Simple Amazon Shopping Hacks That’ll Help You Save Money
As many of you know, I’ve discussed Amazon shopping hacks before in great detail. But the new (and always changing) ways to save on Amazon continues to amaze me. So today I have 3 more highly-clever tricks to make the most of your Amazon shopping experience. From scoring a free $5 from Amazon, to cool credits for waiting more than 2-days for delivery, these tips are sure to be a hit if you shop on Amazon regularly. Let’s break it down…
1. Score $5 for Adding $20 Cash To Your Amazon Account
Available at over 30,000 participating stores, Amazon Cash is a simple way to add cash to your Amazon balance.
This is a great option for those who don’t have a credit card, debit card, or bank card.
You just visit a participating store, have them scan the Amazon Cash barcode within the Amazon app, and pay them cash for any amount up to $500.
The balance is then made available immediately for shopping on Amazon.com.
The best part is Amazon is currently offering a free $5 Amazon credit when you add $20 or more via Amazon Cash to those using it for the 1st time.
Yes, you read that correctly. Go do this immediately, whether you have a credit card or not, it’s FREE MONEY.
Expires on 12/31/20. But I’m guessing they will extend this expiration date as they have in the past.
