Win a $500 Amazon Gift Card

Amazon is hosting a Baby Registry Sweepstakes and handing out one $500 Amazon.com gift card per week until March 2014. This started about a month ago but you still have plenty of  time to put your hat in the ring. Just create an Amazon baby registry, add 10 items, and cross your fingers! Just make sure you get your confirmation email within 7 days stating that you have been entered in the contest and don’t unsubscribe from registry related emails.

Amazon Baby Registry Info

Even if you aren’t sure that your family and friends will be interested in buying a baby shower gift from Amazon, there are still some good reasons to create a baby registry with them.

• 30 days before your baby shower date, you’ll get a 10% completion discount on eligible items on your registry. So put everything on your registry that you would like to have for your baby because you’ll probably find the cheapest prices on Amazon.
• It is a Universal Registry which means you can add anything from ANY WEBSITE to your registry.
• You have 90 days to return anything so if you change your mind, end up with a duplicate item, or just don’t need something anymore – you can get your money back. You just print a label and it’s picked up at your door step.
• You can use your Amazon Baby Registry as a way to organize yourself and figure out everything you need and want for your baby. I used it as a shopping list so I wouldn’t forget all my choices. At one point, I had several strollers on there, and then I narrowed it down to one after more research.
• And of course, you could win $500 just for creating a registry. It costs you nothing but that gift card could buy your nursery furniture or diapers and wipes for a long time.

If you aren’t a member of Amazon Mom yet – you can read my article that explains it all. You can get 3 months for free and I recommend using those 3 months when you are ready to start buying. I started my free trial after we found out that we were having a girl but the trial was one year back then. You might want to wait until the baby is born so you can use those 3 months when you know which diapers and wipes work best for your baby – and you will be using a lot!
