Amazon Prime Day 2022 won't be here until July, but one of the best Amazon deals of the year is happening right now. Now through June 24, first-time Amazon gift-card buyers get a free $10 Amazon promotional credit when they spend $50 on Amazon e-gift cards in a single order, using code USEGC222. Then, you can score another $10 credit when you reload the gift card with $100 or more.
