First, visit Amazon Music Unlimited to start the sign-up process.

You can find the promotional sign-up on the main Amazon Music Unlimited page.

Choose the Individual plan, then click "Enter promo code" before joining.

The Individual Plan option will charge your $3 for three months of access to Amazon Music Unlimited, a nice trial period for your new Echo Dot.

You should see this box after entering the code, then click "Join Now."

After signing up, manually add the new Echo Dot to your cart and proceed to check out.

Find the Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Gen) and pick the color you want — it comes in charcoal, heather gray, and sandstone.

Make sure your cart shows your promotional balance of $48.99.

Finish checking out — and wait for your Echo Dot to ship!

Once your order is complete, you should be all set. My order, which I completed on November 19th, said the Echo Dot would likely arrive between November 29th and December 4th.

While Amazon Music Unlimited subscriptions can be cancelled at any time, you should probably keep the subscription active until after your receive your Echo Dot.
