I once had a teacher ask our class if there was anything we couldn’t live without. Back then, I said my phone. Now? Without hesitation, my answer would be Amazon Prime.
Whenever I need paper towels, toilet paper, or a last-minute gift, I can place an Amazon order and have it at my door in two days — or even the same day. It’s made shopping so easy. But here’s my favorite part: I’ve found a way to make every Amazon order even more rewarding — by earning cashback and gift cards.
If you’re an avid online shopper like me, here’s how to turn your Amazon spending into savings.
1. Use Amazon’s Cashback Credit Card
For frequent Amazon shoppers, the Prime Visa Card is a no-brainer. Here’s how it works for Prime members:
- 5% back on Amazon.com, Amazon Fresh, and Whole Foods Market
- 2% back at restaurants, drugstores, and gas stations
- 1% back everywhere else
Your rewards are tracked as points — 100 points = $1 toward purchases. That means 5% back is 5 points per dollar spent. For everyday Amazon users, it’s like getting an instant discount on almost everything you buy.
Bonus Tip: New cardholders often get a welcome Amazon gift card (usually $150, sometimes more during special events like Prime Day).
Not ready to open a new credit card? Don’t worry — there’s another way to earn rewards on Amazon purchases without one.
2. Earn Amazon Gift Cards with Shopkick
Want to turn everyday shopping into Amazon gift cards? That’s where Shopkick comes in.
With Shopkick, you earn “kicks” for fun, simple activities like:
– Walking into select stores
– Scanning product barcodes in-store
– Making online or in-store purchases with participating retailers
– Linking your retailer accounts for eReceipts
Here’s how eReceipts work: Simply link your retailer accounts — like Walmart, Target, or Sam’s Club — directly in the Shopkick app. When you shop online or in-store with those accounts, your receipts are sent automatically to Shopkick, and you earn kicks without lifting a finger.
Once you collect enough kicks, you can redeem them for gift cards to your favorite retailers — including Amazon. These Amazon gift cards work just like cashback, helping you save on your next order.
Pro Tip: You can stack your Shopkick Amazon gift cards with Prime Visa rewards for even more savings.
