Yup. You really can do it. Here are 4 great ways to shop at Amazon.com for free. And no, this isn’t a sponsored post. :)

1. Trade in stuff you no longer want. Here’s a nice summary of what’s involved from their Web page:

The Amazon Trade-In Program allows customers to receive an Amazon.com Gift Card in exchange for over a million eligible items including DVDs, CDs, video games, electronics, and books. The process is easy and convenient with free shipping, an immediate offer, and no required registration or listing.

2. Apply for an Amazon.com rewards Visa card. Okay, if you have trouble with credit cards, maybe don’t try this one out. But if you are good with credit, and tend to use Amazon frequently anyways, this may not be a bad route to go.

3. Rack up points using the Bing search engine (this doesn’t seem to work from Canada, alas). You can earn points with searches and doing bonus tasks like watching short videos. Don’t forget you can always earn points towards Amazon (this does work for Canadians!) with Swagbucks as well.

4. Earn credit for simple work like transcribing videos of finding company addresses at Amazon’s Mechanical Turk.

Do you know any other ways to earn credit to spend at Amazon.com?

  1. We’ve thought about getting the Amazon card for a while as we buy so much from Amazon. I have to take a better look at their rewards though to see if it would be worth it for us.
