Another hidden gem is the Amazon Outlet section, where you’ll find markdowns and outlet prices on apparel, accessories, beauty products and household items. And speaking of household items, Amazon has a dedicated coupon page which is a great resource if you're looking for an Amazon promo code. They have coupons on household necessities like cleaning supplies, bath and beauty products, and groceries.
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.
Amazon sells products in many different categories including Books & Audible, Movies, Music & Games, Electronics, Computers & Office, Alexa Smart Home, Home, Garden & Tolls, Pet Supplies, Restaurants, Food & Grocery, Beauty & Health, Toys, Kids & Baby, Clothing, Shoes, Jewelry & Watches, Handmade, Sports & Outdoors, Automotive & Industrial and more.
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.
