A limited-time offer distributed by Amazon, or affiliated partners, allowing customers to acquire a five-dollar credit towards future purchases on the Amazon platform, upon completion of a specified action. An example of this includes receiving the credit after making a qualifying purchase, applying a specific promotional code, or engaging with a particular Amazon service.
These types of promotions serve as a method to incentivize customer engagement and drive sales on the platform. The benefit to the customer is the immediate financial advantage gained, while Amazon benefits from increased transaction volume, promotion of specific products or services, and potentially, the acquisition of new customers. Such initiatives have a long history, and are part of marketing strategy to boost sales.
