Promotion is up on Amazon

[CuteWhisper]

I am getting my boyfriend to get a video game and give me the promo code

Just got done chatting with an amazon.com representative:

Initial Question: Hello, I'm a Final Fantasy VIX player and saw that the Summer DLC promotion is currently going on. When I saw that the promotion was listed on the pre-order page for Persona 5, I figured that this would be a perfect time to pre-order it and placed the order. However, the promotion states that I have to make a purchase of $19.99 . As this is a pre-order, I have not actually paid for the item yet and am wondering whether or not the order does in fact qualify for the promotion.

03:37 AM PDT Dev(Amazon): Hello, my name is Dev. I'm here to help you today.
Hello Aphia
How are you?
03:38 AM PDT Aphia: I'm good, thank you!
03:38 AM PDT Dev: Please allow me a moment while I check this for you.
03:39 AM PDT Aphia: Sure thing!
03:40 AM PDT Dev: Thank you for your patience Aphia.
03:42 AM PDT Dev: As I have check this for you and found that on this order it is not applied yet, as in this case I will make a followup for the item, if it will not applied to your order I will issue refund of $19.99 in your original payment method.
Is this helpful for you Aphia?
03:43 AM PDT Aphia: I'm sorry, I'm not entirely sure what that means
03:44 AM PDT Aphia: Does that mean the order does not qualify for the Summer DLC Campaign?
03:45 AM PDT Dev: It will automatically apply to your order once it will ship out, I will personally take care of your order, if it will not apply to your order I will issue refund of $19.99 in your original payment method to your account once it will ship out.
03:47 AM PDT Aphia: Well the problem is that it is a pre-order for a game that will not be released until February of 2017, however the Summer DLC Campaign is only going on until the 27th of this month.
03:48 AM PDT Dev: As I have check this for you and found that you will receive your code by email within 2 business days.
03:49 AM PDT Aphia: Oh, excellent! That answered my question.
03:49 AM PDT Dev: You're most welcome and Thank you so much. I'm glad to help you today. Is there anything else I can help you with today ?


03:49 AM PDT Aphia: No, that was all! Thank you so much!
03:50 AM PDT Dev: It's my pleasure helping you today.Thank you for taking the time to contact Amazon.com. We hope to see you again soon. Have a wonderful day and take care! Bye! Please click the "End Chat" button on the top right corner of this window.

In case anyone was unsure about pre-orders.

I wonder if they considered the fact that people can just cancel the preorder and still get the code.

Pretty much the first idea that came to mind when I read that chat log.

They can easily trace this though. It depends whether they want to try hard it or not. Amazon could easily notify SE about canceled orders along with the serial key that was given out with that account/order and anyone with the related serial key in their account could be flagged for fraud. (It says that you shouldn't be selling these codes anyway so if other people get caught in it, welp.)

I personally wouldn't try it, because they could easily trace it if they wanted to.

Went ahead and bought a new controller for just under $50 (Not including shipping). While it showed the special FFXIV offer, I didn't see any indication that it was included in my order summary. Is this something I should be worried about?

Nope, it won't show anything about the special offer in your order summary. You will get the code within 2 days after placing the order.

It has to actually ship out for them to send out the email though. So an early preorder wouldn't work. So if you are banking on a item that comes out months down the road I doubt you qualify for the promotion.

Several people in this thread already contacted Amazon and confirmed you get the code within 2 business days after preordering.
