Amazon Prime Day is officially underway, and some of the best deals we’ve seen (aside from a free year of Grubhub+ for Prime members) involve free money in shopping credits you can earn through Amazon’s various promotional opportunities. As of right now, you can earn up to $264 in credits if you claim every offer.
Some of the offers require you to spend additional money to get credits, but others will grant you free credits in just a few simple steps. A few of the offers have limited availability so may sell out before the promotion ends. In most instances, the credits are only good on items sold directly by Amazon.com, not by third-party vendors.
