Personal experience: how to save by buying on Amazon

Amazon - my favorite store. Almost everything is there (even “Vanish” from the Czech Republic or Thailand). And most often - at very attractive prices. Today I'll gather everything I know about how you can make the most of this giant for the benefit of your wallet.

Use Amazon Prime

On this link you will receive a free month of subscription. This is an annual subscription to free 2-day shipping within the USA plus many additional services (digital content - music, videos, books, free unlimited photo storage, early access to sales).

Look in Amazon goldbox

This is a section with daily discounts and offers from Amazon: useful if you need something from a specific category, or you are generally waiting for good offers. For monitoring it is best to subscribe to the newsletter.

Do not pass by used goods

Open Box and Used — a section with used goods (Amazon has a trade-in program for some categories of goods) or which were sold but did not fit. Or the packaging was damaged, and there is also a discount for that. Here's how you can see the details of why the product is given a discount:

Have others been given a discount? Claim yourself

Amazon has something called "price adjustment": If the price of an item drops within 7 days, you can contact customer service and ask for a refund of the difference (and you will be refunded). Contact customer support here. or by mail / phone.

Look for helpers

If you don’t buy at Amazon for the first time, you’ve probably seen that prices regularly jump from them. And it is not clear whether this is a good offer or not. Great, that this problem was solved by the guys from CamelCamelCamel. Here, for example, is a summary of most beloved toys of my children. If everything in the world was so clear and well analyzed!

It works like this: you enter the URL of the product, and the services show how its price has changed. See and decide whether to wait for the best deal or buy now.

Look for coupons from the manufacturer

There are coupons on Amazon, but usually they are highly dependent on the manufacturer. There are practically no coupons for everything. A few years ago it was also such that they sent a coupon at a discount if you collected the basket but did not pay it. Now this has not seen for a long time. Coupons by manufacturers I look at Honey (this is a browser extension) or Coupons.com

Use promo code

No coupons - no problem, but there is a $5 referral promo code (share yours with others) when purchasing through the phone app. You need to go through this link and perform all the actions. After that, you will be credited with a $ 5 coupon, it will be visible at the very end, with a checkout. Applies to products that Amazon sells itself. For example, for owners of Apple hardware, I strongly recommend that you take here is this charging cordIt is certified by Apple itself and is not torn as their own. At home, we have 2 longs for more than a year, and nothing happens to them.

Save with Android

But for owners of devices on Android, it makes sense to try to put an application store from Amazon Underground. Amazon itself advertised it as a way to save $ 10k on Android apps.

Gift cards are the slimmest chance

Hunting for Amazon gift cards at a discount is possible, but almost hopeless. This product is popular, and I have not seen significant discounts on it. But maybe you are more lucky.
