Recyclebank: Gift Card Rewards ($5 Amazon, Starbucks, CVS and Foot Locker eGift Cards!)

If you’ve been saving up your Recyclebank Points, you’ll likely be excited to hear that they are once again offering up a $5 Amazon Gift Card for 1,500 points! This popular reward always seems to sell out quickly, so if interested – you’d better get a move on! Gone! 🙁 Also, there are quite a few other gift cards you may be interested in, such as Starbucks, CVS and Foot Locker…

What is Recyclebank?

If you’re new around here, you are probably wondering what the heck RecycleBank is!? RecycleBank partners with cities and haulers to reward households for recycling; households earn RecycleBank Points that can be used to shop at over 1,500 local and national businesses. Once you have signed up for an account, you can start earning points immediately by clicking on the “Earn Points” tab and taking quizzes. You can then use your points to purchase high value coupons for groceries and/or discounts at online stores. After signing in, click on the “Get Rewards” tab and you’ll be able to start scrolling through the rewards they have available.

(Thanks, Ahorrando Dolares!)

    I ordered my Amazon card and it does take almost a week to get the email with the reward code. I wish we could order more than just one Amazon reward since it seems like Recyclebank does not offer this all the time

  2. Julie in MA

    Thank you. I have been waiting for them
    to post some new gift cards 🙂

  3. Geena O Joseph

    Feel like its too many points for too little in value…

    • axhilli

      Took less than 5 min to get my account back up to 200 points. I normally like getting green mountain coupon codes and some high value printable coupons.

      • Seiko

        Me, too. I like high value coupons better than gift cards. But when I can’t find any coupons I like, I end up with a few thousands points. That’s when I get gift cards.

    Havent logged onto recycle bank in a long time but had enough points for s Starbucks gift card, thanks for posting.

  5. Stephanie

    Thanks! I figure that the points are free to earn and time I put in is worth it since I do enjoy learning more about eco-friendly options!

  6. Ali

    Got it! Thank you!

    Two weeks ago, I had a large amount of points saved up and after several months of not seeing the Wal-Mart gift cards or anything like that except the Regal Movie Ticket, I e-mail Recycle Bank and was told that they are no longer going to issue these types of cards out to us only the “other people” who ever they were. So I had no choice but to get the Regal Movie Ticket and gifted it too a friend, no big deal there because I knew they would have fun but it was just the idea of now they have them listed and I was told a story that they would never have them listed again. I am all about recycling, but not telling story’s. I just felt this was really unfair because it could have happened to you. Any thoughts from anyone here…

    • axhilli

      I save my points as rewards change and I wait until I see something I like. The person who answered your call is probably not the same person who makes decisions about what rewards will be offered coming up. You were able to give a gift to a friend which is always a great thing.

      • axhilli

        Answered your email.

  8. Leanne

    Was able to snag my Amazon card and also picked up 2 Harris Teeter coupons too. Those come in handy! =)

    I wonder if anyone knows if you can use lands end gc at sears/ kmart like you can use gap ones at old navy, banana republic and pipeline? Tia!

    • Kirsten

      Yes you can use Lands End gift cards at Sears & Kmart. I do it all the time.

    • patty

      I have never gotten the ones on recyclebank, but the lands end gift cards I get thru the hallmark card rewards program I am able to use at kmart.

      • Pharmchick

        Thanks! It’s not a bad choice then!

  10. Rhoda

    Thanks for the heads up. I got a Starbucks gift card with my points.

  11. Rachael

    Thanks, I got the $10 Walmart gift card for 2500 pt

  12. Sarah Heil

    Thank you so much for posting about the AGC! I recently got enough for the card but got the message that this reward was only available for those who used a sponsored disposal program. I almost cancelled my account! Now I know just to wait until they are available!

  13. Angie

    I have been waiting for them to have something worth spending my points on and yayy I got a Wal-Mart gift card!!

  14. Katie

    Thanks for the notice! I was able to get a Lowes card with my points!!!! That will come in super handy as we are re-doing a bathroom.

  15. debra

    Thanks for the heads up. I haven’t logged into recyclebank in a long time. I usually get one gift card a year with the points i earn.

  16. Lisa

    My city doesn’t recycle so I guess I can’t participate. :/

    • Coupon Kathy (@couponkathy)

      You can still participate, even without your city participating. I’ve earned over 9,000 pts (total) and my city doesn’t participate. If you want an invite, let me know. They only give 25 pts for referrals, but better than none, lol

    • axhilli

      Your city doesn’t recycle, that’s sad.

      • Kathryn M

        Lots of cities don’t recycle. I take newspapers to a bin at the school and plastic bags back to the store but that’s it unless I pay my trash company almost $200 extra a year, and I just don’t have that much extra $$$.

        • axhilli

          Well that is sad also. All the money things are wasted on and some cities don’t have recycling is ridiculous.

    • Coupon Kathy (@couponkathy)

      I’m Coupon Kathy on facebook, if you want to message me for an invite. Need either your e-mail or fb name.
      I’m going to try to post a “generic” invite on my fb page, if it will let me.

    • Coupon Kathy (@couponkathy)

      I just found a referral link. Good luck if you decide to join.

    THANKS! Got a $5 Cabelas egift card for my boat fund! Hey, every little bit helps! 🙂

  20. Karen

    Thanks so much, Collin. I can always count on you to get the word out early. I had been saving mine, and I got a $10 Lowes card for 2500pts. This really helps us spread our dollars, and we have a huge wish list of projects for our house.

  21. Kathleen

    Thanks Collin, Amazon card is out now 🙁 but I was able to get the Starbucks one! Iced coffees!

  22. Ash

    Does these points expire??I had more than 3,000 points and now it’s showing 0 points:(

    • Crystal W.

      Ash,

      email customer service and you will probably get them back! Same thing happened to me ,but i found out my account was hacked and the person redeemed my points…so email them and see what they say. Good luck!

      • Ash

        Thanks .. I emailed them .. I hope I get them back…

  23. T.S.

    Got $10 for Walmart, I’m happy 🙂

  24. Kathryn K

    i found this on their twitter page posted feb 18:
    Rewards Update: We’re happy to announce that all members can again redeem their points for gift cards! (Limited inventory available)

    • carmen

      Thanks Kathryn.
      I’m really close to 2500, so I think I’m going to wait in HOPES that something good will still be there when I’m ready.
