Yes, you can get free stuff and samples on Amazon — even without a Prime membership. Our most recent Amazon freebie hunt turned up a lot of new freebies, thanks to Prime Day being right around the corner. We found free trials for Audible Premium Plus, Kindle Unlimited, and Amazon Music Unlimited, plus $10 off Grubhub orders.
Before you start, we should say that we think a Prime membership is worth it (Prime has a ton of benefits, including gas discounts, free shipping, and, of course, access to Amazon Prime Day). But if you’re on the fence, we’ve included a few freebies you can get without Amazon Prime too.

Amazon Freebies We Love for Prime Members
It's a good time for Prime members to get freebies right now because Amazon is offering a bunch of them in the lead-up to Prime Day.
Free 3-Month Trial of Amazon Music Unlimited
Three months of Amazon Music Unlimited (Amazon's paid ad-free music streaming service) normally costs $35.97, but you can get it for free right now for a limited time. And you can cancel it with no penalty before you start getting billed. Learn more about this deal.
Amazon Music Unlimited gives you access to hundreds of podcasts and millions of songs ad-free. You also get a free audiobook every month.
KCL TIP: Wait for Prime Day to sign up for a free trial. We've seen Amazon offer free trials of Amazon Music Unlimited for up to five months during Prime Day in July and Prime Big Deal Days in October.
Free 3-Month Trial of Kindle Unlimited
Kindle Unlimited (which gets you access to thousands of e-books and audiobooks) normally costs $11.99 per month. But you can get three months free for a limited time.
Free 3-Month Trial of Audible Premium Plus
First-time Audible members can get a 3-month free trial of Audible Premium Plus membership, which normally costs $14.95 per month, for a limited time. Audible Premium Plus membership gets you access to thousands of audiobooks, meditation programs, sleep tracks, and podcasts, plus you get one free title per month.
$200 Amazon Gift Card With Prime Visa Approval
Until July 11, you can get a $200 Amazon gift card if you're approved for a Prime Visa. Because this is a credit card, your approval will be subject to a credit check. Once you get the gift card, you can use it to buy anything you want on Amazon.
$10 Off Grubhub Orders and Free Grubhub delivery
One of the perks of being an Amazon Prime member is free Grubhub+. Grubhub+ normally costs $9.99 per month, so this is almost a $120 in savings per year.
Plus, through July 7, Prime members can also get $10 off a Grubhub order of $20 or more with code PRIME10.
Access free PC games when you have Prime.
You can get a new PC game every week that you can download, keep, and play forever with Prime. See Prime gaming details here.
Watch thousands of Prime Video titles for free.
Right up there with free shipping, is the free Prime Video perk. Prime members can watch thousands of shows and movies with Prime Video for free as part of their membership (it costs $8.99 per month without Prime).
Read free Kindle books through Prime Reading.
Prime members get free, instant access to loads of Kindle e-books and audiobooks through a program called Prime Reading (free with Prime membership). The best part? You don’t need a Kindle device to read. Even non-Prime members can read select titles for free, but only on a Kindle device.
If you’re a frequent reader, take advantage of Amazon First Reads, which offers once-a-month (free!) early access to select new titles.
Get a free baby box of samples with an Amazon Baby Registry.
When you create your Amazon Registry, expect to get all kinds of coupons and offers for baby-related items, including a free baby box as a welcome. The box will have trial and full-size samples of baby products.
You will need to add 10 products to your registry and make a $10 purchase from your registry to get access to the free Welcome Box. But you can add anything (like dog food, or paper towels) to your registry and buy it.
Also, you’ll get a 15% baby registration completion discount.

Amazon Freebies You Can Get Without a Prime Membership
Here are a few Amazon freebies you can get that don't necessarily require a Prime membership. Some offers are timely, so you've got to act fast. But others, you can redeem year-round.
Get free credits galore — they translate into free money.
Amazon offers so many ways to get free credits that we had to write a separate article about it! Make sure to check that out. Free credits mean that Amazon will deposit a certain dollar amount in your Amazon account, so you can use it toward a future purchase.
KCL TIP: You can get free stuff for writing Amazon reviews through the Amazon Vine program, but it's hard to get invited. Here's what to know about Amazon Vine.
Ask Alexa to send you a free sample.
When you ask Alexa to send you a free sample for the first time, she’ll tell you that you’ll need to go into your Alexa app to create and link your Send Me a Sample account. You’ll only have to do this once.
Once you’re all set up, you can ask Alexa to send you a sample again, and she’ll provide you with a list of available samples at the moment.
Keep in mind, Send Me a Sample freebies through Alexa are irregular. It's also common to have Alexa tell you no freebies are currently available. In the past, we've received freebies from Drunk Elephant, DripDrop, and Aestura.
Get a free month of Prime.
Anyone can try Prime for free for 30 days. Amazon Prime opens up a whole new world for freebies including Amazon Prime Video, free Amazon One-Day or Two-Day shipping, unlimited photo storage, early access to lightning deals, free returns, and more.
Enjoy free Amazon Music Unlimited trial.
Non-members can enjoy a 30-day free trial of Amazon Music Unlimited. To get this Amazon freebie as a non-Prime member you will need to purchase an eligible item like an echo device (sold and shipped by Amazon). If you already have a device you can register it in the Alexa app. After your purchase or registration the free trial will automatically apply to your account.
Get 5GB of free cloud storage through Amazon Photos.
In Amazon Photos, you can store photos, videos. Even non-Prime customers get 5GB of complimentary free cloud photo storage. With that much space, you can store about 1,500 photos. For free.
Drop off your Amazon returns at Kohl’s for free — you don’t even need a box.
Sure you can still drop your Amazon return off at UPS or Whole Foods for free, too, but you know what’s even easier? Take it into a Kohl’s store and don’t bother with boxing it up at all.
To make an Amazon return at Kohl’s, open the Amazon app and follow this process: My Orders → Return or Replace Items → Reason for Return → Select Kohl’s Dropoff.
Amazon will send a QR code to your email. The QR code is essential for processing your Kohl’s Amazon return — you’ll show it to the Kohl’s associate when you hand over your items.
When you make your return you'll receive a percent-off coupon or $5 Kohl's Cash (must use within seven days).
