List of Free Amazon Products You Might Not Know About

If you’re not completely and utterly obsessed with Amazon, here’s another reason to take your obsession to the next level: You can get a lot of stuff for free on Amazon. And we’re not saying “meh” when it comes to free stuff. Prime members will get even more limited-time freebies for Prime Day (July 16 and 17), so get those deals while they last.

Freebies include digital music, podcasts, apps, books and movies, free samples and photo storage. Who could turn down a free Duran Duran album, a true crime novel or the latest horror movie? Not me! Here are some of the best ways to make the most of your Amazon Prime membership.

Shopping Tips to Get More Free Stuff on Amazon

Shop Amazon Prime Day

Amazon has a solid history of offering freebies during and before its famous Prime Day, and that trend continues in 2024 with a slew of limited-time freebies and discounts for Prime members. To get the best Prime Day deals, you can set up deal alerts on the Amazon Prime Day event page through July 17. You can even enroll Alexa to help you find deals. In fact, Alexa can notify you up to 24 hours before deals are available for items you’ve saved to your Wishlist, Cart, or Save for Later. You can also easily shop Prime Day deals with the Amazon app. With generous free trials extended this year, Prime Day is a great time to try out Audible, Amazon Music Unlimited, and Kindle Unlimited.

Become an Amazon Vine Voice

When you are invited to become a Vine Voice member, Amazon will consider you one of its most trusted reviewers because of your product reviews and the way they help other customers make informed purchasing decisions. As a member, Amazon will provide you with free products submitted to the program by participating selling partners. Products can be from publishers, labels, studios, manufacturers, or any selling partner who participates in the program.

Apply for free product offer

Amazon offers many seller promotions that offer free products with qualifying purchases. Make sure you check the box on the product page that has the offer or apply the code when you are ready to check out. Offers are available while stock lasts.

Join the Amazon Shopper Panel

The voluntary Amazon Shopper Panel is by invitation only, but you can also join the waitlist after downloading the app. It’s a chance to earn monthly rewards by sharing receipts from purchases made outside of Amazon and completing short surveys. Upload 10 eligible monthly receipts and you’ll receive $10 in Amazon Balance or a charitable donation. You’ll likely have to join the waitlist, but we’ll email you when a spot opens up.
