How to Get Cheaper Hearthstone Packs - Buy Amazon Coins!
Everyone wants card packs, and we all wish they were cheaper - they are! Amazon is constantly running promotions via their Underground App Store on Android which allows you to use a special currency called Amazon Coins to buy digital goods in your favourite mobile games.
Amazon is always running promotional discounts (5-25%) on purchasing the coins, which alone makes buying packs cheaper than from the regular Hearthstone shop. The real deal comes in though where Amazon refunds you back some of your coins after you make a purchase! Talk about #Value.
Note: All links to Amazon on this page use Amazon Affiliate Links. When you purchase Amazon Coins through them this helps support the site!
Requirements
- An Amazon account in a region which supports the discounts.
- A credit card or gift card to buy the Amazon Coins on the site.
- An Android tablet or phone capable of installing Hearthstone via Amazon Underground App Store. An Android emulator on your PC can also be used.
Active Amazon Deals
Last updated October 13, 2017
- Up to 21% Off Amazon Coins - A promotion going on currently where Amazon Coins are cheaper than normal.
How it Works
- Amazon Coins have a value (in the US) of 100 Coins per $1.
- Buying Amazon Coins gives you a discount depending on how much money you're willing to spend. Spend more, get a bigger discount.
- Throughout the year, Amazon runs additional promotions for some titles which gives you Amazon Coins spent back to your Amazon account so you can spend them again. This has gone as high as 20% coins back.
- After buying Amazon Coins, you load up Hearthstone on your Android device that you downloaded from the Amazon Underground App Store and visit the normal in-game shop. Here you can spend your Amazon Coins. Buy larger bundles of cards to get the usual discounts for buying in bulk!
Frequently Asked Questions
Which devices are eligible for the promotion?
This is currently only available on the Android platform. You may use an emulator on PC.
Why can I not spend my Amazon Coins? Prices are in my normal local currency.
You need to install Hearthstone via the Amazon Underground App Store, not Google Play.
I've already completed my collection, is it worth buying discounted coins?
Of course! Coins don't expire so it's worth buying them on discount and then spending them on a future Hearthstone expansion or adventure.

Posted Nov 7, 2017 (Marin's Treasure)This was really only a great deal when the Buy Back promos were going on and the 20% discount was on the $100 coin option. You would get $100 worth of value for $70. Now to get close to that, you need to purchase the $500 bundle. I haven't seen the coin buy back promo in a loooooong time (prior to Un'Goro?).
So with a pre-order and a 40 pack bundle, you would get 90 packs for roughly $70 bucks. That was a great deal - probably the best deal on Hearthstone packs.

Posted Nov 4, 2017 (Triggered)Trying to figure out how good of a deal this is currently. 100 Amazon coins is worth $1.00 and not 100 gold in Hearthstone.
From several posts in this thread, it sounds like Amazon coins are taxed when spent (depending on location), meaning you may have to buy more coins.

Posted Aug 15, 2017 (Frozen Throne)I thought this was going to be the best method at buying packs.. but when I tried it I realize that 1 pack is not worth 100 amazon coins. I tried buying 40 packs (which I assumed were worth 4000 amazon coins) but they actually cost 4999 AC. Is still a little cheaper than HS itself but a complete letdown.

Posted Oct 26, 2017 (Triggered)You will not lose any progress. All of your player data is kept on Blizzard's servers and tied to your bnet account and region, not any specific device.

Posted Jul 19, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)Are the amazon coins still worth it? given that they do tax on digital coins as well?

Posted Jul 18, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)Can you use Amazon coins with your iPhone or is it only for Android phones?
Alternatively, my wife has an Android device - presumably I could log onto Hearthstone from that device and then use the Amazon coins?

Posted Jul 20, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)Yes Android only. Install Amazon Underground and from there, install HS.
Also there are plenty Android emulators available on PC.

Posted Jul 17, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)A quarter per 10 bucks? Not worth it, if Amazon gets paid even a penny.

Posted Jul 7, 2017 (Un'Goro Launch)If you do the steps shown above and download Hearthstone via Amazon underground, when you go to purchase let's say 40 packs, you will be redirected to a new window where you will choose what to buy, the packs with money or 5000 coins. If you get the coins, they will be stored in your amazon account, then you will go back to the first window, and it will show you the option to buy packs with coins. It's pretty easy.
The problem is, the coins now aren't really cheaper. Last week they costed 36 euro for 5000 coins and now it's back to 45. Still cheaper than hearthtstone, but I will wait for them to drop again before buying coins to buy the preorder.
