Amazon promo issue

So, I bought a game from amazon and I live in the US and I am being told I do not qualify for the promotion because the game was used even though the game was sold and shipped by amazon. They then continued to tell me that the previous owner (very angry at this point) could have already redeemed the code there for I can no longer use the code.... Is it really this hard to get the codes for the maid/butler outfit with the chocobo?

You bought the game (even if it was second hand, you are entitled to a code). My advice if you still have not received this item, cancel it and pre-order (no second hand this time, to avoid this issue) something new .

But first talk with Amazon support and explain this to them, because being given the same code as the previous owner is plain wrong.

Yeah, it shows special offers, so you deserve a working code. Contact them and explain everything, this is a mistake on their part and they need to fix it. If they are not going to fix it, cancel this order and pre-order something else, but new this time.

I contacted them today and I have to wait for an email from marketing to try and resolve the issue.

Vineeth: Thank you\
I can see that you've ordered Mario Kart 7
Me:Yes.
From the Amazon warehouse deals.
Vineeth: Well.. do you have the package with you right now ?
Me: No, I don't receive it until tomorrow.
Vineeth: See, I'd like to inform you that Amazon Warehouse Deals (went on about what was in the item)
Me: I understand this information, I read the description before I placed my order. (quoted promo)
Vineeth: Well the promotional code doesn't qualifies for your order
Me:Why doesn't it? It states it below that it counts for the order as long as Amazon.com ships and sells it.
Vineeth: The promotion is applicable only on New condition
Me:The Promotion does not state anywhere that is has to be the New Condition.
Vineeth: Amazon promotional codes can only be redeemed once per customer
condition 1
Me: (quoted promo rectrictions)
Vineeth: as the product is pre-owned
The promotion might have been been redeemed by the owner.

Amazon Warehouse Deals are treated as a 3rd party seller, to my knowledge. It is handled separately from just buying directly from the main Amazon.com listing.

Promotion stayed up when selecting the warehouse and would disappear is I select a different seller.

I am going to guess you bought that game for the promotion, which means if you are still able to cancel, you should cancel it.

Sadly the game will be here tomorrow. I actually wanted the game.

As much as I hate to say it. This is on their website and definitely should be noted by everyone:

Amazon.com Promotional Terms & Conditions

These are terms and conditions that commonly apply to promotions on Amazon, including ones where you must redeem a promotional code as part of the offer. The applicable product detail page may contain additional terms and conditions that add to what you see on this page.

• Amazon reserves the right to modify or cancel the offer at any time.
• Offer applies only to new products sold and shipped by Amazon.com or digital content sold and delivered by Amazon Digital Services LLC (other than certain limited Kindle book titles).

I'm amazed on how people don't read or contact that source if there could possible be a doubt. If im buying an used product and I want the item, that should be my red flag....contact Amazon and have them confirm you will have he promo code.

If you bought it used you do not qualify the promo cause the used item is not sold by amazon (fulfilled by amazon not the same thing). Item has to be sold by amazon directly.

sadly it was sold and shipped by amazon.

Ok I see the amazon warehouse one but that also listed under the "fulfilled by amazon" but anyways that used copy is only $2 cheaper then a new one (the one i see) so why not get the new one instead? Was saving $2 worth going through all this hassle?

Just buy a 60 day FFXIV gamecard or a $20 PSN card and you should receive instantly you dlc code on your e-mail registered with them.
If by any chance you still don't receive your code you can contact them through live chat (not e-mail) and they should give it to you right away!
Just make sure your order for dlc code on the order summary before placing your order.
But hurry up because promtion ends next Monday.
