How to Stack Amazon Discounts Like a Pro (Canadian Edition)
Published: December 19, 2025
One Amazon discount is good. Stacking several at once is how you save hundreds.
Most shoppers use just one trick — maybe a coupon or cashback. Pros combine 4–6 methods on the same order. The best part? All of these are 100% allowed by Amazon and work perfectly on Amazon.ca (and often Amazon.com for cross-border shoppers).
Here’s exactly how to layer them for maximum savings.
Step 1: Start with Discounted Amazon Gift Cards (5–10% off)
Buy Amazon gift cards at a discount before you shop — instant savings on everything.
- Rakuten Canada often offers 5–10% cashback on Amazon gift cards.
- Sites like Raise.com or CardCash sell them at 3–8% off (use PayPal for safety).
- Great Canadian Rebates occasionally runs gift card bonuses.
Step 2: Add Cashback from a Portal (1–10% more)
Always click through a cashback site before heading to Amazon.
- Best for Canadians: Rakuten.ca (up to 10%), Great Canadian Rebates, Ampli.
- Even 1–2% on electronics adds up fast.
Step 3: Clip Amazon Coupons & Check Subscribe & Save (5–15%)
- Visit the Amazon Coupons page and clip any that apply.
- Use Subscribe & Save on eligible items (up to 15% off) — cancel after shipment if you don’t need recurring.
Step 4: Choose No-Rush Shipping for Digital Credits ($1–$5 per order)
If you’re not in a hurry, select “No-Rush Shipping” at checkout → Amazon gives you credits for ebooks, music, or video rentals.
Step 5: Verify with Price Tracking Tools
Before checkout, confirm it’s actually a good price using Keepa or CamelCamelCamel.

Pro Tips for Canadians
- Stacking works on both Amazon.ca and Amazon.com (use a package forwarder for .com deals).
- Track everything in a simple spreadsheet to see your real savings.
- Combine with credit card rewards for even more (e.g., 5% back cards).
