How to Take Surveys for Amazon Gift Cards (Plus 9 Sites That Give Them!)

Amazon is one of the best online places to shop.

You can find just about everything here, from clothing and grocery items to pools and lawn mowers!

It’s no wonder that people want Amazon gift cards more than almost any other kind of gift card.

In fact, Amazon gift cards are becoming one of the most requested prizes from people who take online surveys.

Most survey sites are now awarding them as one of several rewards to choose from.

I’ve requested several myself because not only are they convenient to have, but survey sites can also pay them out relatively quickly compared to sending a physical gift card in the mail.

If you’re like me and love the thought of having Amazon gift codes sent straight to your inbox for your online survey rewards, then this post is for you!

Can I Take Amazon Surveys for Money?

A lot of people ask us how they can take Amazon surveys for cash, so I wanted to clear something up before I get to the rest of this article.

Amazon, as far as I know, does not offer surveys for money.

If you happen to come across a website claiming to be affiliated with Amazon that says you can take an Amazon survey for cash or a reward, it’s likely a scam.

In fact, I’ve heard of a few people who have gotten emails like this claiming to be from Amazon.

They’re scams that try to get you to sign up for things or even pay money to get an Amazon gift code emailed to you.

Amazon doesn’t send things like this and doesn’t tend to just hand over gift cards to people unless they participate in programs like the trade-in program.

Instead, what I’ll be talking about is how to get Amazon gift codes from other online survey sites that aren’t affiliated with Amazon.

How Can I Get Amazon Gift Codes?

If you’re a member of online survey websites, then you have a good idea of how they work.

If not, let me get into that a little more.

You take surveys that answer a bunch of questions market research companies need answers to.

Surveys will have different themes and therefore will look for certain people to fit those themes. Your demographic is what the survey site will look for when it sends out invitations.

When you sign up for a survey site, you’ll have to fill out a profile and profile screeners so the site can learn more about you.

If you seem like you’ll be a match for the survey, you’ll get invited to take it.

Once you’re all finished answering the questions, you’ll get rewarded.

Some survey sites pay you in cash to your account while others will give you points.

I personally like getting paid cash only because it’s a lot easier to see exactly what you’ve racked up from surveys.

However, getting points isn’t always bad, especially with sites that make converting points to dollar amounts easily.

For example, you might have something like 1 point equals $1 in rewards, or 100 points equals $1, making each point worth $0.01.

Every survey site will have some sort of rewards that it offers for redeeming your cash or prizes.

Some sites offer PayPal cash or check, while others have a variety of gift cards to choose from (and some have a combination of these choices).

Before you sign up for a survey panel, check to make sure that Amazon gift cards are one of the redemption options.

In most cases, sites that offer gift cards as rewards do have Amazon gift cards, but it’s a good idea to check first just to make sure you can get the prize you want.

Redeeming Cash or Points for an Amazon Gift Card

The way redemption works will be a little different for each survey site.

Most require you to have a minimum balance before you can cash out your money or points.

In most cases, the minimum will be $5 to $10, but some sites have it set as high as $20 (or its equivalent in points) or more.

This is another thing you should double check before you sign up for a panel.

You can usually find this information in the Frequently Asked Questions section of the website.

Once you reach the amount needed to cash out for a prize, you can choose the Amazon gift card from the list of prizes.

Just make sure that the amount you need for that particular prize is what you have in your account.

Sometimes, your balance may surpass the minimum needed to cash out, but the lowest gift card amount may still require more points.

Sites will vary, too, on how long it’ll take to send you your reward.

Some are as quick as a few hours, while others may take days or weeks. This is all information you can find out through the FAQ or Terms of Service sections.

Physical vs. Electronic

Most of today’s survey sites offer electronic gift codes instead of physical gift cards as prizes because they’re quicker and easier to send.

There are no stamps or envelopes needed, so it’s just a more convenient and cheaper process.

If you have a preference of receiving electronic Amazon gift codes to your email inbox over receiving a physical card in the mail, you’ll need to make sure the panels you sign up for offer electronic codes.

I prefer electronic gift codes because they beat waiting weeks for a physical one to arrive in the mail and if anything is wrong with the code you received, you can typically get it all straightened out with the survey panel faster.

How to Add Amazon Gift Codes to Your Amazon Account

Adding Amazon gift codes to your Amazon account is so easy, but it can be a little confusing if you’ve never done it before.

Amazon gift codes add money instantly to your account. You basically exchange gift card codes for money that you can use to purchase items on Amazon.

To add your reward to your account, follow these steps:

1. Go to Amazon.com and sign into your account.
2. Hover over “Accounts & Lists” and click “Your Account.”
3. Click “Gift Cards.”
4. Click “Redeem a Gift Card.”
5. Add the code you received in your email and click “Apply to your balance.”

The balance should then reflect how much the gift card was plus any other gift cards you had in your account, if any.

You can now use that money to purchase Amazon products. Just make sure you check the box asking if you want to use your gift card balance at checkout!

Remember to add your gift codes as soon as you receive them.

I’ve gotten into this habit just to be sure I don’t forget to add any!

What Survey Sites Offer Amazon Gift Cards as a Reward?

As I mentioned, there are a lot of survey sites that offer Amazon gift cards, either physical or electronic, as rewards.

However, they’re not all high-quality survey sites that I’d recommend.

If you’re looking for some of the best panels to join to get Amazon gift codes, then try a few from this list:

Swagbucks (USA, UK, Canada, Germany, France, India, Australia, and Ireland, 13+)

Swagbucks is a Get Paid To site that provides a lot of ways for people to earn points, or SBs, as the site calls them.

You can take surveys, of course, but you can also play games, watch videos, shop online and earn cash back, complete offers, refer your friends, read emails, and do other tasks on the site to earn SBs.

Amazon gift cards are sent electronically, and you can redeem them for as little as $3 in points. I’ve made that much in just a couple of days on Swagbucks!

Toluna (Worldwide, 13+)

Toluna is a popular survey panel that partners with some big-time brands like Disney and Expedia for its surveys.

You get paid in points here and can get 500 just for signing up.

You’ll need 30,000 points minimum to cash out for a gift card.

Toluna also gives you more chances to earn points with its Android and iOS app that sends you mobile surveys to take on the go.

Take surveys and earn points with Global Test Market, one of the most popular panels around.

Pinecone Research (US, UK, Canada, 18+)

Pinecone Research is one of the few survey panels that pay you in actual cash to your account for every survey you complete.

As even more of an incentive, most of the panel’s surveys are worth at least $3!

There’s no minimum balance here, so you can cash out when you choose.

Your first 300 points will go toward a check mailed to your address on file, but after that, you’re free to choose an Amazon gift card or one of several other prizes in the rewards catalog.

Points are easy here. Every 100 points equals $1.

Now you know how to get Amazon gift cards from online surveys, what to do with them once you receive yours in your email, and what sites are the best for getting them!

Amazon is an awesome place to shop online, featuring some of the most unique products out there with some of the best prices.

Take advantage of Amazon gift codes as prizes for your online surveys.

In some cases, they may arrive faster than other gift cards, and you can apply them to your balance right away to start shopping.

One of the things I love most about gift cards for Amazon is that you can keep piling them up in your Amazon account to save up for something you really want, unlike other gift cards where you have to pay for the overage out of your own pocket.

Just keep them stacked in your account until you’re ready to buy and you won’t have to pay a dime – your time taking online surveys will pay your way!
