Earn Free Amazon GCs (http://www.comparerewards.com/archives/004475.html)
April 11, 2008 11:04 AM

Everybody loves free GCs, especially when they're from Amazon! Amazon is a favorite merchant of a lot of online shoppers because of its great promotions, including free super-saver shipping on $25 orders, and because it doesn't charge sales tax. While there are no rewards programs that can (legally) reward you for shopping at Amazon, there are several programs that will pay you in the form of Amazon credit, without you having to spend a red dime (unless you want to, that is)! Here's a recap, in no particular order:

QuickRewards: -- Earn for reading emails, visiting websites, completing surveys, entering contests (use a "throw-away" email address because these will spam you!), trial signups, shopping, completing polls, playing trivia, Guess My Number, referring friends

MyPoints: -- Earn for reading emails, visiting websites, completing surveys, trial signups, shopping, completing polls, referring friends

Winzy: -- Random searchers win $5 Amazon GCs (max of 30 searches per day per member); if your referrals win, you win, too

BigDevil: -- Random searchers win $5 Amazon GCs (or $25 Restaurant GCs) (max of 30 searches per day per member); if your referrals win, you win, too

Blingo: -- Random searchers win $5 Amazon GCs (or Fandango tickets) (max of 25 searches per day per member); if your referrals win, you win, too

I have never used Amazon to buy anything online but I have visited the site for research purposes. Of course that will change once I cash out from sites like Clear Voice and Valued Opinion. I should also redeem a gift card from MyPoints since I have a lot of points with them.

On Friday, I received my very first Amazon gift card code. I have several questions for Lee, since he knows everything about these code things.

1) Does the code expire? If so, when?
2) Do I have to create an Amazon account to use the code?
3) Can I use Pay Pal to buy stuff from Amazon?
4) Can I use multiple payment options to play for something?

Thanks in advance for your anwers.

Does that mean I have to use the code to enter it into the Amazon system or is that like entering the code in the website and saving it for use at a later time?

You can do either. Enter it when you make a purchase or enter it and save up for an even larger purchase. Amazon keeps track of your gift certificate funds for you as soon as you enter your promotional code. The companies that issue the promotional gift certificates may have varying terms of expiration, but Amazon doesn't for any gift certificates entered into their system after October 8, 2005.

Wow - I Love them too !! :p So far I've earned $520 in Amazon Gift Ctfs. and I was able to get alot of Nice Free things. I've earned these from being on several community forums and some of the survey sites. It doesn't take me long to accumulate enough of them so I can order something and not have to pay any shipping either. ;)

What free shipping?? How does that work? I always use the standard shipping because it doesn't cost that much and the package takes about a week or less to arrive in my mail box...

When I order something I always go the route of ordering products that Qualify for Free Super Saver Shipping and this is if you spend $25 or more. So far, I've Never spent one penney for Shipping for anything that I've gotten from Amazon.com.

From the Paypal site, you can get a "virtual" MasterCard number, and use it at any site (including Amazon) that accepts MC, to pay with your Paypal balance.

Although I have not gotten as near as much money on amazon cards like everyone else. I was able to purchase some music, 2 digital cameras, and a large package of candy. I think this is nice.:p
