If you're a heavy Amazon user like me, you've probably wondered: is it possible to get what you want without actually paying for it? The answer: yes. Every month I earn Amazon gift cards through a few simple methods—and it’s really not complicated at all. Filling out surveys, playing mini‑games, uploading shopping receipts… all of these can be exchanged for gift cards or cash.
This article will show you 6 reliable platforms, plus how to get Amazon Prime at a lower price (or even free). If you want to save money while shopping, these practical tips are worth your time.
“Free gift cards” sounds like a scam to many people, but the basic logic behind these platforms is simple: brands are willing to pay to understand user behavior, you’re willing to provide feedback, and both sides get what they need.
For example, you might:
None of these take much time, but if you can turn them into Amazon gift cards, isn’t that more worthwhile? Especially since you can buy almost anything on Amazon—gift cards are essentially cash.
Below I’ll recommend platforms based on how hard they are to use and how fast the rewards come, so you can pick what fits your schedule.
Best for: People who want to improve financial literacy and earn a bit on the side
Zogo is a very unique app. Instead of having you do boring surveys, it has you answer personal finance questions to earn points. For example:
Each correct answer earns you points, and once you’ve accumulated enough, you can redeem them for Amazon gift cards or other rewards. You learn something useful while making money, which is far more meaningful than just grinding surveys.
My experience: The questions are not hard, and you can collect points by spending about 5 minutes a day. If you already want to learn about personal finance, this app kills two birds with one stone.
Best for: People who need cash quickly
The biggest advantage of Eureka is instant payout—once you complete a task, your gift card or PayPal cash is credited immediately.
Ways to earn:
Real example: Once I urgently needed to buy something but my budget was short. I did a few quick tasks on Eureka and earned a $5 Amazon gift card in about 20 minutes. That kind of instant payout can really save the day.
Tip: If you want to accumulate quickly, prioritize higher‑paying “download app” tasks, as they usually pay better than surveys.

Best for: People willing to spend more time to earn more
I’ve been using Swagbucks for over 10 years, and it offers a wide variety of ways to earn:
Why I recommend it: If you already like mobile games, Swagbucks’ game-related tasks let you “play and earn.” For example, some strategy games pay $50–$200 once you reach a certain level.
Redemption options are plentiful: Amazon, PayPal, Target, Walmart, Apple, and many more—almost anything you’d want.
Best for: Gamers
Pogo is similar to Swagbucks, but it focuses more on game-related tasks. If you don’t enjoy surveys but don’t mind playing some casual or strategy games, this platform might be perfect.
Besides games, it also supports:
My suggestion: Prioritize game genres you already enjoy, so it doesn’t feel like “work” but rather like earning while being entertained.
Best for: Frequent shoppers
This is an Amazon‑official program designed to collect data on user shopping habits. What you do:
Important: The app is currently invite‑only, but you can still download it and try—many people (myself included) could use it even without an invitation.
Real experience: Every time I go grocery shopping I take a photo of the receipt and upload it. I can accumulate about $5–$10 in Amazon credit each month. It’s not huge, but it literally takes almost no effort.
Best for: Non‑US users + those who want many gift card options
InstaGC is a website (not an app), and it stands out because:
Ways to earn:
Best use case: If you need a gift card quickly (for example, to use today), InstaGC’s instant redemption is very convenient.
If you shop on Amazon frequently, Prime is almost essential—free shipping, Prime Day discounts, video and music services, etc. But at $14.99 per month, it’s not cheap. Are there ways to save?
Amazon offers a Prime for Young Adults plan:
If you’re in this age group, or your child is, go to the MasLogin Help Center for more details.
If you receive EBT, Medicaid, or Medicare benefits, you can apply for Prime Access:
Extra perk: You can share your membership with another adult in your household, effectively letting two people use Prime for the price of one.
If you’ve never used Prime before, you can sign up for a 30‑day free trial. It’s smart to start your trial right before Prime Day so you can grab the biggest deals with your free membership.
Yes, but don’t expect to get rich. If you spend 15–30 minutes a day, you can usually make around $20–$50 a month in gift cards or cash. The key is to pick platforms that fit you—for example, choose Pogo if you love games, or Eureka if you want fast cash‑outs.
InstaGC supports multiple countries; for the others, check their official sites. If you often need an anti‑detect browser to manage multiple accounts, tools like MasLogin can also help you work more efficiently.
If you buy from Amazon at least twice a month, Prime usually pays for itself just in saved shipping fees. Add in Prime Day deals and video content, and the value is hard to beat. It’s best to start with a free trial and see if it fits your habits.
