How to check your Amazon promotional credit plus everything you need to know about using your Amazon digital credits!
It’s pretty easy to earn credits on Amazon that you can use towards eBooks, music downloads, and video rentals or purchases.
The trick is knowing what credits you have and actually using them!
This post will answer all of your questions about earning and using Amazon promotional credit as well as how to check your Amazon digit credit balance.
What are Amazon digital credits?
Amazon sometimes offers credits as a thank-you for choosing No-Rush shipping or Amazon Day Delivery.
These credits are automatically applied to your account after your item ships.
You’ll get an email notification when the credit has been applied to your account.
They can usually only be used on digital products such as ebooks, music, movies, or apps. They’re called Amazon mp3 credit or just promotional credits on Amazon.
How do I earn Amazon digital credit?
When you go to the checkout page on Amazon, you will sometimes see a banner with an offer for a digital reward if you select No-Rush Shipping or Amazon Day delivery.
Amazon offers digital rewards to encourage you to have items delivered together or shipped at a slower pace.
This in turn saves Amazon money on shipping costs.
So if you don’t need your item right away, I suggest opting for No-Rush or Amazon Day delivery and start racking up digital rewards!
When you select a slower delivery you’ll see a confirmation that they will automatically apply a digital award to your account when the order ships.
You will also receive an email from Amazon once your item ships confirming that they’ve added the credit to your account.
How do I use Amazon promotional credit?
If you have any credits on Amazon they will automatically be applied to reduce the cost of your digital item at check-out!
In this way, Amazon digital credits and Amazon mp3 credits are very easy to use.
How do I check my Amazon digital credit balance?
Have you ever tried to find out if you have any promotional credits for Amazon Video or Music and had a terrible time finding out?
That’s because it is virtually impossible to find from your Amazon Account home page (or anywhere else for that matter).
However it is possible to check how much credit you have before you make a digital purchase.
Here is a handy link to check your account for promotional credit from selecting Amazon Day delivery or from other means.
Notice that this page will also tell you when your promotional credits expire!
Here you will see your Amazon promotional credit for the following:
- Kindle eBook credits
- Amazon Mp3 credits
- Amazon Video credits
- Amazon Appstore apps
If you aren’t shopping on Amazon Warehouse then you are likely paying too much.

@ME, It's where it says, "link to check your account...". I realize it wasn't the first thing under the title, but it was posted. You need more patience when dealing with others - and their free information! The link took me right to it after searching for 10 minutes before I found this post and had given up looking on Amazon. I knew all the info before that, but some people don't. Now I have it bookmarked forever!

Why can’t I find them without going through your link ? That seems predatory to me .

Hi Lisa! You definitely can find them on the Amazon site without going through my link, though it is difficult - hence the need for this post. Also, I am NOT an Amazon affiliate, so I don't earn any money from you going through my link, unlike most other sites. Just trying to help folks actually use their promotional credits instead of letting them go unnoticed and expiring.

I wonder if there is a way to NOT apply the credits to a particular purchase. We are accumulating credits that we intend to use exclusively for movie rentals. Sometimes I buy Kindle books but I'd rather pay outright for those and use the "cookie jar" as a sort of "saving up for entertainment night" fund. It doesn't give me an option for not applying credits when buying a Kindle book.
