Best Amazon tips and tricksAmazon  Dashlane can keep your employees' passwords safe By Pocket-lint Promotion · 23 August 2022 If you're concerned about your organisation's security, this is a no-brainer. Shop with AlexaUsing Amazon Alexa via an Amazon Echo speaker or the main Amazon app, you can order or re-order any items. Just say "Alexa, order [product name]." Be sure to set up a confirmation code in your Alexa app to prevent accidental orders. You can also use Alexa shopping skills to browse deals at other retailers. Also, stay tuned for more Alexa-only deals this holiday season.
Amazon Cash (or Top Up)Amazon Cash lets you add money to your Amazon account balance. It essentially lets you apply cash toward your Amazon account balance so that you can finally have money to spend on Amazon without a bank card or a gift card hooked. Go here to get started.
Amazon  Checkout and deliverySame-day or one-hour deliveriesIn over 8,000 cities, Prime members can get same-day delivery on qualifying orders over $35. Order by noon, and your package will be delivered by 9pm (seven days a week). If you order in the evening, you'll get free one-day delivery. Go here to see if you're eligible. There's also Amazon Prime Now, which offers deliveries in one to two hours. Enter your ZIP code to see if this option is available to you. Late delivery reimbursementIf you buy something that qualifies for free shipping with Prime, but it doesn’t arrive on time, you can get a one-month extension of your membership. If you don’t have Prime, Amazon will refund the shipping costs. To inquire, go to Contact Amazon > select "An Order I Placed" > select your order > select Problem with an order > Shipping or delivery issues > Shipment is late.
Amazon DayAll Prime members should see a new Amazon Day option when they checkout and pick their shipping option. The idea is, they can set any day of the week as their delivery day. So, if you select Friday, all the items you bought during the week will arrive on your designated "Amazon Day", or Friday. That day will be your default unless you change it at checkout. Weekend deliveries are available in some areas.
Amazon LockerIf you got a location near you with one, select Amazon Locker for pickup (or returns) at checkout. These are secure, self-service kiosks. There's more than 2,800 lockers are located across 70+ US cities. You'll find them at places like Whole Foods Markets and convenience stores.
Amazon KeyAn alternative to Amazon Locker is Amazon Key, which allows delivery people to enter your car, garage, or home when dropping off packages.
Unsplash  Cards, rewards, and pointsShopping with rewards pointsAmazon offers a couple cards that let you earn rewards points. You can redeem these points for gift cards (or as cash back via Chase). But points do not work for items like digital downloads and some subscription and grocery items. You can also link other credit cards - such as American Express, Discover, Citi, and more -- to your Amazon account and Shop With Points. Check out the Amazon.com Rewards Visa Card from Chase that can be used anywhere and to collect points. If you're a Prime member in the US, you get five points per dollar spent on Amazon and Whole Foods; two per dollar at restaurants, drugstores, and gas stations; and one per dollar on all other purchases. One hundred points earns you one dollar to spend on Amazon. Woo! There's also the Amazon Store Card, which is for shopping at Amazon at special rates. US Prime members get 5 per cent back when they buy eligible Prime-only items. If you qualify, you'll get a $60 gift card when you sign up. Amazon Credit BuilderAmazon partnered with Synchrony Financial to launch Amazon Credit Builder so that it can lend to US shoppers with either bad credit or no credit history. It includes a card with 5 per cent cash back on purchases. It also offers tips on how to build credit. To start, Synchrony is issuing what are known as “secured” credit cards - where people can deposit $200, for instance, and have a $200 credit limit. If you don't get approved for a typical Amazon credit card, you'll be prompted to apply. But the new card application is also available next to the other Amazon cards. To apply directly, go to Apply for Amazon Credit Builder > click Apply Now > and follow the on-screen instructions. No-rush shipping creditsPrime members can get a little extra something if they choose free no-rush shipping at checkout (instead of the two-day option). Your package will usually arrive within five days, and you will get credits applied to your account to use for future purchases.
