Savvy Amazon shoppers know to look carefully at checkout for the offer to ‘get $1 digital credit when you choose no-rush shipping’ or similar offer. After a short COVID-19 hiatus, they recently brought back the program. This time around I find they often offer the $1 credit for choosing one day a week – ‘Amazon Day’ – to get your shipments, essentially a souped up version of no-rush shipping.
One big change I noticed showing for me: they now only offer the no-rush credit when you are buying two items. When buying 3 items, the credit is $1.50. Buying 4+ items, the credit is $2.
- When buying two items, you’ll get the offer, regardless of the price of the two items.
- When you have one item you won’t get the offer, regardless of the price of the one item.
- Buying two of a single item (one SKU/ASIN) counts as two items and triggers the no-rush offer.
- Works on anything fulfilled by Amazon, even if it’s not sold by Amazon.
This can change over time, but that’s the latest iteration I found in my account. Readers in the comments have different experiences, seems to vary by account.

Dp: offered $1.50 on airpods only when checking to see if I got the $20 moments credit. Didn’t get the credit 🙁
Bought 7 items the other day, all sold by Amazon – no credit. So there’s probably a frequency limit.
My offers come and go. Last week it came back for me at $1.50 per order, only one item required. I’m in Chicago. This is likely data driven based on their fulfillment center and delivery workflow needs in each area. I’ve done about a dozen single item orders in the last few days with 1.50 each.
Bought one item last night. Under $25 and got offered $1.50 no rush credit.
Only let me use $1 no-rush credit at a time even when I have like $15 of these.
That’s never happened to me.
I ordered a pair of shoes a couple of days ago. I hadn’t been offered the “no rush” option on any of our 6 accounts for at least 6 wks. They offered 1.50 on nr ship for the shoes. Just a dp. 1John 4:7-8
No change for me, haven’t gotten any for months. I’ve had several recent multiple item purchases, no offer. Just tried to checkout with 3 items, all shipped and sold by Amazon, and no credit offered. I do use these credits for kindle books.
I like Kindle books these days….
You can use the credit for software.
Yeah, last year I loaded up on the credits around the holidays, then redeemed them towards TurboTax in January. Worked out well.
I did the same. Not working this year though. Software downloads no longer on list of eligible items.
It must have been recent. I was checking the price on H&R Block software a couple of weeks ago and loaded it into my cart and the credit was applied. I didn’t buy though as I was waiting for a price drop. I did the same last night and it wasn’t applied. Camelcamelcamel,com is a great site for monitoring Amazon price changes and getting price alerts when your price target is met. Have you ever used it? I have found that tax software prices jump around a lot. You can also see the price history of an item on this site which is very helpful. Last year the H&R Block software dropped to $20 on Jan 19. I’m hoping for the same this year.
i have no interests in these digital credits.
DP: I had two separate 1-item orders yesterday (one for ~$11 and one for ~$18) and was offered a $1.50 credit for both.
