The Offer
Direct Link to offer (might be targeted)
- Get .5% cashback on all Amazon.com purchases when you shop through the Swagbucks portal.
Select categories like Amazon devices or Prime membership get more, but all purchases get at least .5% with the exception of gift cards, prepaid cards, and currency purchases.
The Fine Print
- ‘This offer won’t last long’
Our Verdict
Stephen from Frequentmiler reported getting an email about this offer, though others say they aren’t seeing it. Personally, I didn’t get an email, but I see it when searching Amazon on Swagbucks so apparently I’m eligible.
In the past, Amazon has always barred portals from offering cashback for shopping on Amazon. The email of this offer notes that this won’t last long, and I’m guessing it’s just some sort of short thing Amazon decided to run; possibly they’re doing it specifically with Swagbucks since it’s not technically ‘cashback’ (though Swagbucks can be redeemed for Paypal cash or gift cards). Will be interesting to see if this develops further with other portals offering more (as the actual amount Amazon pays their affiliates is usually much more than .5%) or if it’s just a limited-time thing with Swagbucks.
We appreciate all who shop through our own Amazon affiliate link, but always recommend readers should keep the money for themselves and use a shopping portal when available.
If you’re new to Swagbucks, please read our review. You can also get a bonus of up to $13 by using a referral link.

Targeted… no go for me. Would have used Doc’s link, anyway… John 3:16
0.5%..thanks? I’d rather support DoC with their link, especially if they’re getting a better referral %
None for me
0.5% is really not impressive by itself but it’s icing on top if you are stacking it with other amex offers.
My email offer says I have unlocked exclusive access to cash back. Maybe they base it on how many tickets you send them. 😉
Drop offers 0.1% too and it’s card-linked/stackable.
nothing for me
I miss the days of getting 5% cashback from giving assistant on gift cards first and then on real purchase using gift cards. JetBlue points was very nice too.
Gone already
Might be targeted, so maybe you just aren’t targeted. Let me add a note.
