Easy Ways to Earn $100+ in Amazon Prime Day Credits
Ready to shop Amazon Prime Day deals? Score easy Amazon Prime Day credits with these genius ideas!
The fall version of Amazon Prime Day 2024 is officially upon us! This October 8th and 9th, Amazon will be hosting the Prime Big Deal Days event! To get you ready, we prepared a list of smart and easy ways to earn over $100 in Amazon Prime Day credits to put toward your purchases!
Be sure to bookmark our Amazon Prime Day page for all the best deals in 2024!
Here’s how you can earn easy Amazon Prime Day Credits:
1. Submit a Happy Friday story for a chance at a $10 Amazon eGift Card.
Have an awesome clearance find, a hot Walgreens haul, or an amazing deal that you’re excited about? Send your story to us via our Happy Friday page, and if we post your submission to the site, we’ll send you a $10 Amazon eGift card that you can use on Amazon Prime Day deals – SO easy!
2. Consolidate prepaid cards onto one Amazon gift card.
If you have an assortment of prepaid cards with leftover money on them, use them to reload your Amazon Gift Card and combine the smaller amounts into one lump sum to spend all in one place.
To do this, head over to Amazon’s gift card reload page and type in whatever remaining balance you have left on your card in the “$ Other” field. Add the card to your cart and head to checkout, then add that prepaid card as your form of payment. Once the transaction is complete, you can delete that card from your account.
For more instructions, check out our detailed post on how to convert Visa gift cards into Amazon cash.
*Note – the minimum amount to reload is $5
3. Redeem loose change at Coinstar for Amazon gift cards.
Want to take advantage of Amazon Prime Day deals? Empty out those pockets, crack open your piggy bank, flip the couch cushions, and bring all your loose change to the nearest Coinstar machine. Upon redemption, choose the Amazon Gift Card payout, so you receive the full value of your change and have it ready to spend during the Prime Early Access Sale!
Note that there is a minimum redemption amount of $5 when you choose the Amazon Gift Card option!
4. Score an instant gift card upon approval of an Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature card.
If you’re comfortable taking on a new credit card, Amazon is offering Prime Members a $50 Amazon gift card when they’re approved for the Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature Card. This amount goes up to $150 if approved between 10/2/2024 and 10/31/2024.
If approved, you’ll receive the gift card instantly, and you’ll be able to earn money back with every purchase. Plus, if you’re a frequent Amazon shopper, those rewards really do add up quickly over time!
Plus, with your new card, you’ll receive 3% back at Amazon, Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, and Chase Travel with an eligible Prime membership. During Prime Big Deal Days, cardholders can even earn 10% back on select items!
You’ll also earn 2% back at participating restaurants, gas stations, and local transit (including rideshare), and 1% back on everything else. Best of all, there’s no annual credit card fee! 🤩
5. Become a member of the Amazon Shopper Panel to score free Amazon cash.
Hip2Save readers and team members absolutely LOVE the Amazon Shopper Panel app (iOS | Android), which is a super easy way to earn rewards and keep them coming month after month. *Note that this is available by invitation only; however, you may be added to a waiting list or find that you’ve already been invited when trying to sign up!
There are three ways to use this app to earn credits toward your Amazon gift card balance:
- Opt into ad verification. This will automatically track the ads you see on Amazon and earn you a couple of dollars each month.
- Take the available surveys. Your credits will automatically be added to your Amazon Shopper Panel account.
- Download your receipts for purchases made outside of Amazon. Upload ten receipts in one month and earn $10!
All rewards are credited to your Amazon account within the first 48 hours of each month, so you’ll want to get started NOW in order to receive and use them in time for the Prime Early Access Sale in July.
6. Watch for opportunities to earn FREE credits with an Amazon eGift Card purchase.
Before the last Prime Days, Prime Members could get a $5 Amazon Credit with the purchase of a $50 Amazon eGift Card! This opportunity was available to Members throughout the week leading up to Prime Day.
While we don’t know whether Amazon will offer a similar credit leading up to the next Prime Day event, we’re certainly hopeful! Sign up for Hip2Save’s text alerts to be among the first to know if this sweet opportunity presents itself again this summer.
7. Look for the chance to score a FREE $5 credit when you spend $10 at Amazon Go.
If you have an Amazon Go store near you, then you may get an additional opportunity to earn a $5 credit before Prime Day 2024!
During last year’s July Prime Day sale, Prime Members could earn a $5 Amazon Credit for spending $10 at Amazon Go. We don’t know whether this credit will be available again this year, but we hope it will be offered again!
8. Watch for a potential $12 bonus credit for using Amazon Reload.
Last year, Prime Members could get a $12 gift card bonus credit for reloading an Amazon e-Gift card with $100+ in a single transaction using Amazon Reload.
This offer was available for first-time users only, and we hope that more new users will be able to score this credit this year, too.
We can’t guarantee this offer will be back again this year, but we have our fingers crossed!
9. Earn money back using Alexa Shopping List Savings.
Did you know that you can score Amazon credits year-round when you shop using the Amazon Alexa Shopping List? Best of all, you don’t need to have an Alexa device to get this perk!
Simply download the Alexa app and add available cash back offers to your shopping list. After you purchase the items, upload or scan your receipt to the app, and within 24-48 hours, you’ll receive a corresponding credit to your Amazon account!
For full instructions, see our post on How to Use the Amazon Alexa Shopping List feature.
10. Look for no-rush shipping rewards.
Getting ready to shop Amazon Prime Day deals? Keep an eye out during checkout for the option of getting no rush shipping rewards.
If you don’t need a package right away, you can earn a small digital reward or instant discount by opting for a slower shipping speed (typically about a week). Just keep in mind that these rewards can only be applied to select items.
11. For a limited time, you can earn credits when you buy Proctor & Gamble products.
Do you need to stock up on items from brands like Pampers, Tide Pods, Bounty, Tampax, or Olay? Now is the time to buy! From now until 12/31/2024, you can score $20 in Amazon credits when you buy $80 worth of Proctor & Gamble products.
