Earn Amazon Gift Certificates

Why are opportunities to earn Amazon gift certificates so popular? Everyone loves shopping at Amazon.com. With Amazon's wide range of products, you can even buy essentials like cereal and baby wipes. Whether you're looking to treat yourself or help the family budget, the following ideas will help you build up your gift card balance.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Search with Blingo or Swagbucks. (Find links to all sites in the Resources area at the bottom of the article.) These sites reward prizes to users for doing everyday searches. Swagbucks members win Swagbucks, a site-specific currency they can redeem for a wide range of prizes, including Amazon gift cards. Blingo randomly selects winning searches, and the prizes include $5 Amazon gift certificates. As an added bonus, the referral programs on these sites let you earn prizes along with your friends.
Step 2

Perform work at Amazon Mechanical Turk. Users earn anywhere from a penny to several dollars for completing tasks, known as HITs. HIT tasks include moderating images, writing reviews, typing information from scanned documents, completing surveys, and much more. Users can cash their earnings in for Amazon gift certificates after they have earned at least a dollar.
Step 3

Cash in your coins with Coinstar. Turn your spare change into Amazon gift certificates by using specially marked Coinstar machines. Look for bonus offers around the holidays.
Step 4

Take surveys. You can earn Amazon gift certificates just for sharing your opinion. Sign up with online survey sites, such as Lightspeed, and keep an eye out for opportunities in forums.
Step 5

Trade in used electronics for gift certificates. Gazelle offers cash or Amazon gift certificates for digital cameras, laptops, game consoles, cell phones, MP3 players, and many other devices. Shipping is free, and recycling used electronics is environmentally responsible.
Step 6

Look for Amazon promotions. In addition to percent-off sales and coupons, Amazon occasionally offers promotions allowing shoppers to receive gift certificates for purchasing specific products.
