When you place an order with Amazon, if you use a credit card, you’ll automatically receive a welcome email with your unique code for a $10 Amazon gift card instantly. You’ll also find tons of other offers including magazine subscriptions, health and beauty products, and more!
If you’d rather not receive email offers or want to save the code for later, you can disable email notifications completely in your Amazon account (within the settings page).
You can find a similar deal at Walmart if you use an Amazon account there as well.
In this article, we’ll teach you how to use your Amazon and Walmart gift cards to complete your orders and get more Amazon and Walmart gift cards as a bonus!
Add A Card To Your Amazon Dashboard
Before you make any purchases, it’s important to add cards to your Amazon Dashboard. This is a central area within your Amazon account where you can see all of your past orders, track your orders, and manage your account. You can add cards to your Amazon Dashboard in several ways, like:
- Via a credit card
- Via a debit card
- Via a PayPal account
- Via a Google account
- Via an Apple account (if you use Apple Pay)
- Or any other method (contact the appropriate customer service representative)
If you don’t have a Google account, Apple account, or Dashboard yet, you can create one (for free) via Google or Apple. Once you have a Google account, you can use it to create a Dashboard (available as a dashboard app for iPhone). Alternatively, you can create a Dashboard via the Amazon web interface (at dashboard.amazon.com).
Use Your Card
Once you have cards on your Dashboard, you can use them to make purchases. Remember: all cards work in all regions—no matter where you are or where you shop. You can use your card at any Amazon physical store, as well as online via their website. You can use your card to make purchases in the following ways:
- In-store purchases
- One-click shopping
- Buying widgets (small images within an ordered list that allow you to add products to your cart easily)
- Fancy dress items
- Pet products
- Travel goods
- And more
You can find dozens of offers on the Amazon website including health and beauty products, electronics, toys, clothing, and accessories. You can use your card to make purchases in any store within the Amazon network. However, as we mentioned above, all cards work in all regions. So you can use your card to make purchases at any Walmart store, as well as online via their website. You can use your card to make purchases in the following ways:
- In-store purchases
- One-click shopping
- Travel goods
- Jewelry
- Pet products
- Electronics and much more
You can track your orders easily within your Amazon account. Simply log into your Amazon Dashboard, and then click on the My Orders link at the top. From here you can see all of your past orders and any notifications you may have received from Amazon about your orders.
Make A List Of Products You Need
When you get the $10 Amazon gift card, you’ll have enough money to buy any item within the Amazon store. However, you may not want to buy every item immediately. Some people prefer to shop for big purchases later on a paid vacation using a credit card with cashback benefits or with their company’s debit card. This way, they can spend more without risking a limit on their account.
If this sounds like something that would be useful to you, make a list of the items you need. Then, when you get the $10 Amazon gift card, you’ll have enough money to buy only what you need. When you do purchase something on your list, make sure you use a credit card so you can get the cashback benefits (if you’re paying with a credit card).
Use Your Cashback Benefits
If you have enough cashback benefits to cover the purchase of one of your products on your list, use them. Otherwise, you can’t purchase anything until you spend cash on your next Amazon purchase. Fortunately, you have the option of using your cash back benefits on anything within the Amazon store. This means you can potentially get more products than you could feasibly buy with the $10 Amazon gift card.
Some people like to stack their cash back benefits on items within the Amazon store. They figure, since the benefits are available for everything, why not? If this sounds like something that would be useful to you, take advantage of your cash back benefits. Remember, you’ll need to use a credit card to do this. Not all debit cards qualify you for cashback benefits.
Get More Cards
If you use your credit card at Amazon, you’ll receive a $10 Amazon gift card automatically. To get additional cards, you can either:
- Get a new credit card
- Earn $10 gift card every month
- Deposit $500-$1000 within 25 days of account opening
- Take a survey
- Refer a friend and get $20 gift card
- Complete a paid offer
There are lots of ways to get additional cards. Just keep using your credit card at Amazon and you’ll continually earn $10 Amazon gift cards every month. Remember, you’ll need to have at least one Amazon credit card to take advantage of this offer. If you haven’t yet, you can get a free Amazon credit card with no annual fee if you shop online via their website and use their store and bank accounts. You’ll find this option within the Amazon website on the My Account page. Otherwise, you can apply for a card from the neighborhood bank or credit union. You’ll need a deposit to apply, but it’s usually only a few hundred dollars. You can still use your credit card to make the deposit, and then the card will be issued immediately.
Redeem Your Gift Card
Once you have a $10 Amazon gift card, you’ll need to redeem it. You can do this by:
- Head to any Amazon store
- Select the ‘redeem’ option from the menu
- Enter the six-digit code from your card in the appropriate field
- Press the ‘submit’ button
- Your card will be credited with $10 and displayed as ‘active’
- Click on the ‘view details’ link to track your order
As you can see above, once you’ve redeemed your card, it will show your purchase as completed. You can then click on the “My Account” button at the top to access your Dashboard and get your free $10 Amazon gift card once again. You can use this card to continue shopping at Amazon or to apply the money to your bank account.
