How to Get Free Stuff on Amazon

Download and Stream Free Music

Amazon has thousands of free MP3s that anyone can download and stream for free. There's not even a limit. Take as much as you want. You can sort the music by release date, time, and more, and filter by customer ratings and genre.

If you're an Amazon Prime member, you get free access to Amazon Music Prime, where you can stream millions of songs, on-demand and without ads. The Amazon Music app lets you listen and create playlists.

Watch Free Movies and TV Shows

If you subscribe to Amazon Prime, Prime Video lets you stream thousands of movies, TV shows, and original programming from Amazon. It works on all kinds of devices, and you can even download some of the titles for offline viewing.

If you like the idea of Prime Video but don't want to subscribe, Amazon also has some videos and shows available at no cost. It has loads of high-quality movies that you can watch for free as many times as you want, as long as you can put up with the ads.

Read Free Kindle eBooks

Prime member or not, everyone can read free Kindle books from Amazon's Top 100 Free Kindle eBooks. I like to sort by genre to find specific titles. There are also limited-time offers for free Kindle books that changes almost daily, so be sure to check the list often.

Amazon Prime members can get unlimited reading for more than 1,000 books and magazines with Prime Reading.

Get Free Amazon Credits and Gift Cards

An Amazon credit is money Amazon puts into your account for making a purchase or even getting something that's already free to begin with.

These credits come and go, but in the past, there have been $5–$20 credits for downloading free apps or signing up for free trials of their services. Prime members also get credits for digital items for choosing a slower shipping speed.

A few times a year, Amazon has deals on Amazon gift cards. These work by purchasing an Amazon gift card during the promotion and then you'll get an additional $5–10 gift card on top of that. You can send all the Amazon gift cards to yourself and apply them to your account.

Here are a few more tips:

• Trade in used electronics. If they approve what you send them, you'll get an Amazon gift card equal to the item's appraised value, and up to 20 percent off a new Amazon device.
• Scan receipts with Amazon Shopper Panel. This is an app that awards you up to $10 of Amazon money per month, which you get by simply scanning receipts.
• Advertise with Amazon Associates. This is an affiliate marketing program that pays out monthly Amazon gift cards when people buy things on Amazon through your special links. It's free to use, easy to set up, and works for websites, YouTube channels, and more.
• Use your Amazon Rewards card. Yes, you technically need to spend money to make it, but you'll get 1–5 percent cash back in the form of Amazon points. If you're looking for a credit card and you already get most of your things through this retail giant, this might be one of the best ways to get Amazon-ready cashback.

Get Free Shipping

There are two ways to get free shipping when you shop at Amazon.

If you're a Prime member, one of the benefits is that you get free two-day shipping with no minimum purchase. You can also get standard shipping, no-rush shipping, and release date delivery for free. If you live in certain cities, you may also be able to get free one-day, same-day, or even 2-hour delivery.

If you're not a member, free shipping is still available as long as your purchase is $25 or over and the items you're buying are eligible.

Listen to Free Audiobooks

There are a few ways to get free audiobooks on Amazon, but you'll need to either be a Prime member or sign up for a free trial of Audible.

Amazon Prime members can listen to free audiobooks through the Audible app or website. This's a free section of the app that features free audiobooks in a variety of genres, plus some original audio series.

If you haven't yet purchased a subscription, you can sign up for the Audible free trial which will get you two free audiobooks upon signup. You can keep subscribing for $14.95 a month after that or cancel Audible at any time.

Receive Free Items to Review

Amazon Vine is a program that gives customers free items of all types to keep in exchange for an honest review of them.

The products you may get include items that haven't been released yet. These are given by the publisher, studio, manufacturer, label, or any other vendor who wants to participate.

Amazon Vine is an invitation-only program. You can get noticed by Amazon by writing honest and fair in-depth reviews. Once you've got their trust, and they've got a product to review that you'd be a good fit for, they'll email you and ask you to become a Vine Voice and write a review in exchange for the item.
