Over 85% of UK shoppers use Amazon, so chances are you have shopped with Amazon recently. Whether it is for the latest technology, your weekly food shop or a book you’ve had your eye on, you can buy nearly anything and everything on Amazon. That’s why learning how to earn free Amazon gift cards is a great way to help your finances and save your money for other things.
Collecting Amazon gift cards throughout the year can be extremely useful when it comes to expensive times of year like Christmas, Birthdays or Wedding Season. I have also found them very helpful for those unexpected purchases. Like when your headphones suddenly break, or you need a new kitchen appliance as soon as possible.
You will be surprised by how many different ways you can earn free Amazon gift cards online so let’s take a look at them all now!
Receipt Scanning
Amazon Shopper Panel
To kick it off, we have one of the easiest ways to earn Amazon gift cards, with Receipt Scanning.
Amazon Shopper Panel is a very simple app where you can upload 10 receipts every month and get rewarded with a £5 Amazon voucher. The best thing is that the receipt can be from almost anywhere! (except amazon).
The app is designed to help Amazon decide what to sell by researching what customers are buying elsewhere.
So with just 10 receipts per month you can make £60 worth of Amazon gift cards in a year! A great start for Christmas!
You can also do the occasional survey on the app to gain an extra 50p here and there.
Finally, you have the option to allow the app to track what amazon ads you see on your mobile device. It is a simple opt in or out where if you opt in you will earn an extra £2 every month.
I have been using Amazon Shopper Panel for three months now and have made £7.75 and then £8.75, and I am on track to make atleast £7.00 this month! For little to no effort from me, this is a great profit!
And you don’t even have to cash out! Your Amazon gift card balance will be automatically updated at the start of the next month!
The only negative to this app is that it is so good that there is a waitlist! So make sure you go to your app store, download and sign up for it now! (Some people get in within weeks and others months… it took me about 6 months to be invited, which is a lot but trust me when I say it was worth the wait!).
Shoppix
The other receipt scanning app that you can earn amazon gift cards from is Shoppix.
Shoppix works in a very similar way to Amazon Shopper Panel, but for each receipt you scan you receive tokens. You can then accumulate enough of these tokens to redeem Amazon gift cards, other gift cards or cash via Paypal.
This will take longer to build up and many more receipts, but it is still very worth it as you are getting money for nearly no work!
You can also boost your tokens with surveys or win tokens by getting scratch cards in the app.
Unfortunately, this app also has a waitlist, which I am currently in! So be sure to sign up quickly so you can get earning as soon as possible!
Surveys
Attapoll
Completing Surveys online is a great side hustle which can earn you a surprising amount of money if you are willing to put the time in.
We are starting with the Attapoll app as in my opinion it is the simplest of all the survey apps available, so is perfect for beginners.
As you can see from the image, once you have signed up you will see all the surveys available to you at that time, approximately how long they will take to complete and how much you will earn from them. Simply click on one and get started!
You will get screened out or disqualified from surveys from time to time which can get frustrating, but be sure to keep trying and you will soon start earning!
TIP: Always tell the truth in surveys as you may get caught out and disqualified, and you will not be helping the people conducting the research if you lie.
Attapoll allows you to redeem your earning through Paypal, Revolut, Charity donations or Gift cards such as Amazon, John Lewis, Argos and ASOS.
Check the app often as they are constantly adding more surveys for you to try.
Sign Up to Attapoll here to get a starting Bonus of £0.40! Or enter my referral code amhta to redeem the Bonus.
Qmee
Qmee is a very similar app to Attapoll and is actually the first survey app I tried. It is also my favourite! This is because if you get screened out of a survey after a lot of work, they will sometimes pay you a small amount anyway to make up for the time you spent!
They also reward you by increasing the amount each survey is worth if you log into the app everyday and get to a certain length of “streak”.
As well as surveys, you can also earn cashback from playing games and even find some great deals for popular shops!
In my first month of using Qmee I earned over £50!
I did multiple surveys per day and although it took up some time, I found that it really paid off!
You can also do a daily quiz question to win 3p for every correct answer. I know 3p per day is not ground-breaking, but I have actually made just under £5 now just from the daily quiz question!
You can cash out your earnings through Paypal, Charity donations or gift cards such as Asda, Costa, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Just Eat and of course Amazon.
If you sign up through my referral link you can get a bonus 50p when you cash out for the first time through Paypal or Gift card!
What are you waiting for? They have paid out over £45,000,000 to their users!
MSR
MSR or “Measure” is my latest discovery and is quickly becoming a favourite of mine.
They have quick daily surveys and interesting data tasks that they reward you for completing. These can include screen recording your phone data or “retro” tasks like sharing your app usage data. These are all well paid and very quick to complete.
