From Amazon vouchers and free trials of Amazon Prime to flash sales and tricks for free delivery
Let’s face it, Amazon is probably the one website that most people use pretty regularly, so it helps to have a voucher or discount stored up. Here are the best deals at the moment.
If you’re thinking of reducing how much you use Amazon, check out Andy’s article looking at why it can be good to cut back.
Some articles on the site contain affiliate links, which provide a small commission to help fund our work. However, they won’t affect the price you pay or our editorial independence. Read more here.
There are some decent offers throughout the year to watch out for. You won’t be eligible for all of them but it’s worth a look.
Amazon gift card and voucher offers
Snoop: £5 Amazon Voucher
Snoop is an app to help you track your spending. It also analyses your bank date to suggest ways you can save money. Right now there’s an offer to get a £5 Amazon voucher.
You must go via the link below for the offer to track.
Once you’ve downloaded the app and signed up you need to connect a bank or credit card account and stay connected until the end of the following month. The voucher will then be paid.
£30 credit card welcome offer
Sign up for the new Amazon Barclaycard and you’ll get £30 in Amazon credit added to your Amazon account. This is increased from the usual £20 promotion over the Black Friday sales and ends 8 December 2024.
If you had the previous iteration of the credit card you’ll probably see a £50 reward showing, as long as you’re signed in.
You’ll also earn 1% at Amazon and 0.5% elsewhere, dropping to 0.25% after a year. There are double points during the Black Friday sale.
Free credit when you buy a gift card
This one’s worth trying even if you’ve used a similar promotion. However you can normally only qualify once every couple of years. Check the offer is displayed when you click through. The latest offer we’ve seen offers £6 extra when you buy £60 in gift cards.
If nothing is displayed, it could mean it’s ended or you’re not eligible. These deals are often extended or return after a short absence.
£5 extra when you top up by £60
Similar to the gift card promotion, here you top up your Amazon account and get some extra credit added. The promo value changes often, but it’s currently £5 when you add £60.
If it is running, it’s only for any people who haven’t topped up their account in the last 36 months. Again, this deal can come and go, so it’s worth checking.
Amazon offers
Check eligibility for promotions
You might have personalised Amazon offers. It’ll show you trials and discounts you are eligible for. However, we still think it’s worth looking at the offers above and below in case they don’t show.
£5 off £15 spend
Some Amazon customers can get £5 off their next purchase of £15 or more. You have to click the button below to see if you can get the offer.
It’s valid on eligible products and is only available for 15 days after you’ve activated it. There are only 15,000 vouchers available, so if you want it, you’ll need to activate it now.
There are some restrictions on what you can spend it with — check the T&Cs for more info on this.
£15 voucher when you use the app
If you’ve got an Amazon account but you’ve never used the app, you may be eligible for this offer which gets you a £15 voucher (to spend against a qualifying £30 purchase) just for signing into the Amazon App for the first time.
You need to apply the promotion here, and it’s only available to the first 15,000 customers that claim it. Your voucher will only be valid for 15 days from the day you get it. There’s not currently an expiry date for the offer.
Amazon pickup: £3 off £10 spend
Amazon is offering select accounts £3 off when you use Amazon Pickup. This is where your order is sent to a pick-up location, such as an Amazon locker, for you to grab when you’re ready. Your order can’t be fulfilled by or sold by a third party.
This is valid until 31 December 2024. You need to claim the offer on the website and spend at least £10, then you’ll get £3 off as a reward.
Only those invited or who see a banner can access it. You can see if you’re eligible here. If so, hit the “apply promotion” button before shopping.
Only the first 20,000 customers can redeem this and you can only do it once.
Amazon Prime membership offers
Amazon Prime is Amazon’s big membership scheme. You can learn more in our comprehensive Amazon Prime review.
30-day free Amazon Prime trial every year
You know the drill here. You get free next day delivery, Amazon Prime Instant Video, access to Amazon Prime Now and loads of other goodies. It’s normally £95 a year but you can get a free 30-day trial.
You will hopefully be able to do this every 12 months, but it’s unclear if this is guaranteed for all customers. You can always try your luck (you never know), but if you’ve not yet taken out a trial, I’d wait until you’ve got a lot of spending coming up, or a big sale such as Prime Day or Black Friday (more on these below).
99p for one week of Amazon Prime
If you’ve previously had Amazon Prime but aren’t yet eligible again for a second free trial you might be offered a week for 99p. After this you’ll pay full price unless you cancel.
