Amazon shoppers bagging ‘free money’ with gift cards ahead of Prime Day

Amazon Prime Day is set to take over the online retailer next week, but ahead of the event, shoppers are already snapping up bargains - including free Amazon Echo Dot and Amazon Echo Show devices.

But another offer - ideal for birthday presents or if you’re planning on spending anyway - essentially sees customers buy bonus cash when buying gift cards.

The deal, which sees a number of gift cards reduced as much as 25 per cent off , was pointed out on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook Group.

The money-savvy spotter said: “Free money in my eyes - New Look voucher!” Along with a photo of a £25 New Look gift card reduced to £20, meaning shoppers got an extra £5 credit on their purchase.

The card is a physical gift card delivered by post, rather than an online e-voucher, making it ideal if you want to give it to someone in a birthday card. Equally, it’s available on Prime with free one-day delivery, saving precious petrol as you won’t need to pop to the shops to collect it.

The New Look gift card can be used to purchase items from any New Look Store and online at newlook.com. But if you want to get your hands on the discounted gift card, you’ll have to be quick, as the offer ends in three days - just before Prime Day on July 12 and 13.

The gift cards expire after 24 months consecutive non-use, so will be valid for at least two years.

And it’s not the only gift card reduced on Amazon at the moment either. A £25 gift card from The Restaurant Choice is £21.25 down from £25, giving shoppers an extra £3.75 on their spends.

The Restaurant Choice gift cards can be used at a number of popular national restaurant chains including Nando’s, PizzaExpress, Zizzi, The Real Greek, Yo! Sushi, Ask Italian, Pizza Hut and Cafe Rouge. The card can be used at any time of day as part or full payment for food or drink in all participating restaurants.

The £50 voucher for the same card is also reduced, down to £42.50 , saving 15 per cent on the overall spend.

If you’re planning a trip to PizzaExpress, their £20 gift card is a slice of the price at £16 - but again, the deal ends in three days. The card will be delivered by post and can be used to make full or partial payment at any PizzaExpress restaurant in the UK.

The Bella Italia gift card is £17 for a £20 spend , and can be used as full or part payment at all Bella Italia restaurants in England, Scotland and Wales.

But if it’s experiences you’re after, there are some other great deals. Film fanatics can snap up an Odeon gift card for £20, worth £25 which can be used to purchase tickets, food and drink at the cinema.

Meanwhile the Buyagift £40 gift card is down to £30, which can be used on things like pamper and adventure days to afternoon tea experiences, saving 25 per cent on the overall price, and the Red Letter Days £50 experience gift card is priced at £37.50, also saving a quarter of the cost.
