Amazon is having another Prime Day on October 11 & 12, basically another day of deals. Here are the low-hanging fruit like a $10 gift card credit and a few select deep-discount deals. Otherwise, I check on the things I need to buy anyway and try to stack them with the Shop with Points offers (like $10 off $10.01 purchase with Discover).
As the name suggests, most deals require a Prime membership. New members can sign up for a 30-day free trial. If you’ve already done the trial, you can simply buy a month of Prime for $14.99 ($6.99 with EBT or Medicaid card).

I’m not seeing a $10 discount when I add a $50 amazon egiftcard. Is there a trick to that one?
Not seeing it either, and it’s probably the only deal I’m interested in.
I noticed that in the small print it says that you are not eligible for the deal if you have purchased a gift card in the past year. I assumed that’s why it didn’t work for me…
I also don’t see it. I added it to the cart, selected the payment method, and got right up to the point of placing the order but no mention of a $10 credit.
Comments on SlickDeals suggest Amazon is restricting the gift card promotion to those who have not purchased a gift in the past 12 months. Lot’s of unhappy campers, myself included!
For the $10 promotional gift card, go to the Prime Day Deals main page, then filter by ‘Gift Cards’. It will show you which gift card purchases qualify for the $10 Amazon promotional gift card. When I just looked the only ones available were for Fanatics, IHOP, and the restaurant group that includes BJ’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, etc.
Apparently, the $10 credit is ONLy good if you haven’t bought a card in the last 12 months! Hate the fine print and exclusions
Good, thanks for mentioning this, I have a couple things to get on Amazon, I’ll make sure to snag them before the end of the deals tomorrow!
I would think 90% or more of Prime members have purchased a gift card in the last 12 months, I have as gifts.
Unfortunately, the official Amazon preview press release did not include the 12-month fine print. I don’t think it’s a good look for them either.
Both TV deals are not at the price listed in the post. Maybe there was a limited quantity at that price. The price history of the item did not show the lower price either.
The source for those prices is this post from official an Amazon website: https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/retail/amazon-prime-early-access-sale-best-deals
