Dan Novaes explains how to maximize savings when shopping on Amazon by using Amazon Subscribe & Save and Amazon-branded cashback credit cards. He gives concrete percentages and household spending examples: Subscribe & Save can yield 10–15% discounts on recurring items, Amazon cards provide 5% cashback (6% if you accept slower shipping), and his household’s Amazon spend (~$20k–$30k/yr) translates into roughly $1,500 cash back plus another ~$500 from Subscribe & Save — about $2,000 saved per year.

I shop probably 85% of my things from Amazon because it's very simple, gets to my house, I don't have to think. And one of the things that we often use is Amazon subscribe and Save feature. This allows you to save anywhere from 10 to 15% on the things you buy as long as you're timely and you're thoughtful about when you're getting your paper towels, when you're getting these everyday items that will add up to hundreds or thousands of dollars a year in extra savings. The other thing that we do is that Amazon has two cards specifically that have one of the best cashback systems I've ever seen. You can save five on all of your purchases. And if you're willing to wait an extra day or two in shipping, that actually goes up to 6%. I at my household spend in the vicinity of probably 20 to $30,000 a year on Amazon. And which all of that money I am getting 5% cash back. And so that is an extra 1500 dollars to buy things that I was going to buy anyways through Amazon's just by using their credit card. And then if I add the subscribe and Save to the items that are applicable to that, we're talking about an extra $500. So $2,000 extra a year, 10 years, 20 extra thousand dollars. So you get the drift here. Sick of wasting all this money. Follow us and get all of our hacks for free.
