How to earn up to $15 in credits for your Amazon Prime Day order

UPDATE: Jul. 8, 2023, 5:00 a.m. EDT This story has been updated with all current offers.

Amazon will literally pay you to shop this Prime Day. No, really.

For the second year in a row, the retail giant is giving customers several ways to earn free credits they can redeem during its annual sitewide sale (which is happening on July 11 and 12). Two offers were live at the time of writing, and neither requires committing to a paid Prime membership upfront:

1. Sign up for a free 30-day trial of Prime, get $10

Amazon gatekeeps its Prime Day deals from non-Prime members, but you can skirt the monthly or annual membership fee by signing up for its free 30-day trial. According to a recent post on the company’s blog, select shoppers who enroll ahead of the event will automatically receive a $10 shopping credit toward their Prime Day purchase. (If you don’t want to upgrade to a paid plan, be sure to cancel your trial before it renews.)

2. Buy $50+ in Amazon gift cards through July 10, get $5

Prime members (paid or trial) who purchase at least $50 worth of Amazon gift cards before Prime Day kicks off will receive a $5 credit in their Amazon account right after they complete their order. You can redeem that credit anytime through Friday, August 25, in case nothing catches your eye on Prime Day.
