13 ways to get Amazon discounts and rewards year-round

If you have an Amazon Prime Store Card, you can earn 5% back on your Amazon.com purchases while you have a Prime membership too. Each month, it can be issued as a statement credit or redeemed for millions of items on Amazon. You'll also see exclusive offers on select items. There's no annual fee, either.

Right now, Amazon is also offering an instant $100 Amazon.com Gift Card upon approval.

Prime members earn a 2% bonus on every reload of a gift card when using a designated debit card. When setting up Prime Reload, you will be asked to select a debit card for rewards. It'll be added to your gift card balance at the same time you reload.

There are a lot of reasons to get a Prime membership, but one of the most notable is that it gets you access to millions of deals on Prime Day so you can save where it really matters.

Amazon Cash lets you shop Amazon without a debit or credit card by adding cash at participating locations. First-time Amazon Cash customers can get a $5 Amazon credit when they add $20 in Amazon Cash.

Prime members save 20% off diapers, baby food, and more when they have five or more subscriptions arriving. There are also Amazon Family coupons you can browse and redeem here.

If you've got a few usual suspects like pet food, batteries, or laundry detergent that you regularly buy and replace on Amazon, it pays to set up regularly scheduled deliveries (ie. Subscribe & Save). You can unlock extra savings on eligible subscriptions when you subscribe to five or more products at one address on your monthly delivery day.

There's no commitment once you subscribe, so you only have to do it as long as it helps you out.

To get started, just choose which products you'd like from thousands of eligible products in the Subscribe & Save store and select your delivery frequency and create your subscription. You can skip deliveries or cancel at any time.

Get your first four months of audible for 46% less from until February 18, 2020, and listen to thousands of titles here. After the four months, it'll go back to being $14.95, but you can cancel anytime if you don't love it enough.

Sign in to the Amazon app for the first time and get a $10 promotional code. You'll receive a notification in the app with the amount and instructions on redeeming it. You can apply it to your next order (minimum of at least $20 of products sold by Amazon). Just make sure to use it within 30-days of your first sign-in.

Get $10 off your first order from Whole Foods Market on Prime Now with the code "SAVE10WF" at checkout.

You can also save an extra 10% on weekly Prime specials within Prime Now.

Prime members can get a little extra something when they choose no-rush shipping at checkout. If you can afford to skip the customary two-day shipping range, select free no-rush shipping at checkout and Amazon will either apply a discount immediately to your current order or automatically apply a reward to your account once your order ships.

By No-Rush, Amazon means within six business days. So, it's not like no-rush means an open-ended "whenever you get around to it." If you're not in a hurry, this is a great way to rack up discounts and rewards.

Prime Pantry will deliver groceries and household goods straight to your door, saving you a weekly trip to the store. It also lets you buy essentials. The more products you add to your cart, the greater your potential savings. According to Amazon, any five Pantry items save 5%, any 10 save 10%, and more than 15 items save 15% off your entire Pantry order.

Prime members get free delivery on orders that are at least $35, otherwise, non-Prime members and Prime orders under $35 have a flat $5.99 shipping fee.

If you're looking for something specific, or you just want to peruse and see if anything jogs your memory of something you might need, Amazon's Bargain Bin is a good place to go. Everything is 50% off or more, and it's the site's "final chance" to shop through already reduced items.

You can pick up screen protectors, toys, records, baby clothes, and a lot more for half their original price.
