It can be issued to an account as a response to poor service by the company, any sort of complaint resolution, as a thank you etc.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sometime, you may receive an email notification informing you about the courtesy credit in your Amazon account. However, in some cases, it just gets added to your account with no prior intimation at all.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Amazon courtesy credit is different than an Amazon Gift Card or Amazon Promotional balance. Hence the courtesy credit and the gift card or promotional credit&nbsp;may not combine and apply to the same order but in some cases, they do work in tandem.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Some users received <strong>Courtesy Credit<\/strong> balance&nbsp;to make up for a late delivery while some others got it for delays that occurred during placing an order or maybe as a way to pacify the customer\u2019s disappointment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To put things simply, Amazon courtesy credit is given out as part of promotions that are run by the E-tailer or as an apology to aggrieved customers. Whom to give this credit is completely at Amazon\u2019s internal policies and discretions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#eeeeee\" class=\"has-background\"><strong>Do you know? <a href=\"https:\/\/zerodollartips.com\/how-to-send-an-amazon-gift-card\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"How to Send an Amazon Gift Card to Someone Else in 2020\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-theme-primary-color\">How to Send an Amazon Gift Card to Someone Else<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Get_Amazon_Courtesy_Credit_Balance\"><\/span>How to Get Amazon Courtesy Credit Balance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier Amazon courtesy credit is a discretionary tool used by the company and hence it isn\u2019t easily available to everyone. Moreover, if you ordered a product which is fulfilled and delivered by Amazon with <span style=\"color: #000000;\">Amazon next day delivery<\/span> but you didn\u2019t receive the product on time then you are most likely eligible to get Amazon courtesy credit balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you order a product with gift wrapping and if it arrives without a wrap or you have a bad experience with the customer service team then you are also eligible for receiving the <strong>Courtesy Credit on&nbsp;Amazon<\/strong> however it is a specific rule as to when the Amazon courtesy credit is supposed to be given out and it completely depends on the agent you get assigned or to the one who is handling your query.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, it varies from $1 to $50 courtesy credit. But in most cases, a <strong>$5<\/strong> or <strong>$10<\/strong> or <strong>$20<\/strong> Amazon courtesy credit is applied to a customers account if their delivery is way past the due date and depending on the severity of the delay a courtesy credit is given out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"657\" height=\"561\" src=\"https:\/\/zerodollartips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/what-is-amazon-courtesy-credit.png\" alt=\"what is amazon courtesy credit\" class=\"wp-image-16335\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zerodollartips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/what-is-amazon-courtesy-credit.png 657w, https:\/\/zerodollartips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/what-is-amazon-courtesy-credit-176x150.png 176w, https:\/\/zerodollartips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/what-is-amazon-courtesy-credit-300x256.png 300w, https:\/\/zerodollartips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/what-is-amazon-courtesy-credit-70x60.png 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 657px) 100vw, 657px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I hope the above explanation helped you in getting the answer to your questions &#8211; What is <strong>Amazon courtesy credit balance<\/strong> and how to get it?
