TLDR:
Thanks all for having this discussion here. Thanks
@vaibhav111 for showing here your case along with
@Sourabh_13
And Many Many thanks to
@helloworld for giving some solution to utilize my existing 100 balance.
Long story:
I purchased Amazon Prime from MagicPin as I saw 15% off there today. I forgot I have 100 balance in prime account.
I tried redeeming 1499 GC but failed. So I immediately came here. Searched for same error and got this thread.
First few posts and I started disappointing and blaming why I purchased 1499 without gathering some info about how Prime GC addition and redemption works currently. Before that I also called Amazon CS but they said I can add after my current membership expires. I was even ready to loose this 100 balance and asked to expire it but they said they can't find expiry of balance.
This thing also wonder me why Amazon does not show expiry of balance for vouchers.
Finally the post came with link from
@helloworld to utilize 100 balance ( have to order 2 items 130/-) but its better to have 1499 GC redeemed in my account than waiting for any resolution for this 100 prime balance. I ordered those money evelopes and got my 1499 GC also added
🙂
Really those of us who experienced this thing need to make aware to other forum members whenever Prime GC discussion comes to ensure utilize existing Prime balance first or do not purchase 1499 GC.
