Amazon Prime Day deals are amazing, but what if you could get them for free? Yes, you heard that right! Here are some clever (and legal) ways to unlock those Prime Day goodies without spending a dime.
Did you know that Amazon offers free 30-day trials for Prime memberships? If you haven’t used it yet, now’s the time! Simply sign up for a free trial right before Prime Day. Enjoy all the deals and then cancel before your trial ends—no strings attached!
Pro Tip: If you’re sneaky (but in a totally ethical way), you could ask family members to sign up for their own free trials. Teamwork makes the dream work, am I right?
If you’re a student (or just look young enough to still get carded), Amazon’s Prime Student offers a free six-month trial. That’s a long time to rake in the savings from multiple sale events like Prime Day and Black Friday!
Studying has never been this rewarding… except for maybe that one time you found a $5 bill in your textbook.
Amazon Family allows you to share your Prime benefits with one other adult in your household. If you’ve got a Prime member in the family, politely (or annoyingly) ask them to share their perks with you.
Pro Tip: Make sure to share those savings over a nice family dinner. It’s only fair!
Many Amazon-branded credit cards offer sweet bonuses like gift cards or credits when you sign up. While this may not be directly free, it’s a great way to score some free deals if you’re already looking to apply for a new card. You could score up to $100 in free credit!
It’s basically like being paid to shop… sort of.
Websites like Rakuten or Honey often give you cashback or rewards for shopping through their links on Amazon. Stack these rewards with Prime Day deals, and you’ll essentially be earning money while shopping! Talk about a win-win situation.
“Honey, look! I saved us 10 bucks!” “Great, now we can spend it on something else we don’t need!”
When placing an order, Amazon often offers a “No-Rush” shipping option, which rewards you with credits for opting out of fast shipping. Accumulate these credits, and use them to slash down your Prime Day expenses.
By delaying gratification, you’ll be able to stock up on some freebies down the line. Patience is indeed a virtue—especially when it means free stuff!
Amazon’s trade-in program lets you exchange old gadgets, books, and more for Amazon gift cards. Use those gift cards to take full advantage of Prime Day deals without spending any actual cash. It’s like free shopping on Amazon!
Bye-bye, old Kindle. Hello, shiny new gadget!
Amazon regularly offers promotional discounts, like $10 off when you use the Amazon app for the first time or $5 off when you reload your gift card balance. Keep an eye on these sneaky discounts to trim down your Prime Day cart total.
Getting Amazon Prime deals for free may seem like a magic trick, but with these tips, you’ll be pulling discounts out of thin air in no time. Whether you’re milking a free trial, stacking cashback rewards, or trading in old tech, there’s a way to hack the system and make Prime Day your wallet’s best friend.
Happy (almost-free) shopping!
