does anyone know of any ways to get a discount on Amazon.com? not inlcuding free shipping.

i thought about getting Amazon.com gift cards, hoping they are selling at a discount but a quick check on Ebay shows them actually going for more than the worth of the card... what's up with that?

Fatwallet and Ebates don't have kickbacks for Amazon... any ideas? thanks!

Amazon gift cards are almost as good as cash, good luck getting them at a discount, if you do reward points or something like that through your credit cards then maybe you can turn them in for some, that's what I do.

No cashback either, Amazon knows their prices are the lowest 99 times out of 100 so they don't need to offer any much more incentive to shop.

To explain why they go higher on eBay, you must understand the eBay is filled almost entirely by idiots and scammers.

And unless there is a specific coupon for the item you want, then there pretty much isn't any way to get a discount on Amazon. They sometimes do price matches, but nothing in their policy says that they will for sure.

you may have a chance here. they pay you in amazon gift cards for other merchant gift cards you trade in, at a higher rate than if you wanted cash from them. I suppose you may be able to find gift cards that you can make a profit on
