And my favourite part: "To receive a Service Credit, you must submit a claim by opening a case in the AWS Support Center." -- for a company that has built itself on automation, surely you could automate some bill credits based on the SLA.
Many companies don't give out refunds and you have to proactively request. (alas my employer's value prop, in a completely different industry of course)
There's logic behind the complicated rules. The idea is that you can't cause the calculated availability to go down by generating lots of requests when the service is down.
This is all part of their campaign to get Shopify to drop Breitbart News.

I can confirm that Avaaz are a great organization. They're very effective (but mostly unknown in the US), professional, and it'd be an honor to work with them.
Happy to answer any questions. (I'm not now or have ever been on staff, but am a "member", and consider myself friends with many on their team)
I think they may need to clean up or edit their Wikipedia page. For example, in the See Also section "Slacktivism" is one of the links and in general reading the page gives a pretty bad impression. I totally believe what you're saying but when someone (like me) who doesn't know anything about Avaaz and tries to get a third-party independent view of them it doesn't look pretty.
