need help or advice

Maybe not something helpful for your case...but have you immediately input the code in your Amazon GC account once you have it? So far as I know, there's expiry date for these GC codes. Therefore, once I receive it, I would input the code into my Amazon GC account immediately. At least, I know that the code is valid. Good luck to you.

Did you happen to keep the email containing the code? Perhaps there is contact information in the email somewhere. I remember this happened to me (it was only $5), but they do have an expiration date (I believe it is 1 year).

Hope it works out for you!!

i do have the original email. but it only has a comment saying' thankyou for participating in zinio usability study.we apppreciate your feedback' bolt peters. no contact info. and i never used this code as codes in my state dont expire.

i have used older codes and they always worked fine

I nnoticed alot of times that if you copy and paste the code is invalid. Try typing it in might make a difference. that was my experience. try it you have nothing to lose

**grapes** · 10-13-2009, 04:37 PM

i did try typing. not one but several times. as $100 is too much to loose. couldnt beleive this. had saved this for some big purchase

**grapes** · 10-13-2009, 05:04 PM

it was not an email.a phone interview. we had to go to a website and a survey poped up asking if they could call us. pretty sure it was for a magazine website. but i do have the original email with gc code. this was sent from amazon.but i will try contacting zinio.thanks for the link.

**Angellique** · 10-13-2009, 06:12 PM

The only other advice I can give that has not been given is be sure it is zero and not the letter o, things like that hope that helps.

If the email was sent to you from Amazon, then they should be able to help you. Have you called them or just emailed? I get much better help from calling them. The number is 800-201-7575. Like another member advised, in the future, put the code in your Amazon account after you get it. It will not go anywhere until you use it, it will just be waiting for you in your account. Are you saying you received this in June 2008? If so, you could be out of luck at this point.

**grapes** · 10-14-2009, 11:57 AM

yes i did call amazon and they said they couldnt locate this code. may be the purchaser either sent me a duplicate code or cancelled the order. and yes i am giving up hopes too coz i did receive this on june 2008.

**Metu** · 10-14-2009, 12:03 PM

codes last 1 yr but they give you an additional 3 mo grace
Bank them in amazon this way they are safe and secure

**decarillion** · 10-15-2009, 10:02 AM

I didn't realize Amazon codes expired at all! (then, again, I don't let them languish long enough to think about it --always too many things I want there LOL).

Zinio has something to do with digital mags, don't they? I have a Zinio reader on my machines for use with some free digital subs that I have.
