      Thanks for letting me know! I have updated the post!

      Yay! I have good news! You can do this no matter what device you have… here’s the update I put in the post above:

        I still can’t get this to work on my iPhone. I follow Collin’s links and click on one of the qualifying games. There is not “purchase” button, just a “Get Started” button. When I click on that it says, “Oh no, it looks like you’re on an iOS device. Currently the Amazon Appstore is only for Android smartphones and tablets.” What am I doing wrong?

        • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

          Oh bummer! Can you try from your desktop? I am on my computer and it’s working fine.

          • Alicia

            Yes. I tried on both desktop and iPhone with no luck. Anyone else have this issue?

            • laurie

              I have the same issue 🙁

            • Rosana

              same issue.

      • Minion

        I think they changed it back to Android only.

  6. Lauren

    No it worked for iPhone, the app didn’t download but the free purchase counted towards the $5 credit! Got my confirmation email already 😏

    • Jennifer

      How do I do it on my iPhone?

    • Chelsey L.

      Have you ever had an Android device linked to your account? Mine isn’t even giving me the option to purchase.

      • Lauren

        I was able to get it to work on my iPhone from switching from the mobile version to the desktop version and it gave me the option to purchase. Already received the $5 credit!

        • Jessica

          Thank you! This way worked for me as well!!

        • Donna

          Thanks for the tip worked for me as well on my iPhone & got my email immediately 🙂

    • Ashley

    • Sarah

  11. Brittany

    Thank you Collin! So awesome!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Thanks for the kind words Brittany! You’re welcome!

  12. Susan

    i just did it and my email came in just a minute. yay! $5 on amazon… awesome!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Perfect!

  13. Karis

    I have a new Amazon Fire and “bought” Bad Piggies. Game is compatible with my device and my confirmation e-mail for the promotional credit came through in like 30 seconds! Already used it to buy a blu-ray the man wanted for christmas!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Woohoo! Great buy!

  14. Linda

    How are you guys getting it to work on iPhone?

  15. Amy

    I just downloaded underground for the first time. Anyone have a referral code they want me to use? Mine is AMY17109N if anyone wants to use it. We’ll both get $5

    • Katrina

      Mine is KATRI3391N

      • Amy

        Must have been a delay in the posts showing up on my end. I didn’t see this and used one i saw down the post. Hope someone else uses it!

  16. Tiffany

    Awesome! Thanks!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You’re welcome!

  17. ThriftyNursingStudent

    Help! My boyfriend and I share an Amazon Prime account (in his name). It’s there any way I can order a gift for him through it without him knowing what it is?! Thanks!

    • ShoppyMcSaver

      Create your own account and link them as a household. You can share prime but he can’t see your orders.

    • Lauren

      If it’s over $35 you won’t have to worry about shipping and then just open a regular Amazon account to purchase it on.

    • ThriftyNursingStudent

      Thanks guys! ! Got it to work!

    • A

      My hubby and I share a prime membership but have separate accounts. I can’t see what he’s bought and he can’t see what I’ve bought.

  18. J

    Is this going to download the Amazon app? Bc I wanted my family to use my link so I get $5 referral credit too not just them.

  19. meg

    Woohoo thanks collin!!!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You are so welcome Meg!

  20. Kolette

    I have an apple phone also, but I did this from my desktop computer, didn’t download, but still got the credit!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Awesome!

  21. Barb J

    I finally got it to work. Added Bad Piggies to my add list on my iphone and then went to my computer and pulled down the wish list tab, pulled up bad piggies, “downloaded it” and got my $5 credit within minutes. Thanks.

    • Mini

      How did you download it? Can’t see any download link

      • Barb J

        Sorry Mini I am using wrong wording. Once you add it to wish list from iphone, go on to computer and after you pull up the app from the wish list tab, click on the see all buying options tab and then click on the get app tab. After I did that I got an email in about 2 minutes that I got my $5 credit. Or you can just follow the steps Collin listed.

        • Mini

          Thanks for replying but I just got Get started yellow button no get app button.

          • Sarah

            I followed this exactly and got the get started button too where I am asked to enter my email address. It’s just a big loop for me.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Oh good! So glad you got it!

  22. Briana

    iPhone users! Open this post in safari then scroll to bottom where it says Amazon.com full site, you should then be able to “purchase” it.

    • J

      Thanks! For some reason though it gave me zero credit. Did you see credit?

      • Ashley

        Did you add an item to your cart? I didn’t see my credit til I added something to my cart, then went to my cart and it says -$5 promo credit

    • DealHunter

      Thanks but still can’t figure it out

      • Briana

        I did receive my credit! Bummer! Hopefully you guys can figure it out somehow!

    • Catie

      Thanks for the tip–worked like a charm!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Thanks for sharing your tip!

