How to Find Amazon Discount Codes and Hidden Savings
Amazon does offer discount codes, but they aren’t always easy to spot. Over the years, we’ve gathered tips and tricks to help you find hidden promo codes and other ways to save on Amazon, from credits you can earn by spending certain amounts to third-party seller discounts.
Here’s a guide to finding Amazon discount codes and other ways to save money—no promo codes required.
How to Find Discount Codes on Amazon
- Look for Promo Codes During Big Sales
Amazon has three major sales annually: Prime Day (July), Prime Big Deal Days (October), and Black Friday (November). During these events, Amazon often offers special promo codes for Prime members or on select products. For instance, ahead of Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon offered $10 off Grubhub orders of $15+ with promo code PRIME10 for first-time users.
Amazon has offered promo codes for gift cards, grocery orders, and other perks during past sales. While Prime-only events are exclusive to members, Black Friday promo codes are generally available to everyone.
- Check for Amazon Promo Codes at KCL
At KCL (Krazy Coupon Lady), we round up our favorite Amazon promo codes weekly. These codes often offer up to 50% off select items. You can redeem these codes by adding the item to your cart and entering the code, or hitting the “redeem” button on the product page.
- Watch for Stock-Up Promo Codes Like $15 Off $50
Amazon frequently offers a promo code for $15 off when you spend $50 on household items (or back-to-school supplies). Keep an eye out for these deals on the Today’s Deals page or directly on product pages. After your purchase, the promo code credit will appear in your Amazon account within 30 days.
- Compare Target Deals for Similar Amazon Discounts
Amazon often mirrors Target’s Sunday gift card promotions with comparable offers. For instance, you might find promotions like Buy 3, Save $5 or Buy 1 Get 1 50% Off on similar items across both retailers. These deals are a great way to save on everyday products.
Other Less-Obvious Ways to Find Amazon Discounts
- Use Amazon Coupons
Amazon offers a variety of digital coupons, no promo codes required. You can browse Amazon’s coupons page or look for coupon options on product pages. Simply “clip” the coupon, and it will be applied to your order when you check out.
- Explore Amazon Open Box Deals
Amazon Warehouse offers discounts on open-box or pre-owned items, often up to 25% off. For example, you might find a slow cooker that normally sells for $31.49 marked down to $24.33. During major sales like Prime Day, you can find an extra 20% discount on Warehouse items.
- Sort by “Discount — High to Low” on Today’s Deals
When browsing Amazon’s Today’s Deals, you can sort items by “Discount — High to Low.” This reveals the biggest percentage discounts available, with items sometimes up to 97% off.
- Check Subscribe & Save for Stacked Savings
Amazon’s Subscribe & Save program offers 5% to 15% off repeat orders, but you can maximize savings by finding items that include both a subscription discount and an additional coupon.
- Look for Amazon Glitch Deals
Amazon glitch deals, often caused by technical errors, can offer massive discounts or even free items. Search for glitch groups on social media or follow hashtags like #glitchdeals to uncover these opportunities. However, be cautious—glitch deals can sometimes result in canceled orders or incorrect charges.
- Track Price Drops with CamelCamelCamel

- Sort by “Best Sellers” or “Movers and Shakers”
Amazon’s “Best Sellers” and “Movers and Shakers” lists provide insight into popular deals. Items in these categories often feature competitive pricing, and by browsing these lists, you can find discounts on fast-selling or trending products.
