Update 6/12/25: Deal is back on one of the Amazon Zillions versions only, be sure to buy the one that’s tagged for the $20 ExtraBucks deal. (ht HarryTheFirstHarry)

The Offer
- CVS stores are offering $20 in ExtraBucks when you buy $100 Zillions gift cards. Valid 11/24 – 11/30.
Zillions gift cards can be redeemed for Airbnb, Lowe’s, and many others (including Amazon, in some versions).
Our Verdict
Decent savings. Made better with these potential stacks:
- Cash app 7% back
- Albert $5 back
- Rakuten in-store cash back offer of 10% on purchases of up to $50. Note, however, the terms that this doesn’t work on gift cards.
- Some have mentioned an Ibotta deal as well

I've been to three CVS locations in the Boston area and have not seen any yellow tags in the giftcard racks. Has anyone in Massachusetts seen the tags?
Picked up discounted giftcards despite no signage.
Is there a limit on amount of cards we can buy
You can buy multiple GCs but you won't get multiple rewards -- limit one $20 ECB per rewards account for the week.
They seemed to have reset it today so this week is a new offer -- someone on SD bought one last week and another one today (he got $20 reward for each purchase)
Purchased $100 Zift Zillions "With Love" version (paid with Amex for min spend) -- has Amazon logo on it and people on SD confirmed it works.
No problem getting $20 rewards -- redeemed fine for $100 Amazon GC online
Rakuten in-store is at 5% today. Although just a few days ago it was at 7.5%.
Rakuten in-store is up at 10% now.
Does this work for all zift zillion or just certain ones? iwent to cvs i see the $20 eb on some but not all zift
The weekly ad in my area says that the $20 ExtraBucks offer is for "Bass Pro Shops, GOLFNOW, Foot Locker, PlayStation, Applebee's, Domino's gift cards and other participating brands." A photo in the ad also shows gift cards for Zillions, CVS, and others.
CVS bucks aren't really worth $20 when you consider how much their prices are marked up. Realistically it's only $10 unless you coupon to some extreme level. Acme/Safeway has the same deal $15 on $75 GC purchase, which is a much better value (if you buy groceries).
Lol Safeway prices are also terrible without couponing to the same degree
I don't find that to be the case.
Buy what is on sale for that week and it doesn't need to be with coupons. I never use coupons but I do use loyalty cards for all the supermarkets.
I find that people who complain about this are not shopping properly.
That's the same with the CVS weekly ad. Both operate on a high-low pricing strategy
From the zillionsgift website:
"We update our brand assortment regularly to provide the best options for our customers. You may find that we have added or removed a brand from the eGift options on ZillionsGift.com"
I got a Zift card through Shop Your Way points that showed Amazon as the first redemption option, but yesterday Amazon was removed as an option.
Evidently, having the logo on the card does not guarantee you can redeem for that card.
I wouldn't buy another Zift gift card.
That verbage is bait and switch.
These Zillions cards always look so sketchy to me. As a result, I have never purchased them.
Are they legit? Downside to purchasing and using them?
Purchased $150 from DoorDash.
PITA to redeem.
They did not like the email address I wanted to use. I had to use Hotmail account. Crazy stupid.
Worked well for me. Pretty straightforward to convert into Amazon balance
Anyone else read this initially as buy $100 zillion dollars of gift cards? lol
Same lol
