It is also really easy to stop the membership where you only need to click End Membership if you do not want to continue. But, this only works if only you have used Prime services while if you still do not use the service, they will get your money back.
5. The Discover it Card
Another way to save money while shopping on Amazon is the Discover it Card that may double the cash back that you will get in the first year. You will have a chance to earn 1% on any purchases along with 5% category bonus which you will get each quarter.

7. Reload Your Amazon Credit
When you purchase an item on Amazon using a credit card, the provider or Amazon will pay the credit card several percents in fees. Therefore, you can get a chance to get 2% if you top your credit balance on Amazon by using a checking account.

When you use Prime on Amazon, you will have a chance to get free two-day shipping. But, you also still get another Amazon offer so you can get Free No-Rush Shipping but the delivery will take longer. However, you still get a fortune for this offer where you can get a $1 credit to purchase digital videos, ebooks, and much more.

10. Avoid Sales Tax
Amazon has just built a new warehouse in Maryland which is will be good for the delivery process in the area, but it is not so good for customers. This center will be considered as a nexus where all of the process purchases must sales tax that is about 6% of the purchase.
If you do not want to pay this sales tax, then you can just avoid it by buying items from other states third party suppliers who sell their products on Amazon. Besides, you will also get free two-day delivery using Prime but you do not need to pay sales tax because you buy it from a third party supplier from the other states.

This is really good for those who want to take benefit from their mistake but you need to complain first because delay may not be their mistakes. But, if you do not feel bothered by the delay, then it is no big deal if you do not complain.
13. Price Drop Policy
Suppose you purchase an official product on Amazon but the price drops in one week, then you will earn credit for the replacement. You can contact the Amazon customer care or just use the Live Chat System to complain and send your request.
The process is simple enough and you will obtain the credit as the replacement that you can use to purchase other items later. But, you need to keep in mind that it only works on official Amazon items, not other third party sellers.
