Free $5 in Amazon MP3 Downloads
Amazon.com is offering $5 in free MP3 downloads if you buy a qualifying video game. However, currently the game Big Kahuna Reef both qualifies and is also free itself. Connect the dots. 
- Go to the Big Kahuna Reef page and click on “Get the game FREE”.
- You may need to enter some credit card information, but upon checkout you should confirm that it is free. Complete checkout.
- You don’t need to download it, unless you want to. Check your e-mail for one with a title of “Your Amazon.com Promotional Credit”. You will NOT receive a special code, but it should indicate that you have a $5 credit towards Amazon MP3s that will automatically be applied to your next purchase.
- Go to the MP3 section and try to buy something you like. The first $5 should be free.
I just did this and am listening to my free music right now in hassle-free .mp3 format. Credit to nikkai from FW. Note: It will ask you to install the AmazonMP3 Downloader software, but you can go to “skip” this for individual songs. Entire album purchases may require installation.

Confirmed twice over. Thanks for the link.
Amazon is not losing money with me on this, for sure. It’s not a small number how much I’ve spent on mp3s from them!

You don’t need to download the installer.

Worked just fine, and yes you do NOT need to download the installer.

No need to download the mp3 downloader, just click the skip this link.

You guys are right, for individual songs you can skip the download. But for albums I think you have to download it.

They may have fixed it. As of 9:32 PM (Pacific), it didn’t work…

I thought it didn’t work, but apparently it just takes a little bit for the email to come. Worked like a charm!
