Here’s how you can earn easy Amazon Prime Day Credits:
1. 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
2. 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 existing Prime Members up to a $150 Amazon gift card when they’re approved for the Amazon Prime Visa Card.
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 5% back at Amazon, Whole Foods Market, and Chase Travel with an eligible Prime membership. Cardholders can even earn 6% back with Amazon Day Delivery, or 10% back on a rotating selection of items and categories!
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! 🤩
3. Get a $20 credit when you’re approved for an Amazon Store card.
Prime members who are approved for an Amazon Store Card can receive an instant Amazon gift card for $20! The Amazon Store Card gets Prime members 5% back at Amazon.com and Whole Foods Market. This card has no annual fee, and eligible purchases have 0% APR. Non-eligible purchases have a 29.99% APR, so use your card with this in mind.
4. 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:
- Take the available surveys. Your credits will automatically be added to your Amazon Shopper Panel account.
- Scan or download your receipts for purchases made outside of Amazon. This method can earn you up to $10 per month!
- Complete the offers available to you. You may see the option to earn rewards for purchasing specific items, similar to how Ibotta and Fetch offers work. Space is limited for this part of the program.
All rewards are credited to your Amazon account within the first 48 hours of each month, so you’ll want to get started NOW to receive and use them in time for the next Prime Day sale, which is expected to happen during the summer of 2026.
5. Watch for opportunities to earn FREE credits with an Amazon eGift Card purchase.
In the past, Prime Members have been able to get a $5 Amazon Credit with the purchase of a $50 Amazon eGift Card! This opportunity was available to Members during the lead-up to Prime Day.
While we don’t know whether Amazon will offer a similar credit leading up to the 2025 Prime Big Deal Days 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 fall.
6. Watch for a potential $12 bonus credit when you use 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 to first-time users only, and we hope that more new users will be able to score a similar credit this year, too.
We can’t guarantee this offer will be back again, but we have our fingers crossed!
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 Big Deal Days 2025!
During previous Prime Day sales, 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. Look for no-rush shipping rewards.
Getting ready to shop Amazon Prime Big Deal Days? Keep an eye out during checkout for the option of earning no-rush shipping rewards.
If you don’t need a package right away, you can earn a small digital reward or an 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.
9. Backup your photos with Amazon Photo.
In the past, Amazon Prime members were offered a $15 Amazon credit good on a $30+ purchase for backing up their photos to Amazon Photo. If you have the offer, it will be mentioned in a banner at the top of the page.
Then download the Amazon Photo App for Android or iOS. Turn on Auto-Save to automatically back up your photos. You’ll receive an email with your FREE $15 Amazon credit within 4 days.
Other ways to score a deal…
Earn points toward e-books.
Love shopping for Kindle books on Amazon? You can earn points to redeem for future book purchases. Look for the number of points listed near the “You Earn:” information on the product listing. Earn 300 points, and you’ll get a $3 credit towards your next e-book!
See a list of the books where you can earn an e-book credit.
Score a gift card on your next electronics trade-in.
Upgrading your tech gear? Trade in your old electronics to get your estimated trade-in value as an Amazon.com Gift Card. Some trade-ins will also get you an additional discount on an Amazon device! See the Amazon Trade-In Rebate Program webpage for more information!

I love Amazon Shopper Panel. Easy $10+ every month!
ME TOO! 💞🙌
I’ve been on the shopper panel since beta and love earning credits for normal shopping. I always do my fetch rewards then Amazon shopper panel. It makes it way easier to remember.
I am on the app. But, so far, I only received the surveys. when I click on “Submit a Receipt”, it says there is a wait list. I have been doing the surveys since February, 2023. How long does it take to be able to submit receipts? I would love the opportunity. Any suggestions?
Hey Debbie! I can’t remember when I signed up (it’s definitely been a while), but I’m also on the “waitlist” for receipt submission. I believe it’s a popular program, so you might just keep checking back. Hoping you’re able to get through soon! 🤞
I was on the wait list forever, and finally was invited to join in Feb 2023, but I am only able to do surveys. Receipt submissions are wait-list for me still. As far as the surveys go, there have only been 3 for me to take so far.

I think once you are able to submit receipts, it could be worth it.
Thanks for sharing how the rewards app is going for you, Natalie. Hoping you’re able to get on the receipt submission option soon! 🤞
I’ve scored over $432 with the shopper panel since November 2020
Thanks for the great tips to get FREE MONEY! ♥️♥️♥️
You’re so welcome! 💞 Happy shopping! 🛍️
I signed up for the Prime credit card a couple years ago and have not regretted it. Heads-up that the card also has no fees to use it internationally (no foreign transaction fee), which was a surprise to me. I didn’t have another card with that benefit, so it has been a real game changer.
Awesome to hear about the no foreign transaction fee perk, Amy! Thanks for taking a moment to share how well this card has been working out for you throughout the years! ❤️
Costco’s credit card also has no foreign transaction fees- an unexpected benefit we discovered several years ago!
SWEET! Good to know about their card as well! 🙌
I downloaded the app and am able to get credits for my receipts without being invited. I got a $1 credit so far just today 🙂
