Introductory 3% Amazon voucher period ending - what to pre-pay/stockpile to maximise?

in Credit cards
Hey all,
I have an Amazon Mastercard, which pays 3% back in Amazon vouchers in the first 3 months, and 1% thereafter ( http://www.bankofamerica.co.uk/amazon/ ).
IMO, it's the best long-term value offer out there if your CC spending isn't high enough to get higher tiers of cashback from other cards.
My problem? The 3% cashback is ending in a week or so, and I'm wondering what I can pre-pay or stockpile to make the most of the offer.
I've thought about making a pre-payment on my energy, broadband etc bills, but none of them seem to allow it without charging a credit card processing fee that would dwarf the voucherback I'd get.
So - does anyone have any ideas for what I could buy/pre-pay to make the most of the offer, that would give me long-term value? (i.e. making sure I spend or pre-pay on things I'd have had to buy in the future anyway, rather than going wild and buying rubbish I don't need because it feels like a bargain)
There are loads of credit cards with similar introductory offers, so hopefully this will help others out too! :T
