Nice offer from Amazon, as part of early Prime Day offers.

Stack with [Targeted] AmEx Amazon Offer - $20 Cashback with $100 Spend, and that’s $25 worth of free money :D

You can add multiple smaller denominations to cart (e.g 2x $50, or 5x $20) - just note the minimum total is $100 in 1 transaction to qualify for the bonus.

During the promotional period, the first 10,000 Prime Members who purchase at least $100 in Amazon.com.au Gift Cards in a single transaction and enter the promotional code ‘GIFTCARD105’ in the ‘redeem a Gift Card or Promotional Code” box at checkout will receive a $5 promotional credit that can be used on a future eligible order. Your promotional credit will be automatically applied to your account within 5 business days after your order is shipped (for physical gift cards) or within 5 business days of your order being completed (for electronic gift cards). A confirmation email will be sent confirming that the promotional code has been applied to your account. Your promotional credit can only be used for purchases of eligible items shipped and sold by Amazon AU and will be applied during checkout. One promotional credit per account. Offer available for purchases made between June 18th and June 22nd 2021 and is valid while stocks last. See full terms and conditions below. The promotional credit can be redeemed until September 30th 2021, 11:59 PM (AEDT).

This is part of Amazon Prime Day sale for 2021

    Was 10 last year I remember

      I think the bonus $10 was from Prezee gift cards, not directly from Amazon IIRC.

    • +6

      Amazon US ran a '$10 bonus with $40 gift card' promo for their early Prime Day offerings this year 😭

      so jelly

      • +8

        It's $2 free money. You can always get 3% gc.

      • Do you have a link to the US offer? I have a US prime account and want to buy it but can't seem to find it.

  • +1

    That’s so generous, thanks Jeff! Meanwhile I would rather get 3% off Suncorp or 2% off ShopBack

    • +14

      My shopback hasn't tracked anything all year except eBay which it says will be $0.00. I love when it itemizes all the $0.00's for me too.

      • +3

        Congrats. Lol.

        Mine often says “rejected”. ;)

      • -3

        There's something wrong on your end, i NEVER missed a cashback

        • -1

          Lol okay you can count yourself lucky but going by the number of comments that have trouble with tracking, I’d say you’re in the minority

          • @tokyocalling: I dont understand why though. I have shopped a lot and most of them are 'small' transactions. Of course, all big ones have tracked well, and i got all the bonuses.

      • +3

        Shopback is trash these days, not worth the hassle and support tickets.

  • +15

    Had a feeling this would turn up and held onto the Amex offer :D Cheers

    • +3

      I was just lazy and hadn't purchased yet

    • Nice, could’ve alerted us in that deal.

    • +1

      The Amex offer works for gift cards?

      • +1

        Yes

      • +4

        Yes confirmed works

        • Quick question. If I buy the gift card, can I then take my time to use it?

          • @csider: Seriously……..the OP says: The promotional credit can be redeemed until September 30th 2021, 11:59 PM (AEDT). You have earned a Neg from me for laziness, sorry :-)

            Oops: you mean the Gift card: Yeah, take your time, they last a couple of years I believe.

            Sidenote: I tried to + my Neg to cancel it but it won't allow me? Sorry about that!

          • @csider: Amazon.com.au balance and gift cards do not expire.
            Balance is the gift card amounts applied to your Amazon account which have not been used for purchases.

      • +2

        Yes confirmed also

    • +1

      Lucky! Bought mine literally 12 hours before this was posted … another $100 spend for me I guess lol

  • -8

    Such credit will not only have a short expiry date also if you use it you will not get cashback. Getting such credit in ur account like a pain in ur ass, you need to spend it on some meaningless items before you can get cashback again

    • +6

      Only use it on non cashback item. Or with s&s purchase ( no cashback anyway) you can choose not to use it.

    • +1

      Can't say I have ever managed to get any Cashback from Amazon……….but I tend to buy Electronics, Computer stuff etc so always 0% on those. Eitherway, Paying by giftcard I don't believe prevents Cashback (or at least on Ebay it doesn't)…..must check Cashback conditions for Amazon.

      • Paying with any amount of promo credit will invalidate cashback. Might not be worth it for some.

    • +1

      No cashback on electronic items so in my case, the gift card is perfect

    • +3

      Everything I buy from Amazon doesn’t qualify for cashback anyways. So deals like this, I’m getting a saving when I normally wouldn’t.

  • +5

    Upvoting but won’t purchase as not up to previous offers.

    • 5% discount is not good enough?

      • +4

        Not really, when I still have credit from before and you need to add a large amount on.

      • +1

        Yeah.. It's pretty crap tbh. Lame offer by Bezos.

        Probably not buying anything from Amazon during prime anyway, at least not unless one of the cashback sites make up for Jeff.

  • +1

    So….Your promotional credit can only be used for purchases of eligible items shipped and sold by Amazon AU.
    Wonder what eligible items means? ALSO, does this mean for items held at Amazon warehouse and shipped directly from them i.e. cannot be used for items sold by sellers that ship direct?

    • +2

      I'm sure you can find something to buy surely. They have over million items.

