How to Never Spend Money on Diapers Again with Amazon gift cards

I have three kids in diapers — yes, three! I wasn’t ever planning on being in this situation (I didn’t even think I would have two kids in diapers at the same time), but I spent nearly three months on bed rest during my twin pregnancy, so my toddler has not yet been potty trained. I wasn’t planning on having twins either, but now we have these three wonderful boys, and they are all still in diapers. I have never tried to count how many, but I know that we go through A LOT of diapers. I never felt like diapers were a huge expense with only one child because I found creative ways to save money online, but now that we have three kids, the cost of diapers can add up quickly. I love shopping on Amazon, so I discovered several ways to earn free Amazon gift cards, and now I earn enough to cover the cost of diapers and wipes every month with the help of Amazon’s Subscribe & Save program. Here are the websites I use to earn my gift cards:

1. Swagbucks

I know, I know, everyone talks about Swagbucks; there are entire blogs dedicated to how to earn more Swagbucks, but I can’t just skip writing about them. The majority of my gift cards have come from Swagbucks. I actually have fun using this site! There are several ways that you can earn points, called Swagbucks (SB), including taking surveys, watching videos, and shopping online, among many other ways. Because there are easy ways to get bonus points, I honestly don’t dedicate very much time to earning more: I have earned most of my gift cards while nursing my babies. If you’re not already taking advantage of easy Swagbucks gift cards, it’s time to hop on the bandwagon and join here to claim a $5 sign-up bonus. You won’t regret it.

2. TopCashback

This site is very similar to Ebates. When you link to a store through their site and make a purchase, you then get a certain percentage back in cash. I love shopping through TopCashback because they almost always offer more cash back than any other site. There is no minimum requirement to withdraw your balance, and you get an extra 3% cash back if you take it in the form of an Amazon gift card instead of direct deposit or PayPal.

3. Honey

Honey is a free extension for the Google Chrome browser that does two great things.  First, it finds different coupon codes for you and automatically applies the best one at checkout. Honey’s other feature is called HoneyGold. When you activate Honey through your extension, you can earn Gold Points when you make purchases.  Every 1000 points get you a $10 gift card to Amazon.com.

4. Survey and Rewards Sites

Although Swagbucks is, in my opinion, the most rewarding and reliable site, there are many other survey and rewards site similar to it. Other sites and apps worth using are MyPoints, instaGC, and Harris Poll Online. My favorite sites for surveys are Survey Savvy and PaidViewpoint. Survey Savvy often offers higher paying surveys, while PaidViewpoint guarantees short surveys that take less than a minute a day to complete.

5 for. Ibotta

Ibotta is an app that offers cash back on your everyday purchases such as groceries, household products, clothing, restaurants, home improvement, gas stations, and more! I once got over $20 back on a routine trip for groceries and household supplies. Getting a rebate is as simple as snapping a picture of your receipt and claiming the offers Ibotta has available. Your cash is available within 24 hours and can be redeemed through PayPal, Venmo, or – you guessed it – Amazon gift cards! You can get a $10 bonus for signing up here and using Ibotta.

5. Your local credit union or bank

Search for a checking account or credit card with great rewards. If you live in Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Nevada, or New Mexico, Mountain America Credit Union is the best! Yes, I am biased because I have worked for them since I was in college, but I know firsthand that they make every effort to give the best to their members and their employees. Every month, I get $3 to Amazon just for using my MyStyle Checking account, and I have redeemed several gift cards with my Rewards Credit Card.

6. Upstart

If you have ever thought about getting a personal loan, I recommend getting one with Upstart. Most lenders only consider your income and credit score to determine creditworthiness, but Upstart also takes into account your level of education and GPA. If you’re in school or fresh out of school, getting a personal loan could be a great option. I had to leverage some credit during my senior year of undergrad, so I got a personal loan to consolidate debt, and it saved me a lot of money in interest. As an added bonus, Upstart will give you a $200 Amazon gift card if you apply through this link and are approved.

 

I love getting free gift cards to Amazon! When you have two babies, you spend a lot of time nursing, and you change a lot of diapers. I decided that I would dedicate my time nursing to earning gift cards and extra cash to pay for diapers every month (and to save up for this fancy stroller on my wish list). I hope you enjoy these gift cards as much as I do!
