The following information provides ways to save money, earn gift cards, and also ways to get paid by Amazon too.
Amazon Prime Membership
- A Few Membership Perks
A Prime membership offers fast and free shipping. It also includes other perks as well like music, photo storage, and their video service. You can add members of your household to your account to share some of these benefits. There is a fee, which can be paid monthly or yearly.
- Possible Discount on Membership Fee
If you’re a student or recipient of Medicaid or EBT, you may be eligible to get a membership at a reduced rate. See their site for more details.
- You Can Still Save Without Prime
If you do not want to pay for Prime, you do have another option. Make sure to keep your orders over $25. You will then qualify for free shipping. Just make sure none of the sellers are charging for shipping. Be advised that prices may vary if you are not a subscriber.
Amazon Discounts
Discounts for Amazon can be found on their site, through affiliates, as well as from third party companies.
- Qualify For Prime Membership Discount

- Clip Amazon Coupons On Products
Amazon offers coupons on several items. They can be found right under the price if there is one available. These can also be used along with discount codes.
- Coupon Codes
You can use coupon codes when you are checking out on Amazon. Make sure to enter the code in the billing section and click apply. It will give you a message saying that it was applied, or invalid. It could be incorrect, expired, or a one time use code that has already been used.
- Amazon Woot! Deals
Amazon has a daily deals site called Woot! You would use the same login you use for Amazon. They have a few items that are discounted until they run out. Sometimes they have a “Woot Off” for even lower deals.
Cash Back On Amazon
The following are ways that you can get cash back for shopping on Amazon. More information about cash back in general is on the Cash Back page.
- Shop Through App / Websites
A lot of third party companies offer cash back on purchases. I’ll list a few when I get a chance. Look through the list of options and terms on each one, as they will vary across companies. There should be a list to show what stores you can get cash back from. You will need to shop through the app that is offering the cash back. It will then open the store app that you will shop on. They need to be able to track it, so they can verify the transaction.
*Unfortunately, Amazon is rarely one of the stores listed. If it is, it’s usually only cash back for purchasing Amazon devices or services.
- Shop Through Debit / Credit Card Companies
Several debit and credit card companies offer cash back on purchases. You should be able to find more information on your card’s app. Look through the list of options and terms, as they will vary across companies. Some will give you a a percentage back for shopping at certain stores, or on certain types of items.
- Submit Receipts
You can get cash back from your Amazon e-receipts from a few different apps. Just connect your account and click scan. You will receive points towards cash back. See Submit Receipts for more information.
Amazon Gift Cards
- Reload Gift Card Bonus
Sometimes Amazon runs specials that will give you a bonus Amazon credit for reloading with a specified amount. For example, you may get $10 for loading $100 onto a card.
- Earn FREE Gift Cards
There are several ways to earn free Amazon gift cards. A few are listed in the Extra Money section.
Get Paid By Amazon
There are a few things that you can do to get paid by Amazon.
- Amazon Mechanical Turk (mTurk)
mTurk consists of mostly microtasks that you do for Amazon. This may include surveys, extracting receipt information, provide search results, pulling data from a site, rate pics, and so on. When you first start, you only qualify for lower paid tasks. That will increase over time.
- Amazon Shopper Panel
This is an app that you would install, and then you may possibly have to wait for an invite. You would then scan your receipts to receive credits each month to your Amazon account. See the Submit Receipts page for more like this.
