Amazon Prime Day 2022 is right around the corner. You'll find some of the year's steepest discounts from July 12 to July 13, though some competing Prime Day sales go even longer.
This year, shoppers can get up to 25% off select gift cards from brands such as Amazon, Airbnb, Grubhub, Nordstrom, Old Navy, UberEats, and more. You can find the full list of discounts and gift cards here.
Additionally, Prime members get a $12.50 promotional credit when they buy a $50 Amazon gift card purchase or reload anytime from July 12 to July 13. All you have to do is be a Prime member, add the $50 Amazon gift card or reload to the cart, and click the yellow "apply code to your account" button on the page or use the code "EGCPRIME22" in the "Gift Cards and Promotional Codes" box during check out.
The $12.50 credit should show up in your account within two days after your order was completed. There are some strings attached to the promotional credit: for instance, you can't use it on products sold by third parties or on other gift cards, you have to use it by August 28, 2022, and $12.50 is the maximum you can earn.
This deal ends at 11:59 p.m. PT on July 13, 2022 — or whenever supplies run out.
Other ways to get Amazon store credit to use on Prime Day
If you have an Amazon Prime Store Card, you can earn 6% back on your Amazon.com Prime Day 2022 purchases, and 5% back on your usual Amazon purchases. Points earned with Amazon purchases can be redeemed as a statement credit or used as future Amazon store credit. There's no annual fee, either.
