Amazon Prime $59 for amazon card members only

Quote from amber1111 : I never got my credit either. After chatting with two employees who could not help me, I set an email to their customer service. They responded and apologized for my trouble and applied a $20 credit to my amazon.com account.

your account is student's ?

Mine is. Emailed them and they said the promo was for the $79 membership, but they gave me a $20 promotional credit anyways.

Thanks. They credit $20 back to me too.

interesting! How did you get them to credit $20 back instead of giving you a $20 promo credit?

I chatted with Amazon and I still kept chatting log + screen print of the last chatting with Amazon rep when he/she confirmed about the promotion with me )

Quote from jrey : I have stopped shopping at Amazon.com this year since: 1. they started charging tax for my state, 2. there is no free prime account for student, 3. they reduced the discount for the subscription and amazon mom and all others I don't remember the exact names. I now shop at drugstore.com, toysrus and all others via shoprunner. And yeah, I don't pay tax for buying from any of those stores.

There are few more big changes to Amazon that you probably hate also.

- Subscribe & Save now only ship once a month. So if you buy at the wrong time, you may need to wait almost 4 weeks for it to ship
- Some of the item become "ADD ON" item that you can't even purchase as a paid PRIME member unless you buy $25+.
And more and more item that used to be free prime shipped now become ADD ON.

ok; I was only able to get a $20 promo cert

Anyone know if I purchase this, will it extend my existing membership?

Re-read the first post. This deal expired almost a month ago.

Quote from warsaws : Were you selected for this offer?

I also have not received it. I signed on 11/03. Chatted with them on 12/18 when they said they are escalating it.
Again chatted today and they are escalating it again. This one has been a pain.

Now on a phone call with them. Hopefully this would be the last one and the issue would get resolved.

Quote from sarah_i : Did anyone get their $20 credit yet? I am past the 2 week mark that they mention in their terms and conditions, but nothing yet...

I also have not received it as of 01/03/2013 (hd signed up for the $79 Prime membership on 11/03).

Who is "them"? this is a Chase offer, not an Amazon offer.

I received this card and completely forgot about it. In the middle of December I found the card and emailed Amazon. They misunderstood what I was saying and thought what I said the offer was, was a $20 credit for signing up for the credit card, not for Prime. They referred me to Chase.

I contacted Chase, and Chase said it was an Amazon offer, not a Chase offer.

I contacted Amazon again, and they provided me with a $20 promotional credit on my next purchase... long story short, I got Prime for $59 in December.

Now, I imagine they did this because I am a frequent customer on Amazon... not sure if they will do it for everyone, but may be worth a shot.... The offer page is still online, though it clearly says it expires on 11/15/12.
