Free Amazon Prime for Your Christmas Shopping!

**This post includes Amazon referral and affiliate links.  Regardless I only post legitimate offers from trusted sites**

I’ve posted about it before but thought I’d share since it’s time for holiday shopping once again. As some of you might know Amazon Prime gives you free 2 day shipping on most items. They also give discount on some items for Prime Members. If you sign up for Amazon Mom there are a number of benefits. First, Amazon Mom in itself is free and you get 20% discounts on diaper and wipes purchases as well as “family essentials”  There will also sometimes be coupons for you to use and special deals for Amazon Mom members.  Now, when you sign up for Amazon Mom you also get 3 FREE months of Amazon Prime.  Yes there’s a catch, you’ll have to make sure you cancel you Amazon Mom membership before your 3 months is up or you’ll have to pay the $79 for Amazon Prime, unless of course you want to keep Amazon Prime (which if you shop Amazon a lot ends up being a good deal).

I bought so many things for Christmas already from Amazon and haven’t had to pay shipping and got the discounted prices.  Also note that it does say if you’ve taken advantage of this deal before you may not be eligible for the 3 free months so keep that in mind.

When I signed up for Amazon Mom they also gave me a $25 coupon to use towards my first qualified purchase of diapers which was a really nice discount. They also send you emails with special deals and discounts as well.

To show you some of the discounts, my son wants this LEGO train set

Regular Amazon price is $129.99 but Amazon Prime members get it for $118.74  That’s a savings of $11.25 (9%) .  I know it doesn’t seem like that much but considering my son is a LEGO fanatic and it’s rare to see LEGO on sale, I’ll take whatever discount I can get.

This one is huge savings. My youngest son want this Sonic Generations game for the Xbox 360.  Regular Amazon price is $49.95 but Amazon Prime member pay $17.45!! Seriously

Frugal Tips on What to Do with That Small Balance on Your Gift Cards

I’ll get VISA , Mastercard, or Amex gift cards in prize packs, review packs, or as gifts.  Sometimes I’d use the gift cards and there might be $1.10 left on the card or 35 cents.  For me it was hardly worth pull out the card and having the cashier do two payments for 35 cents on a gift card and forget about using it online.  So what do you do with it?  Well here’s two ideas.

generic gift card

Amazon allows you to purchase Amazon gift cards in amounts from 15 cents to $1000.  Any amount.  It doesn’t have to be an even amount.  So if you have $2.03 left on your VISA, MC, or Amex gift card you can use it to to purchase an Amazon gc in that amount and email it to yourself and apply it to your Amazon account.  Once you’re signed into your Amazon account, in the payment area choose “Purchase a Gift Card”, in the Ways to Send option choose email, then choose your design (ultimately it doesn’t matter the design) then for amount choose “set my own” and type in the exact amount left on your gift card and email it to yourself.   Then just apply it back to your account.

Another thing I like to keep those low balance major cc company gift cards around for is those freebie offers.  Every once in a while you’ll get that “free just pay $2 shipping” offer or an online coupon deal that you apply all your coupons to and you end up getting a $10 item for like $1.50 or something along those lines.  You can use those card for that too.
