Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is giving car buyers over $1,000 in free credit — how to qualify
TL;DR: Until March 31, Prime members who buy or lease a new car will get a free $1,250 Amazon Gift Card.
Did you really think Amazon’s Big Spring Sale (March 25–31) was just about heavily discounted gadgets and home deals? Think again, because Amazon is throwing away the rulebook this year and going huge.
During the 2026 Amazon Spring Sale, Prime members can score a $1,250 Amazon gift card when buying or leasing a new car through Amazon Autos. That's right, cars are now very much in the mix. There's no promo code or hoops to jump through with this limited-time offer — just buy the car, pick it up, and the credit lands in your inbox within two weeks. Here's the full breakdown of how it works:
Begin a purchase on any new car at Amazon Autos
Finish checkout and submit your order at Amazon Autos by March 31
Schedule a pickup appointment through Amazon Autos (you will still need to sign required documents from the dealer)
Pick up your car from the dealer by April 3
Within two weeks after you pick up the vehicle from the dealership, you will receive an email from Amazon containing the $1,250 Amazon gift card
We know the thought of buying a car through Amazon is a little strange, but Amazon Autos offers fair and transparent pricing, flexible payment options, and the possibility of test driving before you finalize. It's also nice to be able to browse, select, and pay online with all the Amazon convenience you've become used to.
There's so much going on over Amazon's Big Spring Sale, but a free credit of $1,250 deserves its moment in the spotlight. Already in the market for a new car? This limited-time promotion is a no-brainer.
