This is probably the easiest $10 you'll ever make. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, hop onto Grubhub (Prime members get Grubhub+ for free) and order at least $25 worth of food by 11:59 p.m. PT on July 15. Just be sure to use the code GRUBPRIME when checking out.
Note: Make sure your Amazon Prime account and Grubhub account are linked before placing your order.
Sign up for an Amazon Prime Visa credit card and get a $200 sign-up bonus

This deal is a little more involved, but the payoff is worth it. If you sign up for an Amazon Prime Visa card and are approved, Amazon will instantly gift you $200 in Amazon gift card credit. (According to the website, you’ll receive an “instant decision” in 15 seconds.)

when you dump your change at participating Coinstar kiosks
Did you know Coinstar kiosks allow you to convert your loose change directly into an Amazon gift card? All you have to do is follow the on-screen prompts and dump your coins into the machine — the service is free, and you'll get the full value of your spare change transferred onto a paper eGift Card.

This is a super easy way to turn forgotten coins into something you'll actually use on Prime Day.