£2 off Prime via O2
If you have an O2 SIM you can now add Amazon Prime to your bill and receive a £2 discount each month. You’ll find the details here.
Amazon Student and 18-22 year-olds: six months free, then £47.49 a year
If you have a student card you should also be able to join Amazon Student. This is essentially Amazon Prime. You get six months free, then 12 months at half price. Amazon might ask for additional proof you are a student. You’ll get the student account for as long as you’re a student or for up to four years.
If you’re between 18 and 22 then you can get this too, but you’ll need to prove your age with a valid driving licence or passport. You can get this account until you’re 23.
Prime member offers
Free Kindle book
There are lots of ways to save on Kindle books, but Prime members can also nab one of six titles every month for free via First Reads. There’s normally a mix of genres and once you pick your book you can send it to your Kindle.
£15 Amazon credit when you back up your photos (ended)
If you’re a Prime member, you get access to Amazon Photos, which gets you unlimited photo storage and 5GB of video storage. If you’re yet to upload any photos to it, you might be eligible to get £15 credit when you upload at least one photo to the app.
You just have to download the app to do this, I chose to back up my entire camera reel, but you can upload individual photos too.
I had the credit on my account within 24 hours of backing up my photos. It can be used for any purchase of £30 or more. You can get the voucher until 23:59 on 28 November and the voucher is valid until 23:59 on 2 December.
Prime Big Deals Day 2024
This sale for Prime members is taking place on 8 and 9 October 2024. It’s pretty much a carbon copy of Prime Day. As soon as we spot any early offers, we’ll share them below.
As with Prime Day, don’t get carried away. Only buy the things you actually need, and check that they’re decent prices.
Don’t forget you’ll need to be a Prime member to get the offers – but we’ve listed deals above that’ll save you money or perhaps help you get it for free.
October’s Prime Big Deals Day sale
Amazon is running its special two-day sale for Prime Members on 8 and 9 October 2024. The autumn deal event could offer the chance to grab a bargain ahead of Black Friday and the Christmas sales.
It’s always worth shopping around and seeing if you can get the same item for less elsewhere, or with added features. If you do buy something at Amazon and the price drops during the sale you can get a refund for the difference.
Before the actual day, the offers are mostly on Amazon’s own products and devices.
Early offers include:
- Discounts on Echo devices – 31% to 58% off.
- Blink cameras and doorbells – 31% to 61% off
- Fire TV – 28% to 62% off
- Kindle Scribe – 24% off (just a few pounds off its cheapest price)
- Amazon Music Unlimited – get 4 months free (usually one month)
- discounts on branded gift cards, including Lego, Vue and One4All – details on our gift card deals page
Prime Day 2024
Prime Day is Amazon’s big sale just for Prime members. In 2024 it took place on 16 and 17 July.
It’s important to remember that not all the deals are the best price. Some are simply old stock that needs clearing, while others are often as cheap throughout the year. We’d recommend using uk.camelcamelcamel.com to see the price history before making any purchase
Most offers are product-specific, and we’d encourage you to check for price matching elsewhere, especially on tech like Echo speakers and Ring doorbells.
Prime Day: 16-17 July 2024 (ended)
Amazon is running its special two-day sale for Prime members on 16 and 17 July 2024. The summertime deal event could offer the chance to grab a bargain ahead of larger autumn sales such as Black Friday.
It’s worth shopping around and seeing if you can get the same item for less elsewhere, or with added features. If you do buy something at Amazon and the price drops during the sale you can get a refund for the difference.
As always the biggest discounts are on Amazon’s own devices, such as Kindle, Echo, Fire, Eero and Ring. If you’re new to TopCashback you can get a £20 bonus plus up to 3% back on these devices. We’ll add some here once they launch.
So far you can get:
- A free 5-month trial of Amazon Music Unlimited
- A £15 voucher when you upload your first photo to Prime Photos
Amazon Black Friday
Black Friday 2024
The Black Friday week of deals is at the end of November, but the sale starts before this and carries on after.
You need to have a Prime membership to get early access to the best deals, but the 30-day free trial will give you that.
If you’re after an Amazon device (Echo, Kindle, FireTV, Eero, Ring) then this is likely to be one of the cheapest times to buy.
Amazon Black Friday week 2024
Amazon started its Black Friday sales a week early, beginning on Thursday 21 November 2024 and it’ll run until Cyber Monday on 2 December.
Remember to use price history tools to check if something is a good price, and check you can’t get it for less elsewhere.