You can quickly accumulate MSR points which you can then convert into cash via Paypal or an impressive range of Gift cards including Amazon. You do need to reach £10 worth of points to cash out vouchers, but in my experience it won’t take long to reach that target.

Cashback
TopCashBack
TopCashback is a website that offers cashback and coupons to their users for free. It is one of the oldest sites, launching here in the UK in 2005 and in the US in 2011.
It is free to use and will give you cashback when you shop at thousands of big online stores.
The average user earns £345 (over $400) per year!
When you buy through a retailer link on Topcashback, it will track your purchase, earn a commission from it and then share a portion of that with you. It will not cost you anything extra.
On top of that they also have coupons that you can often “stack” with cashback so you save on your initial purchase, and earn cashback afterwards.
Though it can take a while for the cashback to be made payable in your account, it is truly unique as you can then withdraw any cashback earned with no minimum! Meaning you could withdraw £0.01 if you wanted to.
You can also withdraw your cashback as gift cards where they often give you a payout bonus, giving you even more to spend! Currently they will give you a 2% Bonus when you redeem an Amazon Gift card.
TIP: If you are making a big purchase such as a phone, laptop or washing machine ALWAYS check Topcashback before you choose which store to purchase from. It is the big purchases where you can really save money.
PLUS if you sign up with my referral link you will get a £10 bonus (once you earn your first £10). I will also get a little bonus so if you use my link, thank you!
Quidco
Quidco is a simple cashback app that works in the exact same way as TopCashback.
By shopping through Quidco you can earn money back on all of your purchases. It is simple to use and could save you hundreds of pounds over time.
They offer a wide range of everyday retailers and you can even get cashback on new service providers such as Broadband, Insurance or TV.
I have only recently discovered Quidco but I am very happy with it. A solid, reliable cashback app with good rates and a great range of retailers.
You can withdraw your earnings straight to your bank account, via Paypal or through gift cards where you can also get a bonus.
They currently offer a 1% Top-up when you cash out via Amazon Gift card.
Sign up Today through this referral link and you can get a Bonus £1 once you have earned £5.
Miscellaneous
We will finish with a few unusual apps and avenues where you can earn amazon gift cards. These may sound strange at first, but you would be surprised how effective they can be for earning free amazon gift cards quickly and with little to no extra effort.
Biscuit
This app is specifically for any fellow dog owners. So unfortunately if you don’t have a dog you are going to have to skip this one.
Biscuit is an app where you can get rewarded for taking care of your dog!
Simply sign up yourself and your dog and it will calculate the length of walk you should take every day and many other things. Activate the app at the start of your walk and you can earn 25 “biscuits” if you reach your daily target.
If you reach your weekly goal you will also earn a bonus 100 biscuits!
You can also earn biscuits by completing wellbeing badges for registering your dog’s flea and worm treatments.
With your biscuits, you can then earn many different gift cards such as Odeon, John Lewis and Zizzi.
You can cash out 2000 biscuits to get a £20 Amazon gift card! That means if you reach your targets every day and week, you could earn an amazon gift card in just over 7 weeks! Not bad for doing what you would be doing daily anyway!
I absolutely LOVE this app and I feel like it has really motivated me to walk further even when the British weather was horrible over the winter! It has also been one of the most lucrative and is definitely the best passive app for earning free Amazon gift cards.

Power Rewards
Power Rewards is an ingenious way of earning money with your Smart meter.
The app will use your smart meter to monitor your energy usage and then notify you about “grid events”.
All you have to do is reduce your usual energy usage during the grid event, and you will be rewarded based on how much energy you save.
This is a great app as not only can you earn rewards to withdraw through Paypal or Amazon vouchers, but it encourages you to save energy, therefore reducing your energy bill. And we all know how expensive that can get at the moment!
Be sure to use my code SUE305203 when you sign up to get £1 credit!
Competitions
Finally, why not try to Win some Free Amazon Gift Cards?
It is so easy now to find free competitions on instagram, and in my experience, Amazon gift cards are one of the most popular prizes! Simply enter as many competitions as you can find and you could find yourself with a great reward for no work!
I know it is the most risky of all of the methods, and prizes are certainly not guaranteed, but what have you got to lose?
Some businesses even give away hundreds of pounds worth of Amazon vouchers per competition! That would certainly perk up your Amazon balance and save you a lot of money on your next purchase!
There you have it!
I hope you have enjoyed learning about How to Earn Free Amazon Gift Cards. And I hope you will be soon on your way to your next Free Amazon purchase!
With all of these methods I have accumulated nearly £300 of Amazon Gift Cards in under a year! Think of what that could do for you!
