@Pezzie  Legit, if you paid with a Discover card. It's their current promotion. Google it.

Edited to add: I should have stated that promotion was going on in my Amazon account. I talked to a friend after I posted this and according to her it's not the same for every Amazon customer. ?

Also, as others mentioned I didn't have to click to get it but I did get an email that looked just like yours. The next time I went to order from Amazon they had applied the credit without me doing anything. This was in just the past couple of weeks or so.

I got a similiar email  a couple of years ago and ordered a shirt that didn't fit right so I lost the credit.

but I think the main thing is you don't have to click on the link to get to amazon 

remember it has to be sold by amazon.com or amazon digital services like it says in the small print  not clothing from a third party

amazon usually sends me an email about once a year to get 10.00 off on a 100.00 of an item sold by Amazon not a third party

I get legit emails from amazon that say hello without my name

@Pezzie 

As a ‘fan’ and a frequent Amazon customer, I have received several that are legitimate.  They are addressed to me at my correct email addy.

No matter, as you’ve already deleted it.

I've received several notices of credit from Amazon, but never have been asked to 'click here,' to activate the credit.  

All my notifications have listed the amount of credit, with shopping categories where credit would be eligible.  They state that the amount will automatically be applied to purchases, with a time line for when the credit will expire. I actually have one now.  

I've had to do nothing. In fact, when looking at eligible items it will show the amount I would have to pay, minus the credit.

Rule of thumb: Never click on a link in your email. Go directly to the website.

best way to deal with this in the future

call or live chat with Amazon and they will help

@Pezzie Legit??  I have no idea.  But $10,000 couldn't convince me to click the link,

[bonnielu]

No doubt a scam since your name is not included.  They do have a customer service and they will help you.  Also you can actually forward that message to Amazon.  I know QVC does not want email addresses here so you may just have to Google the address or go to their website to find it.  I will add that everytime I have had any issue they were very helpful and there was never a problem.  These days they may be short on staff.  Mailing has been big issue.  

I am a big fan of Amazon. Ebay in my honest opinion is not as regulated and I have had problems with sellers.  And when I tried to be one of those sellers I had lots of problems with dishonest buyers. Stories I could tell!

@Pezzie It says you made a purchase of apparel; it doesn't specify what you bought. It's probably fake. Call Amazon and ask. This email is probably just as fake as the robocall supposedly from Amazon saying someone has just used your Amazon account to purchase an iPhone XR for $749. In other words, to answer your question, probably not.

Email 101

Do not EVER click on any link or tab in an email no matter how legit it may appear.  You should contact the sender to confirm that this was a legitimate offer sent to you and if so claim it on their website not via your email.  

Besides companies should know about these rampant scams and not send an email requesting that you click on something in the first place.
