Amazon Prime Big Deal Days – when it starts, our predictions & tips

Plus more 'free' Amazon credits for some, including £3 off £10 and £5 off Prime Video movies

If you've an Amazon account, you may be eligible for a 'free' £3, £5 or £15 off. It often runs different promotions like these for selected customers – here are its current offers, and it's a one click check for each to see if you're eligible...

1. £15 off £30+ when signing into the Amazon app on an iPhone or Android phone for the first time

Amazon is offering 15,000 of its customers £15 off a £30+ spend via its app – but there's only a chance you'll be eligible if you've never signed into the Amazon app before – check this Amazon* link to see if you can get it. If eligible, you'll need to activate the offer by selecting the 'Apply promotion' button, and then make your purchase in the Amazon app on an Android phone or iPhone (excludes the app on tablets, Windows phones, or iPad) within 15 days.

The £15 credit can only be redeemed against items sold and dispatched by Amazon, excluding baby formula, alcoholic drinks, e-cigarettes and cartridges for e-cigarettes containing tobacco or nicotine, digital products, items sold on Amazon Luxury Stores, gift cards, Warehouse deals, or products sold by third-party sellers.

2. £5 free Prime Video credit with no minimum spend

Selected Amazon customers can grab a free fiver to spend on its Prime Video streaming service until 11.59pm on Sunday 30 June. The full eligibility criteria is unclear, but you can check this Amazon* link to see if you can get it – Amazon says you also should have received a push notification or email about the promotion.

If eligible, you'll need to activate the offer and then select the movie or TV show you want to buy or rent at Prime Video* within 30 days – the reduced price should show in the rent/buy button as your £5 credit is automatically applied. Amazon says the price might not change for iOS, Fire TV and Echo devices but it says the £5 credit will automatically be added and the discounted price will be shown in 'Your Order History'.

The £5 credit can be used to rent or buy a movie or TV show, but can't be used against any channel subscriptions. You can purchase or rent content costing more than £5, but you'll need to pay the difference. When we checked a few recent movies, prices ranged from £1.99 to £13.99, depending on the movie and whether you want to rent or buy.

3. £3 off £10+, but you'll need to live near an Amazon pickup location and not have used one before

If that's you, visit this Amazon* link to check if you're eligible (and also check you live near a pickup location). It's best to go ASAP as it's only available until 20,000 have been claimed (or 31 December 2024 if that's later).

If you're eligible, select 'Apply promotion' and the £3 will automatically be added to your Amazon account. Add a minimum of £10 of qualifying products to your basket, choose your pickup location, and you'll be able to use your £3 off to reduce what you pay. You'll need to do this by 11.59pm on 31 December 2024.

There's no minimum spend to use the credit but it can only be used on items sold and dispatched by Amazon, and it won't work on gift cards, Warehouse deals, digital products, Amazon devices and accessories, e-books, alcohol, baby and infant formula, e-cigarettes (including e-liquids, refills and accessories), delivery costs, and gift wrapping costs.
