Over on our Amazon deals page, we’ve got a couple of deals where you get extra money when topping up your account or buying a gift card. These offers tend to run most of the year, though they are normally only for people who haven’t done either of these in the last three years.

Discounted “work-perk” gift card trick, including John Lewis
I’ve written in detail about how you can get access to discounted gift cards, including John Lewis and Marks & Spencer, if you open up a Scottish Friendly ISA.
WARNING! I have been caught out with gift cards before. Some retailers do not let you use any discount codes when you use credit or gift cards, e.g. Uber Eats. So if you have for example a 5% off gift card you wont be able to use your 20% off voucher, losing out big time!
Hi Andy, great blog. Do you know if Monese will offer the Giftcards at all this year. I upgraded 2 months ago because they said if I upgrade I will get the Giftcard offers and then nothing. Did I miss the Giftcard offers?
Cheers
On latest Monese one (22April) the GROC50 doesn’t work for the £50 but instead you need to have £90 in the account and it gives you a £100 gift card instead…go figure! Foxed me for a while. I guess by now there won’t be any codes left anyway.
as always sold out – no point!
Yeah it’s frustrating as you’ve got to be quick! I shared it on social media as soon as I spotted the email in my inbox and I think it stuck around for a good 5 hours before expiring.
Cheers Andy, the code worked nicely for me. Nice to get little bonuses like this for following your blog, always an interesting read.
It didn’t work for me, said the code was for new customers only!
It should work now. Let me know if it goes through when you try again
Code is NOT working for current customers and says
Sorry! This code is only for new shoppers
Shame!
It should work now. Can you try again and let me know?
Was too late Andy! Maybe next time?
Hi Andy. Unfortunately the iTunes code for today (7 Dec) at Zeek is “only for new shoppers” so does not work for me when I put in a £50 iTunes voucher 🙁
I tried it this afternoon and it worked. Thanks Andy.
Very misleading title, Zeek do not offer Amazon as a retailer
They do!! There’s often no discount, but when you add in these codes you can make a saving
Its bonkers to get 10% discount you have to spend £100 but you might want anything else then
great blog as usual. worth pointing out that tesco gift card require £1.50 for postage, so only really worth doing in store in my opinion
