To get credit for yesterdays downtime your going to have to jump threw a few hoops. (they should make this automated for everyone because it was a system wide failure)
Credit Request and Payment Procedures
To receive a Service Credit, you must submit a request by sending ane-mail message to aws-sla-request @ amazon.com. To be eligible, thecredit request must (i) include your account number in the subject ofthe e-mail message (the account number can be found at the top of theAWS Account Activity page); (ii) include, in the body of the e-mail,the dates and times of each incident of non-zero Error Rates that youclaim to have experienced; (iii) include your server request logs thatdocument the errors and corroborate your claimed outage (anyconfidential or sensitive information in these logs should be removedor replaced with asterisks); and (iv) be received by us within ten (10)business days after the end of the billing cycle in which the errorsoccurred. If the Monthly Uptime Percentage applicable to the month ofsuch request is confirmed by us and is less than 99.9%, then we willissue the Service Credit to you within one billing cycle following themonth in which the error occurred. Your failure to provide the requestand other information as required above will disqualify you fromreceiving a Service Credit.

Form letter to make it easy for people:
To:
aws-sla-request@amazon.com
Dear Amazon,
Please issue the credit under your SLA.
Account number: xxxxxxx
Outage: July 20th for 7 hours
Although your terms indicated that proof is required, I am sure in this instance, as it was site wide, you would have these logs already. It is also listed at
http://status.aws.amazon.com/ under that date.
7 hours is almost 1% of the number of hours in July - so it was down more than 0.1% of the month.
Regards,
Customer Name
P.S. normally your service is brilliant and I am happy with S3 so don't get disheartened and keep up the good work.

For this particular event, we'll be waiving our standard SLA process and applying the appropriate service credit to all affected customers for the July billing period. Customers will not need to send us an e-mail to request their credits, as these will be automatically applied. This transaction will be reflected in our customers' August billing statements.
For a more complete update about this event, please refer to the Service Health Dashboard:
