Amazon Autos lets Prime members buy cars online, get $1,500 gift card
Skip the sales floor: buy, lease, or trade-in a car through Amazon and earn a $1,500 Prime Day-sized bonus.
Amazon Autos, the e-commerce giant’s new automotive marketplace, is now available to U.S. Prime members. The platform lets users browse new, used, and certified pre-owned vehicles from local dealerships without dealing with pushy salespeople. Buyers can complete financing and payment plans online, schedule test drives, and pick up their vehicle within a few days of checkout. The service mirrors the convenience of Carvana but ties directly into Amazon’s ecosystem.
To sweeten the deal, Prime members get a $1,500 Amazon gift card when they both trade in their old vehicle and purchase or lease a new one through Amazon Autos. The offer excludes Amazon Autos employees and certain manufacturer staff. The gift card voucher is emailed up to two weeks after the transaction, so patience is required. A limited return window of 3–7 days is available if the dealership permits it. This move marks Amazon’s deepest push into auto retail, using Prime perks to drive adoption.
