NewEgg Winter Wonderland sale

Amazon Germany is currently running a new promotion until February 28 in 2019. IF you are a NEW USER of the Amazon app (first time to sign into an Amazon app using your particular Amazon account), AND you make a 25+ euro purchase, then you will receive a 10 euro promotional store credit in your Amazon account.

To see the details, how to do this, and to see whether your account is eligible for this offer, check the Promotional page while being logged on to your account. YMMV on who’s eligible… The offer is not restricted to Prime members… Your Amazon account must have been created prior to Nov-15 in 2018 [presumably to prevent Slickdeals-style tricks of creating dozens of accounts?]…
