It's actually pretty easy to get free stuff on Amazon, you just need to know where to look. You can get free products, gift cards, Amazon credits, music, movies, audiobooks, and much more.
If you take advantage of these Amazon freebies, you can save up to hundreds of dollars a year and have a lot of fun doing it. You'll get free entertainment, save money when shopping, and possibly get some free stuff you can keep for yourself.
To get some, but not all, of the free stuff on Amazon, you'll need to subscribe to Amazon Prime. It's $119 a year but you can try it out for 30 days with a free trial. You also can share Amazon Prime (with some restrictions) to save even more. If you're a student, you can get a free 6-month trial to Prime Student.
