The Offer
Direct Link (our affiliate link here and below, thanks for supporting the site)
Amazon Cash is a new program which allows us to add funds to an Amazon account in a retail store like CVS, Gamestop, Speedway, Sheetz, Family Fare and more. As part of the full rollout, Amazon has a special offer:
- Get free $5 Amazon credit toward a future purchase when you add $25 to your Amazon account in-store using the Amazon Cash program
Simply get your Amazon Cash bar code (have it open on your phone or take a picture of it or a print out of it), have the store scan it using their scanner, enter the amount you want to add (e.g. $25) and pay as you normally would. After you add $25 or more to your Amazon Balance using Amazon Cash, you will receive an email confirming that the $5 credit has been added to your Amazon account.

Our Verdict
Launch offer was a $10 credit for a $20 load. Unless you really need the $5 Amazon credit I’d honestly just wait for a better deal to come back, I think we will definitely see higher than $5 in the future. Still, I know some readers will just want to bank this $5 savings going into the shopping period. As always we list all of the ways to save on Amazon here.
The T&C mention an email will be sent when the $5 credit is ready. How long does it take for this email to arrive? I haven’t received any emails for loading $25 into Amazon Cash.
How can I avoid to type name and email address every time ?
This is only for the first time consumer
wouldn’t taking advantage of the prior $10 offer negate the ability to get the $5 bonus this time?
Sure would.
If I took advantage of the $10 credit a couple months ago, I can still do this one, correct?
2nd bullet point under fine print.
sounds like no.
Offer limited to the first time a customer uses Amazon Cash.
Incorrect
Too much work for a paltry $5.
I’ll wait for a better offer.
FYI Above the fine print section there is a paragraph with the initial launch offer of $10 credit after $20 load. It likely will confuse some readers.
Thought I had edited all of that, apparently not. All fixed now.
