Amazon's October sales event, known as Prime Big Deal Days, is here and it's the perfect time to stock up on essentials, holiday gifts, and more. Better yet, any shopper can pick up $200 in Amazon gift card credit to use during the event, so long as they qualify for a Prime Visa.
While we usually see Amazon offering shopping credits for buying Amazon gift cards before Prime Day sales, there are no specific promotions for Prime Day gift cards right now. However, Prime members only need to qualify for a Prime Visa to snag an extra $200 to use for the sale.
You can also pick up gift cards in limited-edition packaging for the upcoming sale, but these products aren't discounted. We'll keep this page updated as new discounts go live, so be sure to check back often to see if new gift card deals are available.
How to get a $200 Amazon gift card
Prime members who sign up for a Prime Visa can receive a $100 Amazon Gift Card instantly upon approval exclusively for Prime members. Only new card members are eligible for the gift card. If you're approved, the gift card credit will be loaded right into your Amazon account.
An Amazon Prime Visa credit card also offers other bonuses, including 5% back on Amazon purchases with an eligible Prime membership. Check out our Amazon Prime Visa card review for more details.
The best Amazon gift card deals you can buy today
This limited-edition Amazon gift card comes in a sweet little Prime van-themed case, complete with wheels that even roll. The product itself isn’t discounted, but it is only available for a short time in celebration of the retailer’s Prime Big Deal Days event.
Prime Day gift card deals buying advice
Is Prime Day good for gift card deals?
Prime Day is a great time to find gift card deals from a variety of retailers and restaurants, including Amazon itself. In the past, we've seen price drops from companies like Applebees, Gap, Panera, and more.
When it comes to gift card deals, any discount is a worthwhile discount so long as you are planning on shopping at the intended retailer anyway. Getting $50 to spend at your favorite store while only paying $40 is a steal.
Do I need to be a Prime member?
In order to shop the deals during Amazon's October Prime Day sale you'll need to be a Prime member. The event is another one of the exclusive benefits that come with a membership.
