My wife had me buy our nephew a SpaceNavigator for Christmas, so I used Amazon to get it.

Much to my surprise, I saw this in email:

Dear Amazon.com Customer,

As someone who purchased $25 worth of products from Amazon's Music or Electronics Stores between November 28, 2008 and December 25, 2008, you've qualified for a $5 promotional credit good for music downloads from Amazon MP3, Amazon.com's digital music service.

To redeem your $5 credit, simply click the "Buy MP3" or "Buy MP3 album" button on any MP3 detail page. Your credit card will not be charged for Amazon MP3 music downloads until your $5 credit has been used or expires. Each time you make an additional Amazon MP3 purchase by January 31, 2009, we will automatically apply your promotional credit until you have used its full $5 value. You'll see the promotional credit applied to your purchase in your purchase confirmation e-mail.

In order to redeem your credit for Amazon MP3 downloads, you must accept the Terms of Use for Amazon MP3. Taxes apply in some states. Credit valid for Amazon MP3 downloads only--not for other Amazon.com merchandise. Your $5 Amazon MP3 credit must be redeemed by January 31, 2009.

Amazon MP3 music downloads play on virtually any MP3 player, including iPods and Zunes. Downloading from Amazon MP3 is quick and easy, and MP3s are automatically added to your music management application of choice when you use the Amazon MP3 Downloader. Try it out and get the music you love, with $5 off your purchases on us.

Visit our store at http://www.amazon.com/mp3

Thank you,
Amazon.com

I checked their website, and sure enough, it is legit.

Wow. Cool.

So if you're buying electronics or music through Amazon this year, you can use the $5 download credit to help promote Second Life music by buying through music through Amazon.

If I had known about this earlier, I'd certainly have mentioned it in my fun promo on The Beat Chicks Podcast with Hopalicious Clary.

The other way is a promotion Pepsi is having with Amazon.

5 Pepsi Points = one download.

I'm not sure what the limitations are on this promotion, but if anybody's managed to cash in Pepsi Points for downloads of SL music, please let me know in the comments.

(The gallery for Amazon downloads is in the mall at Selby, or you can go to the http://riaa.isfullofcrap.com/ website and look for the Amazon links.
