MapQuest has partnered with MLB.com for a promotion which should land you 449 Amazon coins for $1.99, a profit of 250 coins. If you’ve got some free Appstore credit from the promotions last month that is about to expire, this is a great way to convert some of it into Amazon coins and potentially make a 250 coin profit in the process. You will need an Android smartphone with the Amazon Appstore installed to take part in this promotion, so if you’ve got one then read on.
Promotion Instructions
- Download the free MapQuest app from the Amazon Appstore on your smartphone
- Launch the MapQuest app, and enter the MLB.com Team Shop from within the app
(You should see a full screen promotion with a button at the bottom as soon as you launch MapQuest) - Choose any team and purchase their $1.99 team kit
(If you have both Amazon Coins and Amazon Appstore Credit in your account, choose to use coins at checkout. Amazon will still use your Appstore Credit instead of coins.) - At checkout, the app will say that you will earn 60 coins. You will instead receive at least 199 coins due to the current promotion. However most people, including ourselves, are receiving 449 coins for the purchase.
- Make the most out of your free coins by picking up these games on sale for $0.99, several are 86% off. [Optional, of course]
It is unclear right now why most people are receiving an extra 250 coins. Amazon has been running a long time promotion which rewards you 250 coins for your first purchase of select apps. We, like many others receiving the extra 250 coins with this MapQuest promotion, have received our “first purchase” reward long ago so it is unclear if the extra 250 coins here are related. Even if you only receive the minimum reward of 199 coins for $1.99, it is a great way to convert Appstore Credit into Amazon Coins since Appstore Credit tends to expire 1 month after acquisition and Amazon Coins expire 1 year after acquisition. The Appstore credit from last months promotions (i.e., $10 for buying a gift card, $5 for buying a PC game, $3 for buying an MP3) are due to expire July 31st.

I was skeptical, but it worked. Got my 449 coins immediately.
worked perfectly!
Thanks, worked for me :) Is there anywhere to see your history of in app purchased and the coins you received for a particular purchase (before and after totals)?
You can see your app history here:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/your-account/myapps?tag=ftvn-20&sort=b
If you click the “Actions” button for an app you can see the in-app purchases. Unfortunately there is nowhere that shows a list of the free credits and coins you’ve received.
Yup, same here. 449 coins just a few minutes after the purchase.
No luck. They must hate the Red Sox.
All I get when I select MLB.com Team Shop is a msg “Something didn’t work right…try again?” And of course trying again doesn’t work.
Worked great, thank you!
Can I do it more than once?
Edit: Just tried doing it again and it didn’t worked, lmao
What didn’t work? you didnt get 449 coins? Or you were unable to conver 199 in credit into 199 coins?
Will this work for Canadians?
Spent $1.99 promotional credit and got 449 coins added to my account. Great!
Yes it worked for me…
I got the 199 coins, but not the extra 250. :-(
Cannot access MLB.com team shop it brings me to the map directly
If you have an ad blocker on your phone, try disabling it and restarting your phone.
Anyone know if this is still working?
Answered my own question. Yes it is still working and yes I got the extra 250 coins.
Awesome! Thanks for the update.
