Shoppers are only just realising easy way to get free cash from Amazon – and you can do it too
SHOPPERS are only just realising there’s an easy way to get free cash from Amazon.
The online retail giant runs a shopper panel that rewards people with money off in exchange for details about their purchases.
Shoppers can submit pictures of their receipts from rival shops via an app and earn £5 each month to spend on Amazon if they upload a total of ten.
There’s also a chance to earn additional rewards each month for completing surveys and for enabling ad verification.
The panel is only open to a limited number of Amazon customers, who have to register their interest and join an waiting list.
But not everyone is aware of the handy programme or how to use it.
Savvy shoppers taken to Facebook tell others about the “easy to use” app.
Writing in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook page, one person said: “After being on the waiting list for what seems life a lifetime, I’ve finally been accepted to the Amazon shopper panel.”
The post quickly received more than 1,000 likes and over 700 comments.
Many fellows bargain hunters were quick to ask how they could join, while others shared their experiences using the app.
One person said: “I use this. It’s great and I save vouchers for Christmas.”
While another wrote: “I’ve just put myself on the waiting list – hoping it won’t be too long of a wait.”
And a third added: “Thank you for this post. Made me check and I’ve seen I’ve been accepted. Wahoo!!”
How does the Amazon shopper panel work?
The Amazon shopper panel is an opt-in and invitation.
One you receive a notification, customers can download the app from the app store or the Google play store.
To join the waiting list, you will also need to download the app and you will be sent an email when you can join.
As well as uploading receipts to earn cash, users can also take part in surveys and enable ad verification for extra rewards.
The amount you can earn per survey varies, but you will be able to see how much you can earn before you take part.
Enrolling in ad verification – allowing Amazon to see the ads that appear on your phone – can earn you £2 per month.
If you decide the app isn’t for you, you can stop using it anytime.
Meanwhile, Amazon has revealed it is to close a popular book retailer in weeks.
Plus, the retail giant has slashed an extra 20% off secret warehouse deals in spring sale.
