Top Easy Way To Get Free Amazon Gift Card Or Any Visa Card - DollarsGoal
Top Secret Ways To Get Free Gift Card
When it comes to online shopping dreams, I don’t give up easily, so my workaround solution is to use free gift cards I’ve accumulated through various different life hacks to help offset my expensive taste. The best part is that I figured out how to get free gift cards without having to spend any money. It seems like every day there’s a new way to earn points online to redeem for gift cards or discount codes.
I’ve tried most of them, and here are my top 13 favorites. One of them involves zero technology whatsoever!
1. Use Swagbucks or InboxDollars to Search the Web
Swagbucks and InboxDollars are market research companies that pay you to use their search engine instead of some of the more prominent ones like Google and Bing. The idea here is that they will learn more about people search habits and uncover patterns that may be valuable to companies trying to better understand consumers. You can read our Swagbucks Review here and InboxDollars Review here.
Each site has a $5 signup bonus.
(Update: Swagbucks is now offering a $10 sign up bonus for using their search tool).
Neither of these are going to make you rich overnight (or ever), but if you’re wondering how to get Amazon or Visa gift cards with virtually zero effort, you may as well try these out. The other perk being that you start earning online without completing offers or committing to any sort of work whatsoever.
2. Take Online Surveys that Give You Gift Cards
It seems like every day there’s a new survey site popping up, so I’ll only tell you about the best survey sites that give you the best rewards, including free gift cards.
Seriously, the range of compensation on survey sites is astonishing! I got suckered into one a couple of weeks ago that was offering like 12 cents to take a 20-minute survey. I won’t name names, but I’ve definitely not included it here.
Some of the survey sites I’ll share here offer five or six dollars for surveys that take less than 10 minutes. You can cash in or accumulate points and convert them into free gift cards, which I love doing!
And some even have you do fun tasks like play games and watch movie trailers.
Here’s the rundown on my favorites and why:
Survey Junkie:
- Super easy to start making money right out of the gate
- Earn Rewards: Complete surveys and earn virtual points
- Get Paid: Redeem virtual points for Paypal cash deposits or e-Giftcards
- DollarSprout’s Survey Junkie Review
Vindale Research: You get an instant $2 signup bonus and the surveys are for fun, recognizable companies.
SurveyClub: You can get text notifications about new surveys, plus you also get entered to win into sweepstakes each time you complete a survey.
3. Join Rakuten and Get a Free Gift Card ($10)
All you have to do is sign up for an Rakuten account (formerly Ebates), and you can get a $10 gift card after your first purchase. Plus, you earn cash back every quarter.
Rakuten is a cash back shopping site, and if you shop strategically, you can earn up to 40% off at thousands of stores. In addition to giving you cash back, you’ll also be alerted to discounts, which really comes in handy.
All you have to do is shop through their portal on Rakuten.com or the app and you can start accumulating cash back rewards as early as today. If you’re worried about forgetting to shop through the portal, you can install the free extension on your browser and it will prompt you whenever you’re shopping on an Rakuten partner site.
You can also redeem your rewards in the form of free gift cards to major retailers such as Amazon, Home Depot, Lowes or Starbucks — or you just pick up a free Visa gift card and spend your rewards anywhere you like. Sometimes there are extra incentives to accepting a gift card in lieu of cash.

4. MyPoints: $10 Amazon Gift Card
The MyPoints app has been around for eons. Well, at least since 1996. And they’ve provided a ton of ways for you to accumulate cash, collect travel miles, receive discount codes, and earn Amazon gift cards. Like other rewards programs, you can earn points by taking surveys, watching videos, and searching the web. But, they’ve added even more fun activities, like playing games, printing coupons and shopping online at partner stores.
And here’s where it gets meta…you can earn points toward gift cards by buying gift cards. Kinda weird, but I like it.
Right now they have a online promo going where anyone who signs up will get a free $10 Amazon gift card after spending $20. Pretty sweet!
