The clock is ticking and if you’re still shopping for Mother’s Day gifts Amazon is trying to make it a little easier. That is, if you’re a Prime member.
Through May 14, Prime members who purchase Amazon eGift cards valued at $50 or more (opens in new tab) will receive a free $5 Amazon promotional code (opens in new tab). It’s a minor credit, but it’s essentially free money you can get from Amazon. Additionally, nothing’s stopping you from purchasing the eGift card for yourself and pocketing the $50 card and $5 credit. (You can then use that to get mom a cooler Mother’s Day gift).
The deal is very easy to activate. Simply visit the Amazon Gift Cards page (opens in new tab), purchase at least $50 worth of Amazon eGift cards, and you’ll get a $5 promo code via e-mail.
Be aware that you must be a Prime member to get this deal. Furthermore, the promotion works only once per account; if you buy $100 worth of eGift cards, you won’t get $10 worth of credit, in other words.
If you’re not already an Amazon Prime subscriber, you can try a free trial (opens in new tab) today; it’s the only way to access a number of Amazon deals, including this one. Plus, you’ll get access to Prime Day deals when they’re available later this summer. Make sure to follow our Amazon Memorial Day sales coverage for the best Amazon deals this month. Otherwise, Amazon has released a new batch of Mother’s Day sales you can shop below:
