Free money?! Sign me up.
Get a free $5 promo credit to be used on anything sold and shipped by Amazon when you sign up for a free 30-day trial of Music Unlimited after entering promo code MUSIC5.
Amazon has learned their lesson from the last deal and added a few caveats to this one. First, this deal only applies to new subscribers. If you caught the last deal or have signed up for Amazon Music Unlimited before, you won't be eligible. Second, you need to be a Prime member. Third, you won't be able to create a bunch of new accounts for this promo because the accounts have to be older than October 1.
If you didn't already see, Amazon just announced a slate of new Echo and Fire TV products which are currently available to pre-order at a discount! Your promotional credit can be applied to any of those, like the new Echo Spot.
Use the credit to get discounts on video games. Get Destiny 2 for $42 or Cuphead for $15.
Once signed up, you can immediately change (or cancel) your subscription to not auto-renew which will keep your card from being charged until you're sure you want to actually pay for the service.
Music Unlimited features streaming access to tens of millions of songs and thousands of playlists and stations. You can access Music Unlimited on your phone, tablet, computer, Alexa-compatible devices and more. After the trial ends, the service costs $7.99 monthly for Prime members and $9.99 for non-Prime members.
This offer is valid through October 11, while the credit must be used before October 31.

Amazon's giving out free $5 credits for activating a Music Unlimited trial
I signed up for the trial and got the $10 promo. I then bought a digital Xbox $10 gift card with the $10 promo and nowI'mm half way there for Cuphead.
Nice! That's a steal.
Promoception!
Sweet. I'll download the app on to my Lumia 950 XL right away and score a sweet... Wait a minute.
We get it.
You could also try it out on your Windows PC. But if you hate free money then you could ignore it entirely.
Sweet. I'll download the app on my W10 PC, laptop, tablet and HTPC right away and score a sweet... Wait a minute...
The kids these days. Don't know how to install anything that didn't come from an app store. 😜
I'm just pleased to be called a kid. Must be my boyish good looks! Who would know I grew up 'installing apps' from paper and magnetic tape. People these days, with their modern floppy disks have no idea... ;-) That said, even on the Windows phone Amazon Music can work over the browser I think. The video can so I guess. Mind you, the video is rubbish compared to Netflix so I assume the music service also has poor content? I'm deciding between Spotify and Deezer since MS's cloud service 'focus' seems to mean 'closure', lack of apps and possibly content will keep me away from Amazon.
this is for US only? koz i cant get it to work... im from finland
It's not working for me
I signed up earlier and it didn't work. I followed all instructions. Now, it's no longer available, so looks like Amazon doesn't want me to like their services
I just got Amazon Prime for students. $49/year. Free two-day shipping on prime items, instant access to video streaming on-demand, ad-free music streaming, unlimited reading, free unlimited photo storage, twitch prime, early access to amazon lightning deals. Sweet deal.
Is this something a Windows 10 user can benefit of? I mean, we don't have an app for that, do we? So I'll pass.
Come on, people. You can install a Win32 application. I have confidence in you.
I'd prefer a uwp app that also works on xbox...
I signed up last week after I cancelled groove. Wish they would back date that it's clearly related.
I'll pass. Not worth it.
Uhhh... not worth what? your time? it is completely free $5.00 and you can cancel right after if you truly wanted to. it probably takes all of 15 minutes to sign up and cancel.
