This fraudulent and extremely dysfunctional "program" ends today. I paid $50 to giveaway my e-book two years ago and the last time, over 450 people clicked on it and not a single person won a book due to a "set-up problem" not of my making. This was my fourth attempt to run a giveaway. It has never worked. In two years, $50, I have given away all of two books. I have yet to get my refund. I am posting the information I received from Amazon. If you tried, you may be interested in the information. I say good riddance and I am looking forward to my refund.

"Hello,

After careful consideration, Amazon Giveaway is retiring. Thank you for participating in the program. Our records show that you have credits from previous eBook giveaways. These credits can be used to create new giveaways until October 10, 2019 and customers can enter giveaways until October 17, 2019. You can also download any remaining eBook credits as Kindle claim codes from the Amazon Giveaway dashboard. Claim codes do not expire, and can be gifted through social media channels, or directly to fans, followers, friends, or family members.

Any unused credits that are not downloaded as claim codes will be refunded by November 30, 2019.

To find your giveaway credits, look for giveaways with the “Use prizes in a new giveaway” button, under the “Completed” tab on the Host Dashboard.

You can still buy eBooks as a gift to share with your readers at an event, via social media, or through a newsletter. For more information, please visit: https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/top....
