Have an Android device? You can get a $5 credit in the Amazon Appstore by installing it and downloading any application, even a free one. Amazon is offering this deal from 12/24 through 12/28. You just have to download the Appstore installer, then snag an app from it. See this page for details.
It’s worth noting that sometimes the versions of apps Amazon has in its store are not the same as the latest version from the Play Store. Might be worth checking the version of the app in both places before you buy it.
As with the Google Play app store, the Amazon Appstore does require a valid credit card number to install, to simplify the purchase and in-app purchase process.
Update: CNet’s “The Cheapskate” reports Amazon is also offering a $5 credit toward the purchase of any 2013 Editor’s Choice game with the purchase of any digitally-downloaded computer game.
Thank you for the tip.
Please also publish this warning:
This app refuses to install unless you enter a valid Credit Card number. If I knew, I wouldn’t have bothered with installing.
I wanted to intall it on my daughter’s phone and have a look. Perhaps install some free apps and get the feeling what they offer. I am NOT going to associate real CC number with this app.
A fair point. Updated and added.
Amazon’s installers do have issues. I installed their software for side-loading music on Apple devices but gave up the second time it quit working. Not worth the trouble.
It worked great. Thanks for the tip!
