Question about the FFXIV-Amazon Deal

I want to know if you get a code for every $20 spent, or is it just one code per Amazon transaction?

I want the Butler outfit, and my Wife wants the Maid, but we share an Amazon account. Does she need her own account or can we just get two codes on our one account?

Any mod or someone with knowledge would be great if I could get an answer.

It is $20 or more so I cam thinking is 1 code per order. I am sure when it roles out there will be deatails on the Amazon webpage.

Can I ask what you're talking about? I feel like I've missed something.

The 7/11 Japan-only items will be distributed to NA by purchases on Amazon.com sometime this month.

If only this had happened before Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator-, and Atelier Sophie all came out on the same day in NA!

Final Fantasy XIV had a campaign event in Japanese 7-Eleven stores that gave players in-game items for qualified purchases. Square Enix revealed that the items will be available in North America via Amazon.

Square Enix’s partnership with online retail giant Amazon.com will bring in-game Final Fantasy XIV items from June 14 through June 27, 2016. Players will get a digital code to unlock exclusive in-game items including an original Fat Chocobo mount, Maid and Butler attire, a Titan-themed Crag mask, an Ifrit-themed Inferno mask, and a set of 99 Magicked Prism wings (consumable item) with a qualifying purchase of $19.99 (tax not included) or more from Amazon.com.

They haven't released full details of the promotion yet, so I don't know that anyone will be able to answer your question just yet. We'll probably get info on it on Monday or Tuesday.

And once again EU gets the middle finger.

I'm curious if this will apply to pre-orders. I assume not because Amazon doesn't charge until an item ships.

You EU people do realize that NA is two countries, well three if you count Mexico as being NA and not Central. That makes it easier to sets up deals vs the many countries EU is made up of, each with their own promotion laws.

I hate that they advertise this as NA, but it's only Amazon.com. It's as if North America was US-only, when Canada is right there too. But we use amazon.ca.

The promotion will likely carry over to the Canadian equivalent. If not, Amazon.com ships to Canada without additional shipping charges (in most cases). You can also simply order a time card and have the code emailed to you.

Nope it is a $19.99 or higher purchase to get a code for all the items. What items count we don't know yet.

You can just make another amazon account with another email.

I'm not sure Time Cards are an easy alternative for Canadians on Amazon.com because, if I remember correctly, they're considered digital games and those are tied to your account's location. Canadians can't download digital games on amazon.com because it simply won't let us. The same goes for e-books.

That said, there are ways to get around it and other options we can get shipped from amazon.com so it's still possible to participate.

I just wonder if it's going to be an emailed code or if we get a slip of paper with out item(s).

Ah well. C'est la vie, I guess. No white fat chocobo mount for me. ;_;

I got a 30$ game I had been eyeing and it cost me 39$ CAD. Not a bad deal but careful which game you choose, some have duty fees and some don't. Like persona 5's duty fees were almost the same price as the game for me...

Someone know if the 20$ limit counts for shipment?

Because there's a HDMI cable you can buy and get the code, its 5$ but, for me, with shipment jumps for 27$, these 27$ counts for the promotion or just the 5$ for the cable?

The order, before shipping and taxes, has to be 19,99$ or more.

You only need 1 promotion code. It unlocks 6 codes. You can give your wife the code to the maid attire.

I purchased a game I was planning to buy anyway and received the codes for all the items.

HOWEVER.. the Butler outfit (I assume the maid outfit as well, but didn't check) does not go into armoire.. which is a huge problem. I don't have 6 spare slots that I can keep tied up with a Butler outfit forever.
