Amazon Promo Codes & Coupons

Prime Shopping Edition comes with the same higher cashback rate on the Amazon Pay ICICI Bank Credit Card as full Prime, plus early access to deals during sales. If you do not watch Prime Video or use Amazon Music, full Prime charges you extra for things you will not use, so pick Shopping Edition. On any plan, Prime benefits do not cover every item, especially large appliances and furniture.

If you already have full Prime and do not use its video and music, buy Shopping Edition right after your current plan runs out. Any order placed while you have no plan earns only the lower non-member card cashback.

During sale events, the offers section on the product page often lists an instant discount on another bank's card. The instant discount needs that bank's card, while the higher cashback needs the Amazon Pay ICICI Bank Credit Card, so work out what each option saves you in rupees before you choose. The Amazon Pay ICICI cashback has no upper limit and does not show in the payment page total, so add it in yourself. Gold coin purchases do not earn the card cashback.

On phones, laptops, tablets, TVs, fridges, washing machines and ACs that show a 'With Exchange' option on the product page, the exchange takes your old device's value off the new one. The option shows only in select cities, and the value depends on your pincode and on your old device's brand, model and condition. Enter your delivery pincode on the product page to see whether the option shows for you, then add your old device's details to see the value on offer. Subtract any exchange pickup fee and compare what is left with what you could get by selling the device yourself.

The old device is checked at your door when the new one arrives, and it must match the model and condition you entered, so describe cracks, dents and faults honestly when you order. A phone, laptop or tablet that turns on only while plugged into its charger is not accepted.

Skip the exchange on a purchase you might send back. If you return the new product, you get the exchange value back only as a gift card on your Amazon account. Your old device is not returned, and the pickup fee is not refunded.

A seller who ships an item themselves can add their own delivery charge when the listing is not Prime eligible, and that charge applies even if you have Prime. When several sellers list the same product, open the list of other sellers on the product page and add each one's delivery charge to its price before you choose.

Without Prime, free standard delivery applies to orders of items Amazon ships itself that reach the minimum, and Amazon Fresh orders have their own limits. If your cart has a seller-shipped item, look for an offer of the same product that the store ships itself. Switching to it ends that seller's delivery charge, and the item then counts toward the free-delivery minimum. A collected coupon covers only the seller who issued it, so compare that seller's price after the coupon with the cheapest other offer plus its delivery charge.

If your business is registered for GST, you can claim back the GST on most business purchases as input tax credit, but only against a GST invoice that carries your GSTIN. On Amazon, that invoice comes with eligible orders placed from an Amazon Business account, which is free to open. To claim the credit, buy from Business-eligible offers on the Business account rather than from your regular account.

Not every listing gives a GST invoice, so pick an offer that shows one is available before you order. When you can claim the tax back, your real cost is the price before GST. The Business account shows prices with and without GST, so compare sellers on the price without it.

Amazon charges a ₹5 marketplace fee on every order, no matter how many items are in it, and Prime members pay it too. So 3 products ordered separately cost you ₹15 in fees, while the same 3 in one order cost just ₹5. Add everything you need to your cart and check out once. If the purchase is for your business and you have an Amazon Business account, order from that account instead, as Amazon Business orders do not carry the marketplace fee.