  23. J

    If anyone doesn’t have the app yet we both get $5
    JESSI3841N

    • Amy

      I’ll use yours!

  24. Victoria

    Um I went to install on my sons phone until I read the permissions for the underground app, which included overwrite and delete sd content, record audio and a list of other things. I know it’s Amazon but I will wait and pass on downloading the underground app

  25. Momo112

    Whoohoo! Thank you! 🙂

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      YW!

  26. Ree

    I only received $1 credit. Wonder what I did wrong 😕

    • F

      Same here, downloaded underground too

    • Jenna

      Me too. A few minutes later the $5 came through as well!

  27. Leigh

    Totally not working. I feel like I’m crazy cus I’m doing exactly what everyone else says but I never get the option to buy just a yellow “get started” bar

    • Victoria

      Totally agree. I’m not seeing where it says “purchase” at all. Mine says get started too

      • dontknock

        Definitely not working at this time…. IMO… “GET STARTED”….

        Can someone please explain what they do after clicking on the link provided by Colin above?

        It is unclear at this time by many.

        When the link is clicked, it brings me to a page that reads, “5.00 credit with qualifying purchases” and apps are below.

        We click on an app.. then it asks us to put in a phone number or email address. A link is sent.

        We try to open that link, by clicking on it and it says that the device is not capable or whatever…
        ****
        Then.. back to Amazon and no credit shows when adding something to our carts..

        I think where the stars are above.. something else must be happening that we are missing.

        Thoughts?
        Thanks!

    • Grace

      Same here

      • A

        Me too.

    • Stephanie

      Same here – I have no option to “purchase”, it just says “get started” or “add to list”

      • Leigh

        I both tried to get started bad have added items to the list but still no option to purchase

    • CBNurse

      Same here.

    • CBNurse

      Using iPhone 6 and not working. Doesn’t even give the option.

      • Ashley

        Is everyone going to the full site view? If you use mobile view it won’t work. Scroll to bottom of page and there should be something to view full site. Then a button should pop up that says something like “get app” or “purchase app”

        • Sarah

          I still didn’t see it. There was a link to put my email address so I did that and got the email, but there is no credit in my account.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Are you able to switch to the desktop version? It seems that some readers have grabbed it that way!

  28. Chelsey L.

    All I have is a “Get Started Bar” …. I’m not seeing a download or buy option and so far I’ve tried everything listed. Please help!

    • Ashley

      If you switch from mobile view to full web view then you should see “get app”

      • A

        It still says get started…even in full mode

      • Chelsey L.

        No, I’m still only seeing Get Started

  29. AP

    Did it from my pc, got the $5 immediately. Used it on shopkins. Thanks!!!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Oh good! Thanks for sharing!

  30. AmandaR.

    Leigh, that is exactly what I’m getting. On my iPhone…no option to “purchase” even after viewing the full Amazon site on my phone.

    • Leigh

      Okay, I’m not crazy then (at least not today). I tried this on iPhone6 mobile site and full site and on desktop in Safari and chrome. I tried purchasing with Colin’s link and I tried adding it to a wish list. I’ve earned that $5 lol

      • AmandaR.

        I’ve tried everything your saying as well…and nada, zilch, nothing…lol. Oh, and I have prime.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Are you able to try it on a desktop? Other readers have found that to be successful. Hope that helps!

  31. Luv

    I only got $1 email not $5 and I don’t see any credit when I place something in my cart. Don’t know what I did wrong.

  32. Precious

    I did this on my iPhone 6 and it worked for me. I bought a book for my toddler. 🙂

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Great buy!

  33. dontknock

    Those of you that got the 5.00.. are u seeing, ‘purchase’ as an option or “get started”?

    • J

      Get started
      And it took several minutes for credit to show up. I thought it didn’t work at first

  34. gail

    I downloaded multiple apps…and nothing. No credit 🙁

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Bummer 🙁

  35. kelly

    where do you see your $5 credit appear? what link do i use to find out if it worked?

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      It should be automatically applied to your next purchase. Hope that helps!

  36. Kim

    Me too AP! Downloaded easy on PC and got $5 credit toward a purchase (go to checkout to see). THANKS!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Woohoo! You’re welcome Kim!

  37. kim

    Hey Collin. Not working for me. Do you have to be Prime? Also when you say opt what exactly do you mean? Also what do you do when you have to download underground? Anyone want to chime in…?

    • kim

      Ok has to be desktop…

      • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

        Glad you grabbed it Kim 😉

    • Jen

      I tried but didn’t realize it was for those who don’t already use the app. Sorry

  38. Melissa Simpson

    thank you! we just have to make sure it is in desktop version to work and we sign in to Amazon account with something in our carts to see credit.

  39. Jen

    I do not see an option to download. It just has an option to add to a list and then there’s still no option to download. Help!!!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Are you able to switch over to desktop view? Hope that helps!
