Amazon is a great way to shop for gifts for everyone including yourself. A great way to get a jumpstart on getting those gifts through Amazon is to use gift certificates. You can win or earn Amazon gift certificates on a number of sites on the internet. If you get started now you can help with your Christmas shopping by doing this. If you didn't know, Amazon has a system where you can enter your gift certificate code and it will keep your balance till you need to use it.

1. Sweepstakes - Companies offer these as a promotion of services or product with chances to win numerous prizes. The entries range from daily, instant, or one time only. On most sites that compile a list of sweeps they have a way to search for sweeps that offer gift cards as prizes. You can find these at sweeps advantage or sweeps today.

2. Games - I found a gaming site that is fun and everyday offers a few games that you can win Amazon gift certificates. Iwon has became a favorite site to play games. It has all kinds of games that you can enjoy.

3. Search & Win - Do you search on sites like Google or Yahoo? I am sure the answer is yes, so why not earn or win Amazon gift certificates while you do it. Sites like Prize Wish, Lucky Search, Irazoo, Blingo, and Winzy uses Google powered search engines. It varies from the site that you choose but a few of them you earn points for every search that you can cash in for Amazon certificates. Some of the sites mentioned also gives you an instant chance to win on random searches.

4. Social Networking - I found a social network called Gather that allows you to earn points from your activity on their site and cash in for Amazon cards.

5. Get Paid To Sites - These are sites that get paid by advertisers to post their advertisements to get leads from their members. These sites are paid by the advertisers for every legitimate lead they get for the advertisements. A lead could be simply an email address, zip code or other specific information that they ask for. These site pay you for what leads you enter and then you can cash in your earnings for Amazon Gift Cards. Honeybee Points, My Cash Honey, Sparkle Dollars, & Royal Gift Cards are a few sites that offer Amazon gift certificates as a cash out option.

6. Surveys - You can give your opinions to companies that will reward you with Amazon gift certificates. Datatelligence, Epoll, Lightspeed Panel, Hotspex, and Test Spin are some of the sites that offer Amazon as a cash out for survey participation.

7. Ebay - Sometimes on Ebay you can catch a gift card being auctioned off and catch it lower than face value. I have done this twice and gotten one that was for $25 for $15 and another one that was for $50 for $30. You just have to watch it frequently to find the good deals.

Just think of all of the free Amazon gift certificate dollars you can spend just for doing some of these sites. I plan to pay for all of my upcoming birthdays and Christmas gifts by doing these sites. I am sure there are more sites out on the internet that offer Amazon gift certificates but I just wanted to name a few that I knew were legitimate. I hope you have fun winning and earning.

    This site is quick and easy to do. You watch short videos, less than 1 minute and get points for entering 2 numbers that run on the edge of the video. You get paid $8 through paypal when you get 8000 pts which doesn't take long to get. http://www.beezag.com/index.html?utm_source=beezag&utm_medium=1_1_1_c957ea7816b379d2bcaab6fd8b911d579c146a7f8b76b260&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=invitation

    I have been using swagbucks for a couple of months now and make about $100 a month in Amazon Gift Cards. You just join, search the web, earn points then cash them in for gift cards, paypal or other prizes. It's easy to use, sign up below:

    As a fellow writer, I find myself online doing a lot of research frequently. Of the things you mentioned, I've been experimenting with swagbucks and gather. Swagbucks is useful because it brings up the same stuff I get from Google, but I'm getting rewarded with Amazon gift certificates. Why not, if I'm going to be online doing searches anyway? Gather I just joined, and it seems like there is a lot of cool community interaction going on there. I like the idea o winning points that can convert into tangible things, and also it is a great place to promote your work on AC. I've also made over $150 in Amazon credit using Am Turk- which has some pro's and cons (see my related article here). Good luck, I hope you make enough on the side for some cool holiday prezzys.

    You will guaranteed make this much in free amazon gift cards by using these two

    Swagbucks

    http://tinyurl.com/SwagbucksAccountCreation

    Just go to the link fill in the info and sign up. Then just search the web using their search engine and you will automatically earn swagbucks to trade in for $5 Amazon gift cards(I do $10-$15/month)

    Irazoo

    http://tinyurl.com/IrazooAccountCreation


    Just follow the link or cut and paste it in your browser sign up and there you have it. This site is better than Swagbucks because the points are guaranteed if you rate and recommend the sites you look at, swagbucks you just win by chance. I get guaranteed $15/month at Irazoo, that's every 10 days I trade points in for a $5 amazon gift card, ask anyone that uses swagbucks if they get a gift card every 10 days and they will say NO that's way hard.

    have fun winning!!!!

    I definitely say go for Swag Bucks. It is so easy and you are searching through Google and Ask. You can redeem your Swag Bucks for all kinds of prizes but the Amazon gift cards are pretty awesome at only 45 Swag Bucks for a $5 gift card. It doesn't take long to earn that many Swag Bucks either! http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/beletseri
