Most of the Prime Day 2018 deals we cover are mere suggestions. We comb through thousands upon thousands of deals to pick out the best ones to help you make the most of Amazon’s huge annual sale. With this particular Prime Day deal, however, we absolutely insist that you take advantage. Why? Because Amazon is giving away free money for Prime Day, and there’s absolutely no reason to refuse free money. No, seriously… free money!
Here’s how it works: all you have to do is head to this page on Amazon’s website and buy a $25 Amazon gift card. When you do, Amazon will give you $5 for free. It’s Prime Day and you’re going to spend $25 on Amazon anyway, so why not get $5 for free in the process? You can then take your $25 gift card and $5 in promotional credit and spend it on any Prime Day deals you want. Or if you’ve already finished your Prime Day shopping, just hang onto your $30 and spend it anytime you want — you have until September 2 before it expires.
When you get to Amazon’s $5 promo credit page, hit the “Click to add the code to your account” button and follow the instructions. You can also just add at least $25 in gift cards to your cart and use the promo code GCPRIME18 at checkout. Either way, you’ll score $5 in promotional credit on top of whatever value in gift cards you buy. Just be sure to do it before the end of the day on Tuesday, because this deal is only available on Prime Day.
