Prime Day Gift Card Deals: How to Get 20% Off Next Prime Day

Gift card discounts are one of the best Prime Day deals you can get because Prime Day is one of the rare times you’ll find discounted gift cards for your favorite stores and restaurants. In fact, Amazon's Prime Day gift card deals rival those of some of the biggest savings events of the year like Amazon Cyber Monday and Amazon Black Friday.

During the most recent Prime Day sale (July 16 - 17), we saw up to 20% off gift cards from stores and restaurants. Missed out? We predict Amazon's October Prime Day event will kick off Oct. 15, so be ready.

The Best Prime Day Gift Card Deals From 2024

These were just some of the gift card deals we saw during Prime Day 2024 in July. As you prepare for the next Prime Day sale, remember this: Prime Day gift card deals sell out quickly.

• Regal Entertainment: $50 gift card for $40

• H&M: $50 gift card for $40

• Krispy Kreme: $25 gift card for $20

• Build-A-Bear Workshop: $50 gift card for $40

• Under Armour: $50 gift card for $40

Prime Day is one of the best times to grab savings on gift cards for brands like DoorDash, H&M, and so many more. You can even earn Amazon promo credits with some purchases.

Some offerings, like 20% off a Panera or IHOP gift card, may expire at the end of the first day of the sale, so keep that in mind when shopping gift cards during Prime Day. And many of these discounts are often Amazon Lightning Deals, so they sell out fast.

Here are some highlights from previous Prime Day events. You can expect savings of 20% for most retailers and restaurants this year.

• Panda Express Gift Card, $20 (reg. $25)

• Red Robin Gift Card, $40 (reg. $50)

How do Amazon gift card deals work?

You’ll find a promo code on the Amazon product listing under the price, which you'll enter at checkout. Amazon will ask you for an email address to send the gift card to, where the gift card will be sent instantly after purchase. Note that there’s a limit to how many you can buy on a discount; the promo codes are only valid for one use. And some gift card deals will even earn you Amazon credits, good towards your next Amazon purchase.

Here’s what you’ll do to claim these gift cards:

1. Go to the Gift Card Deals homepage.

2. Add one or more gift cards of the same brand totaling the qualifying purchase amount to your cart in one order.

3. Enter the promo code listed on the product page at checkout. Promotional codes are found in the “Special offers and product promotions” section of the product page.

4. There's a limit of one deal per brand.

5. If the deal includes earned Amazon credit, you’ll receive a confirmation email within 24 hours of your order when your credit is ready.

6. The earned credit will automatically apply to your next eligible purchase during checkout. It isn't part of your gift card balance.

Amazon rarely offers discounts on gift cards. And some of the biggest gift card discounts are available on Prime Day and Black Friday. From what we’ve seen, the deals are pretty much the same during both events.

Note that some gift card sales stick around for the duration of the sale, while many come in the form of Lightning Deals.
