Amazon will literally pay you to shop this Prime Day. No, really.
For the second year in a row, the retail giant is giving customers a couple of ways to earn free credits they can redeem during its annual sitewide sale (which is happening on July 11 and 12). Only Prime members are eligible, unsurprisingly, though one upcoming offer is open to trial users who don't want to commit to a paid plan just yet:
1. Try Amazon Photos before July 8 for $15
After downloading the free Amazon Photos app and signing into your Amazon account, simply upload at least one picture and turn on the Auto-Save feature to automatically back it up. Amazon promises to email you within four days to confirm that a free $15 credit has been applied to your account, and you'll be able to put it toward any Prime Day order over $30 of products sold by Amazon.com or Amazon Digital Services LLC. (Look for "sold by Amazon.com" or "sold by Amazon Digital Services LLC" under the "Add to Cart" button in the right-hand column of product pages. Anything that isn't listed by a third-party seller should work, besides gift cards.)

Prime members (paid or trial) who purchase at least $50 worth of Amazon gift cards between July 3 and July 10 will receive a $5 credit in their Amazon account right after they complete their order. The credit can be redeemed anytime through Friday, August 25, in case nothing catches your eye on Prime Day.
