Update 7/5/17 6:00PM : I just received word that this same promotion is going to be available again on Friday, July 7 for one more day only on the Amazon Appstore.

Hi Everyone - 

I just wanted to give a quick heads up that Marvel Puzzle Quest has an exclusive 1-day promotion for 50% off VIP memberships for today only (July 5).  To participate, you will need to log into an Amazon enabled device to purchase the VIP via the Amazon Appstore storefront.  This promotion is for Amazon Appstore users only but players can expect other storefront specific promotions from time to time with the various storefronts in the future.

For those that have previously played Marvel Puzzle Quest on an Amazon enabled device and currently have VIP in Marvel Puzzle Quest, we will be sending an in-game gift to you as you will be unable to participate in this promotion today.

Thank you!

    I laughed out loud. Nice way to address the complaints about the hidden bonuses for certain players.

    Pretty cool this promotion comes for the already cheapest store by far, but expecting it to be an Amazon offer, not an MPQ offer.

    This is the price it should have been since the beginning.  What you get isn't worth $10 despite what D3 thinks the ridiculous value of their digital goods are.  For $5, you get a small boost in iso/HP, some low tier tokens, and a Legendary token that has the chance for only the latest 12 NON-VAULTED 4*s and 3 of the NON-VAULTED 5*s.  I am not counting the increased heal rate since it's still so slow to not matter to the majority of players.

    I shall look forward to the offer aimed at people who already are VIP.

    It IS an amazon offer.  You think demi is paying for this?  Nah, amazon is paying a premium per capita just to get players into their storefront. . .

    Do you know if this applies to all countries, or if it's just a US promotion? I'll check my Fire tablet on the 7th (I'm in the UK), just wondered if anyone outside the US has tried.

    This is a worldwide promotion and will run again tomorrow if you haven't participated yet.  If you come across any issues, please message our support team and PM me your ticket number and player name.  Thanks.

    Thanks for leaving PC users out again.  You do remember that we exist, right?  Because between the bugs, your customer support email system only sending instructions on how to troubleshoot for mobile, and constantly being left out on promotions, it sure doesn't feel that way.

    Funny how customers who have issues with making purchases can get such great personalized service and support, yet those of us who have had legitimate bugs for over a year now go ignored.  Even though we have spent a small fortune on the game already.

    Hi @sinburn. I'm sorry to hear that you feel like you've been ignored. That's certainly not our intention.

    If you have specific instances you'd like to reference, please feel free to start a thread in the Bugs & Technical Issues section, so Tombstone can assist you. Alternatively, if you feel you are experiencing a critical issue, you can also private message me for assistance.

    Android here. Uninstalled the app, reinstalled via Amazon App Store, no sign of the offer. Any tips?

    Edit: opened the app after a while and showed me the discount on VIP. Works like a charm.

    Thanks LakeStone. I signed in with my Fire tablet and was able to get the offer. FYI, the price point in the UK is £3.99 - not bad at all, and considering that I was going to treat myself to VIP this month anyway, this offer couldn't have come at a better time!

    Can anyone confirm they received this gift? I have played sparingly on my Kindle Fire but I don't believe I received anything.

    I got 600 hp earlier, but I don't play through the Amazon Appstore currently.  I have in the past, though, and definitely bought VIP at least once through Amazon.

    Meanwhile; in Australia we are paying over 30% more after applying the conversion rate. 

    Wrote CS will a reply saying they would bump it up to management, but that was more than a week ago. Maybe @Brigby you can remind them, not to forget that the diffenerent costs and 'deals' across platforms and regions are not going down so well.

    @spectator oh I know, makes me second guess spending on the game when things become that stilted
