Get £15 Amazon.co.uk voucher as often as you like...

I have just tried this and it works. Amazon.co.uk gives you a £15 voucher to use on its site, when you register for their credit card and as soon as you spend on it. So, fill in the on-line form, wait for the paper form, sign it and send it back, and your Amazon.co.uk credit card should be with you very quickly. Then just buy something very cheap, pay off the amount in full, wait for your statement and voucher to come through. If your outstanding balance is back at £0, cancel the card and start all over again for another £15.

I've done this just now and have already earned £30. They don't seem to be checking whether you've been a customer with them recently, probably because it's an on-line application process with minimal human interference.

Try it, but make sure you pay your Amazon credit card bill in full and on time. Mind you, I think they offer 0% on purchases until the end of the year, so it may be worth trying out. But it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Oliver.

    They have been running this deal for quite a while, I have the card, and got the voucher, not sure if they have any clauses to stop you closing opening etc and recieving more vouchers.

    its a rebranded Halifax card, so guess the card issuer ( Halifax) will cotton on soon enough

    As cards go, its not too bad ( 1% back- in vouchers- on amazon and 0.5% for other spending)

    That said if you want to take new cards I would have thought you would be better applying for the various cards via cashback site / or going for freebies rather than trying for the same one each time

    You will also damage your credit rating too by applying for so many cards so often
    2p off is still 2p off!
  • I hadn't thought of that, because my credit score is pretty good anyway. However, you may get yourself into trouble if you do this too often and then it's not worth getting x times £15 worth of Amazon vouchers.

    If you do want to do it, best to leave about 4 months inbetween any new applications.
