It's certainly possible in some countries outside the US (I'm in the UK and have done it), but I seem to recall that Amazon coins aren't usable in some countries.
Is it the downloading and installing from the Amazon appstore that's the problem or actually using the coins once you've installed the game? The first part should be straightforward once you've got the appstore on your phone or tablet.
I tried to install HS via Amazon Appstore on my phone but I couldn't. By the way recently I just contacted Amazon customer service. Turns out I couldn't download or install the hearthstone app in my country (I live in Indonesia). So the problem is not about the coins (Glad I haven't buy them yet).
So I'm asking if someone here know how to bypass the download/install restriction?
If you've never used coins before, be aware that Amazon taxes them. They don't tax the purchase of the coins themselves, they impose a tax on whatever in-game items you purchase with the coins. Your 5,000 coins will be just shy of enough for the pre-order, and you can only pay the tax in coins. If it still didn't work out to be a good deal I'd stop using them because it's a very underhanded business practice.

Same thing happened to me. Am from India, and I had Amazon US account and Amazon Hearthstone all set up. I had bought packs before with Amazon coins on my US account. Had the address set to Mississippi state where there was no tax before Feb 2017. Now, when I go to pre-order Un'Goro, it's asking for 350 more coins.
So what I did was I changed my address to another one from Oregon state, and now when I go to pre-order Un'Goro, the 350 tax is gone, and it's just asking for 5000 coins :D Haven't pre-ordered yet. Waiting for a better deal.
By the way, am using TunnelBear as US proxy while accessing Amazon Underground apps on my phone :)
Edit: Damnit, they just increased the price of 5000 Amazon coins from $42 to $43 :|
Well, they accepted my CC. I think it's an international card or something, I don't know. But my CC works with US Amazon. Already bought packs last time with the Mississippi address.
I tried the link for the German site with a German VPN and Adress, but I get the error that something went wrong. Is the deal expired or what am I doing wrong?
Same thing is happening to me. I guess somehow they are realizing we're not Germans :P Anyways, I e-mailed them the problem (coz chat is only available in German), and they replied back stating that this problem cannot be solved via e-mail and that I should call them on the German Amazon customer care number, which I obviously cannot do coz it will be an international call and will be too costly for me :P
So, as of right now, the US Amazon Coins offer is the only one available. If someone finds out another offer, please do mention here. That would be great :)
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.
I was able to pre order. my Amazon account shows my digital order for the un'goro package but it hasn't taken any of my coins or shown that it is purchased in game. anyone know if it waits for launch to finish the transaction and take the coins?

NO. It completes the transaction and in-game, it should show 50 packs in your "Open Packs" section, ready to be opened later.
I too saw the 500 coin back in the app and looked in my inbox for the receipt and thought I got shorted on the 500 coin back. But I check my transactions on Amazon and it confirms I did get it. They just didn't send me an email. Check your Amazon transactions...
I can also confirm this works. Got my 500 coins back. Hearthstone is downloaded through the amazon appstore on my galaxy s6.

Nice. Am waiting for a better offer. This offer is valid till 5th April, and if I don't find anything better, then am definitely going for this. I did notice though that they increased the price of 5000 Amazon coins from $42 to $43 :|
Im also surprised. Hope not to much people do this. It's like throwing money in a slot machine, a bad habit. You quickly lose track of how much money you actually spend
That actually is true. It's becoming an addiction, maybe? But I love opening packs and 50 packs guarantee a few legendaries and epics and you mostly get all rares and common cards and enough dust to craft the important cards.
The main thing is, I can afford it and derive a LOT of fun out of Hearthstone, so for me it's totally worth it :)
Edit: Another important thing, I don't have time to grind coz of my job, so all in all, it's a big plus in my books. Plus, can't beat that price. It's the BEST time/deal to invest, if you can and want to :)
Edit II: Oh by the way, I still haven't decided yet. Waiting for them to release more info about cards. I'll only invest if it's totally worth it, like MSoG :)
Turns out since I reside outside USA, I couldn't download HS via amazon appstore and use coins.
Anyone know how to deal with this?

So the problem is not about the coins (Glad I haven't buy them yet).

1. Download BlueStacks android emulator
2. Download Amazon Underground
3. Make a US amazon account
4. Put a valid credit card/ gift card
5. Download HS from amazon appstore
6. Buy packs!*
*You will have to pay state tax if any*
My Recruit url for those who want dem packs! https://battle.net/recruit/CDF2JMK6CQ?blzcmp=raf-hs&s=HS&m=pc

amazon only accept us visa & master.
Spanish here! Any deal from Amazon.es?
Hey Op I hope you can see this. I was able to buy it with amazon coins through the ingame shop. Its even cheaper
FOR THE HORDE!
I checked today, they reduced the price of 5000 Amazon coins back down to $42 :D
So, 55 packs for $42 is pretty good :) That's 76 cents a pack :)
Ilol ppl actually really pay money for packs
