<p>Announced this week, Amazon will no longer offer a 20% discount on game preorders as of August 28, 2018. On August 28, Amazon will start offering a $10 promotional credit with full-priced preorders, hitting user accounts after the order has been fulfilled. There are some caveats. The $10 offer will be available on &#8220;select&#8221; preorders [&#8230;]</p>

<p>Announced this week, Amazon will no longer offer a 20% discount on game preorders as of August 28, 2018. On August 28, Amazon will <a href="https://www.amazon.com/b/ref=as_li_ss_tl?node=17911060011&amp;=vg63_primevideogames_tc_lp_em&amp;j=6917">start offering</a> a $10 promotional credit with full-priced preorders, hitting user accounts after the order has been fulfilled.</p>
<p>There are some caveats. The $10 offer will be available on &#8220;select&#8221; preorders instead of all preorders. This means Amazon will pick and choose which preorders will receive the credit.</p>
<p>In addition, Amazon has up to 35 days to send the credit to a user&#8217;s email address. Once the credit is received, the user has to spend it on Amazon within 60 days or the credit expires.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s likely that Amazon&#8217;s shift in this discount policy is related to the discontinuation of Best Buy&#8217;s Gamers Club Unlocked program. That service also offered a 20 percent discount on preorders and was replaced with a similar $10 credit system on select games, pretty much identical to Amazon.</p>
<p>Interestingly, several popular, upcoming titles are currently unavailable on Amazon for preorder including games like Spider-Man and Red Dead Redemption 2. It&#8217;s possible Amazon is holding off on preorder functionality on some titles until after August 28th.</p>
<p>You can still find the preorder discount on titles like <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fallout-76-PlayStation-4/dp/B07DD9571S/">Fallout 76</a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-Bros-Ultimate-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01N5OKGLH/">Super Smash Bros. Ultimate</a>, ideal if you want to save more money than the $10 credit. The 20 percent discount will be available on all video game preorders for the next week.</p>
