UPDATE: Jul. 10, 2023, 8:47 a.m. EDT This story has been updated with all current offers.

Amazon will literally pay you to shop this Prime Day. No, really.

For the second year in a row, the retail giant is giving customers the opportunity to earn free credits they can redeem during its annual sitewide sale (which is happening on July 11 and 12). Only one offer was still live at the time of writing, but the good news is that it's open to trial users of Prime as well as paid members — no need to commit to a subscription for eligibility.
