Amazon is offering a $10 credit to Prime subscribers for completing basic tasks, like watching shows on Amazon Prime Video, streaming music from Prime Music, and borrowing e-books from Prime Reading.

Ahead of Prime Day on July 12 and 13, Amazon launched Prime Stampcard, an interactive program that allows new and old subscribers to collect four stamps to earn $10 off a future purchase.

With Prime Stampcard available to longtime subscribers as well as free-trial holders, Amazon is trying to convince new members to stay by highlighting different Prime features in an interactive way.

How Amazon Prime Stampcard works

This game-like program requires Prime members to experience Prime's four main benefits to collect the stamps: free shipping, video streaming, music streaming, and e-book borrowing.

Prime subscribers that collect all four stamps will be rewarded with $10 in store credit. Stamps can be earned between June 16 and July 13.

To participate, Prime subscribers need to click on the "Activate Stampcard" button on the Stampcard page before getting started.

Subscribers must then collect all four stamps by completing each task:

Purchase a Prime-eligible item (at least $5 worth)
Stream a Prime Video show
Listen to a song with Prime Music
Borrow an eBook on Prime Reading or Kindle Unlimited

Stamps may take up to 48 hours to show as completed after finishing a task.

Remember, Prime Stampcard isn't free.

Since Prime Stampcard requires buying a Prime-eligible product for at least $5, that makes the $10 credit more like a rebate.

There are a few other terms and conditions to highlight. Cancelling the Prime subscription will void the credit if it has not already been used. Likewise, returning that Prime-eligible purchase of at least $5 will also void that $10 credit.

The $10 credit is only good for items sold by Amazon, not third-party sellers. Participants should read the full terms and conditions before earning stamps.

Prime Stampcard is also only available for those with a full Amazon Prime membership — not for Prime Invitee, Prime Business, Prime Video, or Prime Instant Video account holders.

Regardless, for Prime subscribers or free-trial members that already plan on making a purchase, Prime Stampcard could sweeten some upcoming Prime Day deals.
