Last month Amazon began allowing all Android users to watch Prime Instant Video with the updated Amazon app. Through October 16th, anyone who watches their first movie or TV show on the app will receive 500 Amazon Coins ($5 value) for free. These coins can be used to purchase apps/games from the Amazon App Store for Android. Note: it’s not clear whether or not you must be a Prime member to take advantage of this promo, but it’s worth a shot either way.
Here’s how to get your free Amazon Coins:
- Download the Amazon app for Android phones
- Visit Prime Instant Video player from within the Amazon app by tapping the menu icon, and selecting Prime Instant Video from the menu
- Find what you’d like to watch, and tap Play – you’ll be prompted to make a one-time install of the Prime Instant Video player to enable playback
- Tap Open after installing the Prime Instant Video player and then tap Play
- You will receive your 500 Free Amazon Coins within 72 hours of streaming your movie or TV show from your Android phone
