a day. But I received the $5 credit. Thanks
Got it!
How many times can I use this?
clicked and said coupon added. Seems I’m in
Got it – Thanks!
targeted a few times, but at checkout it tells me
The promotional code you entered cannot be applied to your purchase.
That’s because you applied it to your account already. Checkout and look under the total to see if the promotion is applied.
its not supposed to show a difference on total, the $5 is a promo credit coming a few days later
UNDER. It’ll say which promotion is applied. You will pay $50. But below the payment details box is a list of promotions applied. The list will have one promotion. But I forgot what they called it.
Thank you for this!

If I hadn’t checked back here for this DP I would’ve missed the offer which I got on 2 accounts. I was thinking the same as OP and didn’t see a discount so was about to abandon this. Hope it helps others like it did for me.
Can I use a basic phone for this deal?
I used google voice, but you should be able to forward the text to an email or manually put in the full url on your computer.
Can I send $50 using my account balance (from a gift card I purchased with my Ink Cash)?
worked on mobile for me
Got it this time. Thank you.
