Did you know that there are several ways to earn Amazon gift cards? Yes, there are!
Learning how to earn free Amazon gift cards can help you pay for things throughout the year for free, such as Christmas or other holiday gifts, birthday gifts, household items, and more.
Plus, it's fairly easy to earn Amazon gift cards.
No, it won't make you rich, but it can make things you already have to purchase a little more affordable.
It's best to sign up for as many gift cards as you can. This is because each company may only give you so many points or rewards each month, so the more you sign up, the more Amazon gift cards you may be able to earn.
Also, many of them don't require much work at all.

October 19, 2016 at 5:33 amI use many of these sites already but I am definitely saving up for some gift cards for the Holiday season! I didn’t know coinstar didn’t charge a fee if you opted to receive a gift card instead. Works for me

October 19, 2016 at 10:07 amGreat job!
Mrs. Picky Pincher says
October 19, 2016 at 8:33 amI have MyPoints connected to my BzzAgent account, and I’ve been able to score some Restaurant.com gift certificates that way. It’s not really a time-efficient way to save money, but if you happen to have a lot of time on your hands and you’re bored, it’s a good way to get a little bit of pocket change.
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner says
October 19, 2016 at 10:08 amYes, definitely!

October 19, 2016 at 11:33 amI love earning amazon giftcards. In fact, I’ve made over $100 selling on amazon’s trade in!
I wrote a whole step-by-step post about it too: http://www.andthekitchensink.net/earned-120-amazon-credit/
Another good way to earn Amazon Giftcards is by using the app Receipt Hog.
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner says
October 19, 2016 at 1:03 pmGreat job!
BreAnna says
October 21, 2016 at 8:57 amI use Receipt Hog as well!! It’s a great app, it’s just very time consuming to getting to a decent amount for a Amazon Gift card!
Josh says
October 19, 2016 at 12:43 pmI have got to get on the Ibotta train! Getting money for things you’re already buying is always a win! Also, thanks for pointing out that coinstar will give you gift cards instead of cash to avoid paying the fees. Good to know!
Many of these options have made me money over the past couple of years. Any of them are great choices!
Thanks for sharing!

October 19, 2016 at 1:03 pmThanks!

October 19, 2016 at 3:49 pmHi Michelle,
Great list! I would like to add a totally passive way of earning Amazon gift card to this list. I have earned $187 this far using this method.
If you use Cross Media Panel (formerly used to be Screenwise Trends), owned by Google, to monitor your browsing behavior, you could earn $3 per week, and claim an Amazon gift card once you reach $5 $10, or $25 earning threshold.
If anyone would like to learn how, you can read my post – http://stretchadime.com/earn-passive-income-from-google/

October 19, 2016 at 5:15 pmAwesome! Thanks for the tip 🙂
MooCash says
October 20, 2016 at 1:52 amSwagbucks is indeed a legit way to have free gift cards. Another one is MooCash – an Android app where users earn points by unlocking their phone and later on exchange these points to gift checks, free talktime, free recharge and even paypal withdrawals! Thanks for the tips!
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner says
October 20, 2016 at 11:55 amYes, I love Swagbucks!
Kasey says
October 20, 2016 at 2:53 pmDon’t forget Bing (now Microsoft Rewards). Make them your default search engine and you’ll be awarded points every time you search. You can redeem them for Amazon gift codes in $5 increments.
Aliyyah @RichAndHappyBlog says
October 20, 2016 at 11:40 pmWhen I take surveys online, I usually redeem my rewards for Amazon gift cards as well.
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner says

