^{Amazon is the largest Internet-based retailer in the United States. Founded in 1994 by Jeff Bezos, Amazon was originally named "Cadabra" - and made its online debut in 1995. Amazon began as an online bookstore and within its first two months in business, had made sells in all fifty states and 45 countries around the world. (In case you're wondering, the first book ever sold on Amazon.com was Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies by Douglas Hofstadte.) Amazon has since expanded its product line to include electronics, appliances, household goods, apparel, TV shows, Amazon echo, Amazon video and more. Amazon.com has come a long way from their early days when employees would ring a bell inside the building to celebrate making a sale.}

No matter what you purchase, we recommend that you checkout with Amazon Prime to get free 2-day shipping on everything. If you're thinking of getting Amazon Prime, then you should know all the benefits it includes - especially for $99 per year! The original purpose of Amazon Prime was to provide free 2-day shipping on all orders with no minimum purchase. Without physical store locations, offering free shipping was effective in making their vast inventory conveniently available to everyone. Over time, Amazon added more perks and features to Prime giving their customers more for their money.

Amazon has two different card options: the Prime Rewards Visa Card and the Prime Store Card. The Amazon Rewards Visa Card will get you things like 5% cash back at Amazon.com and Whole Foods Market PLUS 2% back at restaurants, gas stations, and drugstore. To top it all off, this card gets you 1% on all other purchases- no matter what! The Amazon.com Store card does not have the non-prime cash back rewards, BUT, it does offer 5% off Amazon purchases, plus access to 6, 12, and 24 month special financing and 0% interest 12-month equal pay. Both cards have no annual fees! Check the site for APR and application deals.

If you don’t mind open box or used products, you should definitely check out the Amazon Warehouse page, which allows shoppers to find great deals on everything from electronics to housewares. Plus, they frequently have promotion codes for further discounts on your first purchase. Buying from third-party sellers and individuals on Amazon is another way to get huge discounts on used items, especially previous generation electronics and older books. ISpyCoupons.com