We’ll update here with the best deals, including:
- Up to 60% off Kindle, Alexa and Ring
- Automatic refund if price drops before 9 December after purchase between 21 November and 2 December 2024
- 2% discount for Prime members if you choose “no rush” delivery (won’t be available on all items)
- 20% discount on Amazon Resale (formally Warehouse)
- £25 off £80 on Morrisons order

Amazon device deals
There are offers most months, so if it’s at full price you should wait. If you’d rather not shop at Amazon then do check other retailers as they often price match the bigger discounts.
Amazon Business offers
Every now and then there are offers such as £50 off for new Amazon Business users. I’ll update here as and when.
It can take time to set up the account but you should be approved in around two days.
Amazon Business Amex: £25 credit and no annual fee

Our top Amazon money-saving tricks
We’ve written a separate article about how to save even more money at Amazon, including the following:
Hundreds of vouchers to use at Amazon
This page lists loads of coupons you can use to save at Amazon. You “collect” the voucher and the discount is automatically added at the checkout. There’s usually a typically random collection of products in this offer.
Andy,
Your comment in the Snoop offer about the £5 cashback is incorrect. You state that you ‘must’ use your link to get the offer, but you can just go to the Snoop website, sign-up, and you’ll get it according to their T&C’s
TikTok is only paying £3 in Amazon vouchers to referee and referer right now unfortunately, not £17 or £7 as it was in late November – December 2022 as you still have listed. I just signed up and noticed.
This info is very helpful thanks. I have a question though. Amazon keep inviting me to take out Amazon Prime Student which is obviously a lot cheaper than the full membership. But I’ve graduated from university and am no longer a student. Is it fraudulent if I take up their Student Prime offer? Maybe it’s best to be honest and go for the full price package…?!
If they are offering you the discount then I’d take it. I had the student price for about six years!
Hi Andy, I have topped up £50 with my Visa card but where do I find the £5?
Hi Ray, the Ts&Cs say it’ll automatically be applied at checkout.
I went to use the £5 off £25 purchase last night and it was finished 2 days before the deadline! How often does it get extended or come back
They come and go so it’s hard to say but if I spot new offers I’ll update them here on this page
Does anyone know if you can get a top up offer again by using a different email address? I assume you can’t but worth asking, though I suspect Amazon track it by address rather than email address so you can’t do this.
Would be nice to use a new email address to make a new Amazon account to take advantage of the £10 credit with first £40 top-up promotion again.
Yes
I opened one for my wife in nov as i couldnt get prime as already had the trail twice. Worked for me! Worth a go anyway nothing to lose
I was interested in buying a couple of Echo’s with the deal stacking but I noticed that Amazon Prime and Amazon Student doesn’t apply the same for more than 1
One Echo
£89.99 for £51.99 – 42.23% discount
Two Echo
£179.98 for £123.98 – 31.11% discount
It’s still a great deal but unsure how the more than 1 Echo discount applies?
I think you can do it twice as separate transactions
Hi Andy, I can’t work out how to apply the £5 promotion for using Amazon Assistant. I have installed it and a message came up about the code. But when I checkout (with Amazon only items) the £5 desn’t come off. Can you help?
First check there isn’t a box to tick below the payment choices lost. If not, try emptying your basket, closing down amazon and clicking through again. It might work then.
Or get on live chat and see if they’ll help!
Hi Andy, just to let you know that the section on this blog where you tell people about Amazon Prime for 30 days free, you have put the cost as £79 per month instead of per year! Thought you might want to rectify this.
Oh right! Will fix it now
Wow that is so helpful Andy! Thanks for sharing. I tried to avoid it as I don’t want to spend any money at all, but it’s certainly helpful for presents etc.
Yes, the temptation is huge isn’t it. I was quite subdued though ended up with two bottles of vodka, some lint rollers and a Friends box set. Not sure what this says about our life…
If you’ve got kids….when they’re invited to friends birthday parties, buy a CD for the present then your own child has access to the digital content via Amazon Music…..bonus
Right, everyone is getting a CD from me at Christmas then…
Tried to use the £10 off £40 code to buy whisky. Wouldn’t let me. Not valid on alcohol. ☹️
Ah rubbish. I stocked up on loads when I got it.
You didn’t use the code last year to get gin. You can’t use the code on alcohol. Pure lies
Hi Jane, they must have changed the terms of the code. Good for people still to use the code to know! Thanks.
Andy,
Thank you so much! I’m glad I caught this just in time for xmas! Will definitely be signing up!
