$5 Instant Video Credit at Amazon (KSO)

Just a quick note, first: I've added a list of the KSO offers and their ending dates on the menu sidebar to the right (only visible on the website). If you are like me, you may have signed up for a number of offers that you haven't taken advantage of and it's easy to forget that one is about to expire (for example, tomorrow is the last day for the 25% an entire order from Endless.com and that huge savings on an HDTV has less than a week left to go -- I saved an incredible amount on the 55" Samsung 3D HDTV I mentioned in the blog post and I LOVE the picture, whether it's a 3D movie or not; we were already shopping for an HDTV when this offer popped up, so this was a true savings of over a thousand dollars, with the movies, glasses and blu-ray player that were also free with the TV). So, I'll update the list as I add offers in the blog and as older offers expire. Now, back to today's offer....

This offer is for those with selected Kindle Wi-Fi with Special Offers or Kindle 3G + Wi-Fi with Special Offers only. Turn on your wireless, click Menu, Sync & Check for New Items, then on View Special Offers after the sync has completed. You should see this new offer:

Get a $5 credit towards movies and TV shows at Amazon Instant Video

Click on the offer, then click on the link on the offer page sign up and get an email with the promotion code. Sign-up for this offer expires on July 7.

You'll get an email (right away), a link to the Instant Video page, a promotion code and a link to the redemption page. This one works like a gift card and you need to apply the credit to your account first, before going shopping. Once you have entered the promotional code(s), you have until August 7 to complete your purchases.

Once again, this offer can be used more than once per accounts, so long as you have more than one KSO registered (per the offer page on the KSO itself). Just click on the ad on each device to receive the individual promotion codes via email.

You can use this credit on a rental or to purchase single items or entire movie seasons. Be sure to check out the $1.99 Rental Sale this weekend or the daily 99 cent movie rental (today is Hereafter, starring Matt Damon and Cecile De France). If purchasing and TV shows is more your thing, all seasons of Weeds are $14.99 right now (thru July 9) and there are a number of other shows currently discounted on Amazon's current TV Show Sale, including "House", "The Office," "30 Rock," and "Battlestar Galactica."

Between all the instant video credits Amazon has sent my way, I now have enough to pick up Sons of Anarchy Season 3 for free or get the HD version for about $8 (my biggest problem is trying to choose; both are great deals vs the $60+ Blu-Ray available for pre-order).