      • Not nesessarily. Over the last year, nothing came from Amazon direct…..not that I buy a lot from Amazon. Plus must be used by 30th Sept so not a lot to see here for me!

    • +1

      According to the terms and conditions for this offer:

      The promotional credit entitles the customer who receives the credit to $5 off their future purchase of “eligible items” shipped and sold by Amazon AU. “Eligible items” excludes products sold by third party sellers including Amazon US and Amazon UK (Amazon Global Store) even if “fulfilled by Amazon”, digital purchases such as e-books, products that are not in new condition such as renewed products, subscriptions such as Prime Video and Audible, and postage or delivery rates.

      So looks like only items sold and shipped by Amazon AU.

  • Thanks OP, sure this will be used eventually

    • +2

      Eventually, meaning September when the promo credit gift card will expire? ;-)

      • Guess I'll need to set myself a reminder to find something worth $5 with free shipping on late Aug.

  • strange… for some reason i get an error applying the promo code ‘The promotional code you entered cannot be applied to your purchase.’

    • Are you a prime member?

      • yes

        • As ksquare mentioned, your item may not be an item sold and shipped by Amazon AU.

    • +1

      same thing happened to me, its because you already applied the code. try on your laptop and you should see the message

      • Thanks, the message came up when logged on a laptop. It’s stupid that the app doesn’t display the message and gives an error code.

      • Hi , I got the same thing happen on me , I already applied the code on my phone , but i cancel payment and do again , this time I cannot apply , so I just check out, will I get that $5 ?? Thx

        • If you don’t get the $5 just contact customer service and say you bought the $100 gift card and didn’t get the $5 bonus….they’re usual quite helpful.

  • It's more than 5 min but I still haven't received the gift card, haha

    • Takes time to verify.

      • 30mins still waiting for my amex to get charged :/

        • That took a while. Amex charged

    • Same waiting 10 mins, no charge on CC and still no email.

      • my order says scheduled…

        • same :(

          Something to look forward in the morning i guess.

    • They batch process, mine a few days ago from Amex promo took about 1 hr :|

      • Thanks for insight. Wont bother waiting. I wonder if it is batched processed, why say it takes estimate 5 mins.. -_-

        • Just got mine

          • @Turd: Nice!! Still nada from me, though im not refreshing like crazy. Gonna expect it in the morning.. nite!!

  • Strange, if I select Visa as payment, I can add promo code, but when I change to Amex, the promo box disappears?

    • try on your laptop, i think its a glitch on the app

      • Tried both. Will try again tomorrow morning.

        • Worked for me. I purchased thru cashrewards app. Dunno if it worked but was able to make my purchase using amex

    • Ok worked this morning, CONFIRMED Amex $20 cashback email received aswell!

  • +13

    Lol. A measly 5 Bux? Bit tight there Amazon

    • That's what I was thinking. I swear it's getting lower each year xD. Still purchased because I'm always spending here lmao

      • +5

        That's why it's getting lower each year..

  • Does this work on the app or do I have to use a computer?

    • +1

      App works fine

      • Thanks, I get this error code when I use GIFTCARD105

        ! The promotional code you entered cannot be applied to your purchase.

      • Thanks. Found the answer above. Need to log in a laptop. Doesn’t show on the app for some reason.

        • Update app

          • @Turd: App is updated. Might be different on iOS to Android?

  • +1

    Bought this with a $100 Coles Mastercard gift card that cost $92.61.

  • +1

    Went with a couple of physical cards, each in a novelty tin.

    • wait same lol I got the cupcake last time, now going for the classic Amazon wrapped box

  • All over? Code doesn’t work

  • I couldn't find the gift cards

  • Code worked for me on the app.

  • Yes! Got it!

  • Good stuff. I add gift card credit for my grocery delivery subscriptions so that it doesn't create lots of transactions.

  • Can you redeem these gift cards into your Amazon account and have a credit balance that would apply to all purchases and your monthly Prime membership?

    Or do you have to redeem these cards against individual purchases on Amazon?

  • Thanks bought one - cheers - hopefully something good comes up for Prime Day

  • Did the thing… Said code accepted so hopefully it works!

  • Thanks for the extra $1 Bezos from my normal paid with bigger tks $5.50 from $100 Coles MC . Could have use higher for more profit but mountain of these buggers to clear :)

  • Ozbargained?

    Says it cannot be applied to my order.

    • -1

      Possibly I can't apply to my next account.
      I'll stop at 2 .

      • +1

        So you have 2 prime accounts?

        • -1

          Yeap , My bad only 2 Prime accounts .
          Normal morning blues for me .

    • The promotional code you entered cannot be applied to your purchase.

      same

      *edit

      forgot my prime expired facepalm

      • Did it work for you after you renewed?

        I joined PRIME this morning and the promo code was successfully applied on my first try. Got distracted and it doesn't work for me anymore after I come back to check out. (remove and add a new gift card)

        • yep worked after i renewed,try their online chat they were quite responsive

          • @ssjwill: Thanks buddy!

            Edit: I had to get them to manually escalate this for me.

  • On desktop I’ve bought one already but if I put another $100 in my cart there is a message saying it qualifies for a bonus $5 even before I put in a code

    Not sure if you can get this multiple times then
