[Deal] Amazon offering $5 credit when installing the Prime Instant Video app

Getting a $5 credit to rent movies and television shows from Amazon could not be any easier. Now through June 14, the online retailer will reward people with a $5 Instant Video credit when downloading the Prime Instant Video app. The Prime Instant Video app comes as an external download from the Amazon app. So it’s not actually as quick as it may seem.

Here is Amazon’s email to customers:

Dear Justin Herrick,

For a limited time, you’ll receive a $5 credit to use on eligible Amazon Instant Video rentals and purchases when you download the Prime Instant Video App from the Amazon App for Android Phones by 11:59 p.m. PST on June 14, 2015. Terms and conditions apply. See details. Within 7 days of downloading the app, you will receive an email with a claim code and instructions on how to redeem your Amazon Instant Video credit.

With the Prime Instant Video app, Amazon customers can rent or purchase and instantly watch new release movies including Interstellar, Into The Woods and Gone Girl as well as the entire Star Wars saga, along with shows like The Walking Dead, Scandal and Better Call Saul.
