Prime members can support small businesses that sell on Amazon and earn a $10 credit to use on Prime Day — here's how the offer works

• Prep for Amazon Prime Day 2020 this October by supporting small, US-based businesses.
• Spend $10 at one of these businesses to earn a $10 credit to spend on Amazon Prime Day.
• From shopping women- and black-owned storefronts to buying handmade, you can now fund initiatives you support with your patronage — and some extra Prime Day cash doesn't hurt.

If you're already an Amazon Prime member with all of our Prime Day 2020 coverage bookmarked, Amazon has introduced another way to prepare for the incoming event — an early Prime Day deal.

From now through October 12, members who spend $10 at select small businesses can get $10 to spend on Prime Day itself. The offer is limited to one per customer, but with the big price drops we expect to see over October 13 and 14, $10 goes a long way.

How to get the $10 Prime Day credit:

• Only products from storefronts included here will get you the $10 credit.
• The credit is only redeemable during Prime Day, from midnight PT October 13 to 11:59 p.m PT October 14.
• You can check if your order qualifies here; it's also where you go spend your credit.
• This offer is limited to Prime members only, but if you've never signed up before, consider signing up for a 30-day free trial now.
