12 Clever Money Tricks Every Amazon Shopper Must Try

If you use Amazon a lot, there’s a good chance you’re leaving money on the table.
Here are some lesser-known tricks that can help you save cash, get rewards, avoid sneaky charges, and much more.
1. Earn up to $80 every time you win this game
Sounds nuts, obviously, but the idea of playing cash solitaire as a side gig has been around for years, and can be surprisingly lucrative (if you’re good enough, anyway).
The whole thing revolves around Solitaire Cash (a free iOS game).
The game itself is really simple: You play solitaire head-to-head against another real person. Whoever solves their deck the fastest wins real cash.
If you can get good at the game, it can be surprisingly lucrative: typically up to $80/game for the winner. Each game takes ~2 minutes, in my experience.
2. Don't pay for home repairs until you get this
If you have a home warranty, your warranty company will likely pay your home repair bills for you.
If you don’t have a warranty yet, think about getting yourself one. Choice Warranty is pretty good (link here).
Home warranty companies usually have pre-vetted maintenance and repair workers ready to get the job done (which is one less thing to worry about).
If you’re interested just enter your zip code here to look at pricing etc. Could save you a bunch of money the next time something breaks down.
3. Get out of $10k+ debt
If you’ve got $10k+ in unsecured debt (think credit cards, medical bills, etc), you could use a debt relief program and potentially reduce it by around 23% (on average).
Here’s how to quickly see if you qualify for debt relief:
Head to National Debt Relief’s site here

Find out if you qualify
Simple as that. You’ll likely end up paying less than you owed and could be debt free in 24-48 months.

4. Play bingo on your phone for up to $80/win
Believe it or not, top professional players are routinely making $1k+/month playing iPhone bingo games (sometimes more).
If you get a minute, take a look at Bingo Cash - it’s kind of like the solitaire game I mentioned above, but it’s basically just fast-paced rounds of bingo instead.
You play against a real opponent, and the winner of the game wins a real cash prize.
5. Convert your home's value into cash
If you own your home but are low on cash, you might want to look into a HELOC (home equity line of credit). It’s more/less a credit card, but you borrow against your home’s equity.
They usually have lower interest rates and more flexible terms that a typical loan would.

6. Stop paying credit card interest payments until nearly 2027
High-interest credit card payments can be a nightmare. Have you ever wished you could just take a break from them?
You actually might be able to. Many people may not know, but there’s a great way to avoid interest payments for over a year or more.
It’s called a balance transfer. In simple terms, you move your balance to a new credit card that offers a 0% intro APR for a set period of time, which could help you save on interest.
If you’re interested, here are a few great balance transfer cards to look into: link here.
7. Stop overpaying for car insurance (by $400+/year)
Believe it or not, the average American family still overspends by $461/year¹ on car insurance.
(Sometimes it’s significantly more: I saved $1,300/year when I switched)
Here’s how to quickly see how much you’re being overcharged (takes maybe a couple of minutes):
Pull up Coverage.com – it’s a free site that will compare offers for you
Answer the questions on the page
It’ll spit out a bunch of insurance offers for you.
That’s literally it. You’ll likely save yourself a bunch of money.
Here’s a link to Coverage.com
That’s all (for now).
