How to Score $24 Free During Amazon's October Prime Day Event

Amazon Prime Day promotions can provide money for Amazon Go stores, Prime Video and more.

If you're looking for a little bit of extra pocket money for Amazon's October Prime Day event, the online retail giant has a few different promotions that altogether add up to $24. During Amazon's Big Deal Days, that extra money could get you an Echo Dot with Kasa smart plug or a Veehoo elevated dog bed.

Along with its long list of product deals for Prime Day -- including some early ones already on sale -- Amazon is offering four ways for you to get a bit of cash to spend: reloading an Amazon gift card, making purchases from Amazon Go, renting or buying videos on Prime Video, or adding a debit or credit card to Amazon Wallet. All four could get you an extra $24 total.

Earn $6 for Prime Video when you spend $30 before October 13
