Black Friday 2019 is now behind us and while there’s no question that there were some incredible deals to be found, there’s also no question that many popular discounts will get even deeper for Cyber Monday 2019. This year’s big blowout is easily the best Cyber Monday we’ve ever seen, especially on Amazon — and you can check out the Amazon Cyber Monday 2019 deals hub if you don’t believe us, because some of the prices there are so low the seem like they have to be mistakes. 10.2-inch iPads for only $229.99? Really!? But no matter how good a Cyber Monday deal is, and no matter how deep a discount is, there’s one type of offer that will always be better: Free money.

That’s right, Amazon is giving away free money and you’re completely insane if you don’t accept it if you’re eligible. The catch, if you can call it that, is that these offers are somewhat hidden so there’s pretty much no way you would ever find them on your own. Of course, that’s why the BGR Deals team is here!

Here’s how the first promotion works: head to this page on the Amazon site and click the button to add the promo to your account. Then buy $50 worth of Amazon gift cards and you’ll get a $15 credit on your account within a couple of days. That’s all there is to it! Just buy a digital gift card and add the $50 gift card balance to your own account since you’ll obviously spend that money on Amazon anyway considering all the killer deals on the site. Then within a day or three, you’ll get the extra $15 credit to spend during Cyber Week! The one caveat is that the promotion is available only to people who have never purchased Amazon gift cards before on the Amazon website. We made those last few words bold because you can still take advantage of the promotion if you’ve purchased physical Amazon gift cards in a store, just not if you bought them online from Amazon.

The coupon code 19GIFTCARD is also supposed to work for this offer, but people have had much better luck with the first method. Go to the promo page, click the button, then buy at least $50 worth of Amazon gift cards. Now before you even ask, we need to make this crystal clear: If you don’t see a button on that page to add the promotion to your account, it means you’re not eligible, probably because you’ve already purchased gift cards from Amazon in the past.

Don’t go anywhere just yet though, because we’re not done. There are two more ways to get free money from Amazon right now — get a $10 reward when you reload an Amazon.com gift card balance with $100 or more, and another $5 reward when you add $20 or more in Amazon Cash!

Here’s everything you need to know about all three offers:
