The last Great on Kindle credit that I received had a *short* (IMO) 30-day validity. Use it or lose it, I guess. This was the first I knew of the "Great on Kindle" existence so it was a pleasant surprise to get the credit. With all Amazon credits I err on the side of caution and try to use as soon as possible.

*EDIT to add info from Amazon website*

I stopped showing any books with credits. Still seeing Great on Kindle books advertised. Just no credits when purchased.

I went and looked at a couple and it's showing me they come with credits. If it shows that, but doesn't give it to you at checkout, you need to contact support.

Thanks, I don’t have current credit, just any new purchase doesn’t include it on any books I saw. Could be a glitch in the matrix.

I find it's extremely hit-or-miss whether a book has a Great for Kindle credit.

More miss than hit.

that's what I see too, so I think the books you were looking at were in the rather large "miss" pile.

I already own that so I think that is why I don't see it on that one.

Thanks, I must have always hit as usually it is 50 cents or higher depending on the cost. I finally got to the miss pile!!

I also own this ebook "Sapiens", purchased in March 2016, and I am still seeing the "Great on Kindle" box in the detailed description. Funny, it didn't have anything about Great on Kindle then, and in fact I never saw anything about Great on Kindle before and now I'm seeing it on all kinds of books now...

[binaryhermit]

I don't think there was a "Great on Kindle" program back theb

I do see this:

Books go on or off the "Great on Kindle" all the time. The credit expiration has always been short. The credit percentage used to be higher.

It is not easy to find a list of all "Great on Kindle" books, but sometimes it happens.
