Amazon’s offer to get $15 credit for trying its photo app is live again for the month of October.  If you didn’t take advantage of the offer in July, you can now check out Amazon’s photo app in October and receive a $15 code.
Even though the instructions say to turn auto-upload on, I did that for a split second and then paused it. I still got my $15 credit even without uploaded all my photos. And technically, as I point out in the post, the T&Cs say you only need to upload at least one photo. (So those who worry about privacy–don’t upload all your photos and delete the app after you use the promo code).
The credit applies to Prime customers who are using the app for the first time and go through a link advertising the $15 credit.
This is one link you can go through.
The credit isn’t a straight-up gift card and can only be used during a single purchase of $25 or more. But if you use Amazon for basically everything like I do, that shouldn’t be a problem.
Here are the instructions for receiving the promotion:
- Download and sign in to the free Amazon Photos app.
- Upload your photos. Turn on Auto-Save to automatically back up your photos and free up space on your phone.
- Turn on Auto-Save to back up your photos automatically
- Claim your reward. Within 14 days you will receive an email with your $15 Amazon credit.
It doesn’t appear that you *must* turn auto-save on in order to receive the promotion. The terms and conditions say it is for new customers who “upload a photo for the first timeâ€.
The offer expires July 31, 2019 August 31, 2019 October 31, 2019
