Promo is back, supposedly for new customers but may work if you uninstalled it previously. I was just able to do again myself for another easy five bucks. Amazon Assistant is a browser extension for most popular web browsers. I usually don’t like these “helpers” as they slow down my computer and track my every movement even more than usual, but Amazon is offering a $5 off $25 coupon for new users. You can always un-install or disable it after you use up the coupon. Here’s how to get the promotion applied to your account:
- Install the Amazon Assistant browser plugin. (Here is an alternate link if that first one doesn’t work.) When complete, you should see a little Amazon Assistant “a” icon on your top right of your browser.
- Make sure you are signed into your Amazon account. Click on the Amazon Assistant “a” icon on the top right, and scroll through the introductory tutorial.
- Click on the “Redeem offer now” button to apply the credit to your account.
Add items to your cart initiated within the plugin (do a search for what you want). During checkout, look for $5 off your next $25 purchase. Your cart must contain physical goods sold by Amazon.com. Here is a link to all the promo details.
Thanks Jonathan. Worked Great!
Nice find. Going to give this a try now. Cheers. Tom
I had to install the extension from this link, http://www.amazon.com/gp/BIT/aapromo which I found on the amazon promo page. When I installed using Jonathan’s I did not get the $5 promo
Thanks Andy! I had the same problem, and your link worked. Maybe Jonathan can change it in the main post?
Also, I’m having some trouble getting the discount applied. You have to use the extension to get to the item, and it has to be ‘sold by Amazon’ – not just shipped. The items I’ve tried are not explicitly sold by other vendors, yet the discount only showed up when I picked something random from the Assistant’s Deal of the Day list.
Thanks, I have added the alternate link to the original post. I was able to get the $5 to work via the search option in the extension on a random item, but yes you need to make sure it is shipped and sold by Amazon.
