Luckily I've bought it before the price increase. With 80 Euro I've bought the Un'Goro preorder and 40 Classic cards, and had enough coins left to get 12 more Old Gods cards out of 2pack bundles. Now with 80 Euro I can get only 2 40pack bundles. Sucks a little. Still cheaper than the store
New price increase. It's now $47.00 for 5,000 coins. With the hidden tax, I'll be buying directly from Blizzard this time if it doesn't go back down in the next couple days. It is literally no cheaper than buying direct now. The only real deal is $375 for 50,000 coins but how many people can afford to spend that much all at once?

Same for me, now. I found the game to be more buggy when I DL'd from Amazon so I have to uninstall, re-DL, then uninstall and get it from Google Play once it's all done. Not worth the hassle for an extra pack or 2.
The Amazon apps version of Hearthstone works just fine on my Android phone (Redmi Note 3). No issues with that at all. Also, am waiting for them to drop the price of 5000 coins back down to $41 or so so I can buy it. And the 500 coins that you get back after the preorder, you can get another 5 packs using those 500 coins, so that's 55 packs. I've even seen them reduce the cost of 5k coins down to $39. Let's see what happens in the next 10 days. I can even get the preorder on the last day :)
Has anyone pre-ordered this new expansion using Amazon coins? Just wondering, because I heard in the past that you weren't able to pre-order through amazon, but only through blizzard site.
100% can confirm that you can purchase this using amazon coins.
Source: I did it.
Just keep in mind that you may be charged your state/local tax when purchasing via amazon, so it may cost a little more than 4999 coins (probably around 5200) but of course that varies state to state.
Is 500 coins promo US only? Can't see anything on UK Amazon. 10,000 coins promo for £82 quid seems fairly decent if pre order is 3,500 coins. I'll be able to buy 40 more packs for 4,500 coins and have 1,000 coins left over for 7 more packs... so 97 packs for £82 pound. 0.84p per pack

I saw this price increase too. It sucks because before even when new expansions came out, it was usually 5,000 amazon coins for $42, which was a great deal. Oh well, I will probably buy it straight from Blizzard to save the headache.
I bought for the first time 5,000 coins for $47.50 yesterday and when I purchased the Un'goro expansion I was given back a promotion of 1,387 coins, which is around a ~27.70% payback.
I'm not sure why that is, but perhaps they are giving back more due to the price increase?
If you live outside the USA, I recommend changing state and zip address to Oregon(OR) for the buys to avoid the unfair tax.
Also Make sure you log in to the correct Hearthstone server (Europe,US etc.) before using your coins.

Are you 100% sure that's 1387 coins and they're from the Un'Goro promo they have going on?

I don't know if they have another hidden promo going on or not, but I bought the Un'goro expansion yesterday and on the invoice it said;

And I do have those coins remaining on my account.
Wow that's amazing. Can you confirm me this, it seems they deducted 1387 coins from the 4999 while you placed the order and only 3612 coins were deducted from your coins balance. I preordered Un'Goro for a friend an hour before your first post, and as of right now, they've straight away deduced 4999 coins from my coins balance. And my invoice reads...

Maybe it's a first time buyer promotion or something, since you said you bought Amazon coins for the first time. That's the only thing that's different between your and my account :)
where do you change your address to oregon? in your credit card info?
No. Click on "Your Account" and then "Manage Address Book" and then add an Oregon address to your default address and also make it the default address in your "1-Click Settings".
5000 Coins for $47.50 at the moment and looks to be that way until the expansion drops on Thursday. I might not even go through the hassle of downloading an emulator just for the 500 coins and just save myself a headache unless the Coin price drops for the 50 packs by tomorrow.
Sure enough, with the update ready I uninstalled hs and downloaded it from amazon so I'm good to go if I do the coin deal tomorrow. Open, unpack, sign in and it's busted. Keeps looping telling me I need to dl the latest version. Amazon app store just isn't worth the hassle.
I have it set up on my real phone, Android, with TunnelBear VPN, Amazon Underground app, and Hearthstone installed via that. Am waiting for them to reduce the cost. Fingers crossed it happens before Un'Goro releases later tonight.

I preordered with Amazon it saved me 12 packs in money. I bought only 5k coins
Even with the price increase you still get 500 coins back.
wtf they are now discounted by only 3%? anyone else see this? are they just milking the expansion release?

Any better pre-order deals?