Neena says
October 21, 2016 at 5:48 amI like the Amazon trade in program. I feel like I am doing something good for the environment, getting a little bit back on my investment, and clearing some of the clutter in the house all at the same time.
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner says
October 21, 2016 at 9:52 amYes, definitely!
Steve Freeman says
October 21, 2016 at 6:30 amHello Michelle,
Thank you for your comprehensive post. I was ignorant of swagbucks so I have just joined up through your link to try it out. Thanks again.
Regards
Steve
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner says
October 21, 2016 at 9:52 amI’ve been using Swagbucks for years. It’s a great company!
pera says
October 21, 2016 at 8:32 amAll these tools are extremely time consuming. Survey-points websites can help you to make 2 dollars per hour (maybe). It would be nice to have some real nice tips, instead of the usual affiliate links(which I understand it’s your business)
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner says
October 21, 2016 at 9:53 amI use a lot of these companies. While you definitely won’t get rich, if you have extra time it can add up nicely.
Lisa says
October 22, 2016 at 6:27 pmI totally agree with Michelle, she did say that this will not get you rich or even replace your income. BUT it is a great way to save on things you would have purchased anyway with little effort.
I have been doing things like this for years to fund my holiday gift giving. I complete simple tasks whenever I can throughout the year. I let my account balances build up then I cash out a few months before the holidays.
It certainly relieves the pressure and expense during the holidays!!
Jayson @ Monster Piggy Bank says
October 23, 2016 at 4:34 amYay! There are so many sources of amazon gift cards. I think after trying these out, I am gonna many gift cards. Thanks Michelle.
Lisa says
November 1, 2016 at 6:59 pmReceipt Hog is another good one. Also Bing Rewards might also provide Amazon gift cards.
Lisa says
November 16, 2016 at 3:39 pmDon’t forget Amazon Mechanical Turk. I’ve used it successfully to earn cash but you can also earn Amazon gift cards. Receipt Hog is also a great place for earning Amazon gift cards.
Timothy Haney says
November 28, 2016 at 10:50 amLisa, there is no link on #12. Just an FYI if you have an affiliate link
Sandro says
July 30, 2017 at 2:37 amAnd once again I’m disappointed to just find offers that don’t help me, nearly all of the articles and blogs are just counting ways which are unusable if you are outside of the US. Most of this sites either don’t accept ppl from Europe or like Prizerebel don’t give me even the chance to get more then a few points!
Kebin son says
August 18, 2017 at 12:10 pmFurthermore, by and by I’m frustrated to simply discover offers that don’t help me, about the greater part of the articles and web journals are simply checking ways which are unusable on the off chance that you are outside of the US. The vast majority of this locales either don’t acknowledge ppl from Europe or like Prizerebel don’t allow me even to get all the more then a couple of focuses!
Alejandra says
November 10, 2017 at 4:22 pmThanks for sharing this information, I didn’t know about it, I will start working on it.
I agree with Michelle also, this will not make me rich, but it’s an option to do on my free time.
Allyce says
March 10, 2018 at 7:55 amPerks! If you have extra devices that can connect to wi-fi, you can run Perks on all of them. There are several apps for ios and android each. Earn all types of gift cards, but I stick to Amazon.
Patty says
April 13, 2018 at 11:40 amI think, best is eRewards and I am surprised as it has missed from his list. Bing Rewards comes to next. I am happy to see suggestion about Coinstar
Amanda says
June 12, 2018 at 12:06 amAnother good survey site is quickthoughts. If you have an android phone you get amazon gift cards but if you have a iphone I heard you can get itunes gift cards. I have made over $100 on this app answering surveys. They give you $3 per completed survey and 10 cent for unqualified surveys.
Garrett Sherwood says
July 8, 2018 at 6:15 amThere was a time when Swagbucks was good. Now they will kick you off very quickly if they don’t like your browsing habits (to frequent of searches).
Ashley Logsdon says
December 3, 2018 at 4:37 pmJust signed up for Schwagbucks! Another thing – this isn’t for Amazon cards, but helping to save money…the Honey and eBates extensions are GREAT – I’ve saved a ton just by the coupons and savings these pull whenever I purchase. Thanks for this list to add a few more ideas!
DNN says
January 20, 2019 at 3:22 amI might have to give Swagbucks a closer look for increasing “side hustle millionaire” income potential.
Aaron says
April 11, 2019 at 8:16 amIf you travel a lot and use rental cars – you may want to check into Avis’ offer whereby they give Amazon customers 10% in a Amazon gift card when you go through their special offer page and 20% off (provided in a gift card offering) when you use Alexa to make the reservation. Great way to get extra savings and cash-back.
Jodie Wiggins says
April 18, 2019 at 5:44 pmi just the $100 amazon gift card not some other gift cards just $100 amazon gift
Andrew @ Fo says
June 2, 2019 at 5:30 pmI’ve used Swagbucks in the past with mixed results, but I never knew about the Amazon Trade-In Program. That’s a cool idea. I’m curious to see how it works!
Thanks!
