$25 Fire TV Discount Code for Panasonic Smart TV Owners - YMMV/PSA

+3 Deal Score
3,438 Views
Amazon sent me an email stating that as of September 26, 2019, they would no longer support the built in Amazon Prime video application on my Panasonic Smart TV. To make up for this loss of functionality they included a $25 discount code for a Fire TV stick.

FWIW, I'm an Amazon Prime member who watches no more than one Amazon video on this TV per month. The coupon code sent appears to be a single use code.

BOLO for same of you are in a similar situation.

You know I knew something like this would happen when they stopped updating my smart TV apps on my older Vizio and half are working. I didn't see Amazon disable it on branded TV though, why is that?

I have an old panasonic tv with the apps built in, any way to activate this? Do I need to sign in to the Amazon app on it?

I didnt get the e-mail for my old Sony but got the message on the app that it will no longer be supported. Called the CSR and received a $25 credit. Unfortunately the 4KFIRETV code didn't work on my account or it would have been free. Good luck!
