This deal worked for me, but I had a terrible time getting Alexa to order the right thing. I wanted a specific book from a series, and Alexa tried to order the entire series for like $60 and then other random books with titles that were close, but definitely not the right book.

I looked the book up on Amazon on my computer and looked at the URL to see the item ID (looks like "B00514HX3F"). Then I said "Alexa, order B00514HX3F". I doubted whether it would work, but it did! Alexa read off the correct title of the book, indicated that the $5 promo had been applied, and confirmed that I wanted to order it.

Hope that helps anyone who might want to use this promo, but is struggling to get Alexa to cooperate.
Credit is applied at the time you order. In other words, the purchase is discounted by $5. I just ordered a book that is normally $7.29 and it was $2.29; when you order the book, Alexa will state the adjusted price and inform you that the $5 credit was applied before you confirm the purchase.
Here's how you check if the credit applies BEFORE buying!

On any device (including the Alexa app), say this phrase:


She should respond with "(Your book's title) by (your book's author). The Kindle ebook is (price) after a $5.00 Alexa-exclusive ebook credit. Would you like to buy it?"

I've tested a few different books on Echo Dot 3, Echo Show, Echo Show 5, and my Alexa app. This should be foolproof!

Alexa isn't having any issue finding the book I want. She tells me that it is $1.99 after the promo but she doesn't ask if I want to buy it. Any idea how to get her to buy it? I even say Buy the book xxxx and she tells me about the book and it's the correct one but there is no offer to buy it.

Just did it myself and it worked. Gave me the $5 and used no rush credits.
I got it to work by asking Alexa how to order an ebook. She told me, I repeated it back and it was ordered. Easy peasy.

She asked me for my purchase code. Did you set up a code for Alexa purchasing?

I haven't set up a code. I live alone so I never set one up but Voice Purchasing is enabled.

I also asked how to order a book and did what she said but she doesn't order the book.

Since it is an Echo Show, apparently, I have to touch the screen to purchase the book which seems counter to the entire point of purchasing it through Alexa. But I was able to get the book.
