Amazon Prime Rewards Card

With the Amazon Prime Rewards Card I get so much cash back a month, I can’t keep track sometimes. That is why this is the only credit card I will allow myself to have. I get so much cash back with it that any purchase I make on Amazon is free most of the time! With the Amazon Prime Rewards Card you can get 1%-5% back on purchases, depending on where you make the purchase. You get 5% back if the purchase is at amazon.com, 3% back if the purchase is at restaurants, gas stations and drug stores and 1% back on all other purchases. The best thing about this card is no matter where you are, you are atleast always getting a portion of your cash back!

  1. Hey! Someone in my Facebook group shared this website with us so I came to take a look. I’m definitely loving the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Fantastic blog and amazing style and design.

  2. I’m really impressed with your writing skills and also with the structure to your blog. Is that this a paid topic or did you customize it your self? Anyway stay up the nice quality writing, it’s rare to look a great weblog like this one these days..

  3. Amazon is my favorite one..but I didn’t know there is so many other programs that can help to save money when we shop. Going to sign up with some of them. Thanks for sharing.

  4. I have eBates and Amazon Prime Rewards and while I don’t remember to use eBates, Amazon is a regular for me. I will check out the others as they would come in handy when I need additional discounts.

  5. I love Topcashback besides Ebates, because they offer sometimes even better cashback. Thank you for these tips! I just got the Amazon card and loving it.

  6. I love online shopping because of all the savings too! I have heard of some of those options but not others like Honey. I will have to check it out!

  7. I use ebates but its really only good on my computer because my browser reminds me to login. When on my phone and apps I do not get the notifications. It would be nice to buy everything online but its not possible for some stuff.

  8. I have grown very knowledgeable shopping online over the last two years. Living in Korea and not being tiny boned, shopping online is the only way I can find clothes that fit.

  9. Awesome! I’m all about saving money, and living in the sticks I like to shop online. Thank you! I hadn’t heard of a few of these.

  10. Great tips. So many of us shop online now. We need to be more savvy about it, as the retailers are saving and making money through the huge surge in online shopping.

  11. I just recently became a HUGE fan of online shopping! And you can’t go wrong with saving money 🙂 Thanks for the tips, I will be definitely checking these out!

  12. I do almost all of my shopping on line. It is too people-y to shop in stores. I also love Beatles and Groupon.

  13. I have been considering signing up for Amazon Prime, but haven’t yet. This was just the boot I need 🙂

  14. Ooo this are all great tips. I just downloaded honey and am really excited to see what discounts it finds for me! Thanks for sharing, this is so helpful!

  15. I signed up for Be Frugal and Top Cash Back! 🙂
    How do these compare to Ebates? I’ve been using Ebates for awhile now and I’m in love with how they work, but it’s still great to get some savings from them. What are the big differences between these three? Thanks!

    1. TopCashBack is suppose to have the highest cash back rates but befrugal also claims they do. I believe they both have about the same but are BOTH higher than ebates. But ebates gives you the most money for referrals. Try them all and you won’t lose ;).
