Easy Ways to Earn Amazon Gift Codes and Credit

Have you noticed it's nearly impossible anymore to locate Amazon.com promo codes and discount coupons? Here's how you can always be sure to have Amazon.com codes or credit at your fingertips!

Register with Amazon Mechanical Turk (www.mturk.com) as a Worker and Earn Your Amazon.com Credit. Amazon Mechanical Turk is a site where you can perform little Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs) for money. You can nickel and dime your way to Amazon.com credit. Don't laugh. Between April 1^st and October 31^st, 2009, I managed to sock away over $1,400 in Amazon credit. Work is always available, any time of the day or night, and fairly easy to do. Earn as much or as little as you want. It's all up to you.

Nice bonus: If you don't want to use your earnings for Amazon credit, you can always link your checking account to your Amazon Payments account and transfer your balance once you reach $10. It's an excellent work-at-home option to earn extra income.

Sustainability: Amazon Mechanical Turk has been around since November 2005. Since it is affiliated with Amazon.com, it's unlikely to go anywhere any time soon.

Register with ClicksVista.com (www.clicksvista.com), QuidsCorner.com (www.quidscorner.com), and/or Dollars4Clix (www.dollars4clix.com) and click on their Paid-to-Click ads to earn Amazon.com gift codes. The minimum payout for all three sites is $5; I reached minimum payout in around a week to 10 days. The cash-out deadline for all three sites is the 20^th of the month for payment on the first of the following month.

Nice bonus: You have the option of taking your earnings in cash via Paypal instead of Amazon.com gift codes.

Tip: If you choose to utilize more than one of these sites, be sure to clear your computer's cookies before going from one site to another and clicking the ads.

Sustainability: These three sites are by far the easiest way to earn Amazon.com gift codes. They are all three fairly new sites and hopefully sustainable. As of this writing, both ClicksVista and QuidsCorner are paying sites. Dollars4Clix is brand new and has yet to process its first payout. These sites, in other words, could be, "here today and gone tomorrow." However, because they are so easy and take such little time, it would be well worth the few minutes a day it takes to "work" these sites to see if it actually proves worthwhile.

Register with Gongos Research's Consumer Village (http://survey1.gongos.com/G1023/default.aspx?namesource=GW ). Consumer Village is an online community which also emails you when they have surveys for you to complete and questions in the forum to answer. The surveys and forum questions you answer earn you points and once you reach a certain point level, the company converts the points to an Amazon.com coupon code for a designated amount. The amount of the Amazon.com coupon code is based on the level of points earned. Amazon.com coupon codes are e-mailed quarterly.

Sustainability: Consumer Village has been around at least since November 2007 and Gongos Research was founded in 1991. Its level of sustainability is high. However, because there's no set schedule on when activities (surveys and forum questions) will be available, it's a very sporadic method of earning your Amazon.com credit. Consumer Village does issue Amazon.com credit codes and does so in a timely fashion once you've earned it.

Note: None of these sites sends spam or sales pitches. The only communications issued are ones pertinent to the user's account and use of the sites.

Good luck and Happy Shopping!
