6 Easy Ways To Save Money When Shopping On Amazon – SlashGear

If you regularly use Amazon, subscribing to Amazon Prime can save you money. The subscription service offers a multitude of benefits, including free Two-Day Shipping and Same-Day Delivery, depending on the items and your location. Also included are exclusive discounts on certain products, as well as a 30-minute head start on Lightning Deals. Amazon Prime also allows you to order groceries through Amazon Fresh and/or Whole Foods Market. Perhaps most famously, Amazon Prime members have access to Amazon Prime Video, which isn’t just a small side-perk but a full streaming service in its own right, which includes a huge library of films and TV shows, as well as award-winning original content.

Additionally, Prime members get access to Amazon Music and discounts for Amazon Music Unlimited, plus a free monthly Twitch channel subscription of their choosing, free games, and other gaming benefits through the brand’s Prime Gaming platform. Like with most subscription services these days, Amazon Prime isn’t immune to price hikes, and is currently $14.99 per month or $139 per year. However, there are some ways to get a discounted Amazon Prime membership.

You can also get additional discounts by using the Amazon Prime Visa card. It’s no different than using a typical credit card, but it comes with many perks that are particularly beneficial if you often shop on Amazon, including 5% cashback on purchases from Amazon, Whole Foods, and Chase Travel, 2% cashback at restaurants, gas stations, and for other transit purchases, and 1% cashback for everything else. This money can easily be redeemed and applied to Amazon purchases with just a single click. You don’t even need Amazon Prime to apply for the card, and other similar Amazon cards with varying benefits are also available.
