Amazon (US) coins are now $47.50 for the 5k bundle and $91 for the 10k bundle. Definitely not worth it anymore considering there's coin tax on top of the price you pay to buy packs.
I was able to pre-purchase using Amazon Coins (NA servers). Pre-purchasing costs 4999 coins, but after tax it's closer to 6k coins. I don't think it's worth the hassle. The savings are negligible especially since you pay extra coins for tax, however this is for Amazon US. I'm not sure about other countries.
Was it a savings overall or just too much of a hassle to get the expansion via Coins within the US? I am thinking about pursuing that route myself.
Back when I bought it, minimal savings. Right now, probably zero savings plus the hassle. As of July 20th 5k coins is $45.50 but there's added coin tax, so let's say you need another 500 coins ($4.90) to cover tax, that becomes $50.40 to pre-purchase using coins. Might as well pre-purchase directly from Blizzard for $49.99.
Say you bought 10k coins for $89 (July 20th price) and spend 5500 coins to pre-purchase, you'll have 4500 coins left which isn't enough to buy a 40 pack ($49.99). You could buy two 15-packs at 2000 coins each (plus coin tax) so basically 10k coins will get you 50 packs (pre-purchase) + 30 packs for a total of 80 packs.
If you bought the same 50 pack pre-purchase for $49.99 and 30 packs for $40 directly from Blizzard, that's $89.99. So for all the hassle of going through Amazon you save 99 cents.

Where do you see that info? I checked Amazon website, and it looks the same deal to me.
You won't see it on the Amazon coin purchase page, but rather in-app (Hearthstone) when you're choosing your payment method while purchasing packs. You get 10% coins back. Kind of a "meh" deal tbh because of coin tax. I got the welcome bundle for 499 coins, paid 30 coins on top of that because of tax, then got 50 coins back. The 10% coin back deal doesn't count the extra coins you spend on tax.
Can confirm, it looks like a 10% coin back deal. Too bad I've already pre-purchased. I hope the deal is still available once I'm able to spend my coins on Frozen Throne packs.
Well, the price of the 10k coin bundle went up from $88 to $89 (Amazon US). That kinda sucks because you hardly save anything versus just buying packs from the in-game shop. You have to pay coin tax whenever you use coins to purchase packs (around 350-450 coins on top of the 5k coins to buy a 40 pack). So if you want to buy 80 packs, you will need approx 11k coins. $89 for 10k coins + $9.70 for 1k coins = $98.70 Whereas if you purchase 80 packs directly from Blizzard at $49.99 per 40 packs, that's $99.98.
Wow, an incredible savings of $1.28 if you use Amazon coins!!! I have a couple of Amazon gift cards ready to spend on Amazon coins, but I'll be waiting for the price to go down (or at least a coin-back deal) before spending them.
Do you guys think any good amazon coin deals will come for the pre-purchasing of KotFT or should we just purchase it now? Right now 50k coins is going for $45.50, which is not much of a saving compared to other times.
You mean 5k coins for $45.50. It's not the best price at the moment, just last week it was around $40 for 5k coins, I should've jumped on that while I had the chance. KotFT is still a couple weeks away, so I'll wait and see if any amazon coin deal comes up before pre-purchasing.
