I don't shop The A much, maybe 3-4 times per year. 

I had an Amazon gift card and finally used it up. Now I'm getting an offer of an $8 bonus if I reload my gift card. One time offer on a $100 first reload, so they say.

Question is, if I ignore the $8, does the offer get better?

Any experience? TIA!!

It's not a bidding war....lol.   They aren't going to offer you more to reload.

The reload offer popped up when I logged into Amazon so directly from them.

I was clicking around to look at Rub & Buff that @Oznell recommended.

I always ignore retailers offers! They usually get sweeter with time!

So funny to see this because this just happened to me yesterday. It's not a scam. I needed to buy a new tablet and I had a couple small Amazon gift cards and a large Visa gift card that I wanted to use.  The way they would accept the Visa gift card was if it was loaded onto an Amazon card.  So today  I  have an $8 Amazon card on my account.

I did this once and got the credit.  Occasionally this offer will pop up but I am leary if you still qualify for it since I have done it a couple of years ago and it says for the "first" reload.

I had to bump my own thread with an update.

Amazon increased their bonus reload offer from $8 to $12 on their gift card. 😁

It is a one time offer, only good on your first reload of $100+. 12% bonus during sky high inflation, I'll take it!

I was on my account page under the link to gift cards.

This gift card was a bonus for opening their Chase cc. I used the card down to a zero balance so this is my first reload.

thanks @Snowpuppy 

 not seeing this offer under my gift card tab.

If this is a first reload to your card, why not ask their CS?

I went to "reload", clicked on $100 and the offer appeared with their terms before I actually checked out.
