Games to earn Amazon gift cards

Games that earn Amazon gift cards are simply good casual games played through a reward app. With Playout, you finish levels in free puzzle and sorting games, your coins turn into real money in your balance every four hours, and when you’re ready you cash it out as an Amazon gift card.

Here are eight games from the Playout shelf, grouped by the kind of play session they suit, and how to turn your playtime into an Amazon card.

How games turn into an Amazon gift card

1. Install Playout from Google Play. There’s no sign-up form; your account lives on your phone.
2. Install a game from the shelf. Every game there earns coins for every finished level.
3. Let your coins convert. Every four hours they become real money in your balance, which only ever goes up until you cash out.
4. Tap your balance and choose Amazon. Your gift card arrives by email, usually within minutes.

Now, the games. Every one is free on Google Play.

1. Jelly Jam, for a quick break

Jelly Jam fills a parking lot with wobbly jelly cars that can only drive where their arrows point. Tap them out in the right order, and send three of one color in a row to fuse a Jelly Truck that clears a whole lane. Levels flow straight into each other, so a short break turns into several finished lots.

2. Hexa Pop, for a colorful few minutes

Hexa Pop has you drop stacks of colored chips on a honeycomb, watch matching colors hop together, and burst tall towers in confetti. Most levels take under a minute, which makes it ideal for the moments between other things.

3. Mahjong Smart, for a long, calm session

Mahjong Smart is classic Mahjong solitaire with no timer. Match free pairs until the pile is gone. Since nothing hurries you, it’s the game to settle into on the sofa, clearing board after board.

4. Crown Crush, for one-thumb play on the go

Crown Crush needs one thumb and a bit of timing: hold to smash your crowned ball down a spinning tower, let go on the dark plates. Perfect for a bus stop or a line at the store.

5. Domino Blast, for puzzle fans

Domino Blast is a block puzzle with a twist: clear a line with a standing domino in it and the domino topples across the board, setting off a chain. Each level has a clear goal, and a reward chest turns up every few levels.

6. Candy Cannon Sort, for sorting fans

Candy Cannon Sort turns ball sorting into aiming: fling candy into glass tubes and fill a tube with four of one color to make it erupt. You can see the next balls coming, so every shot can be planned.

7. Bolt Out, for satisfying cascades

Bolt Out is a screw puzzle. Pull bolts, pack them into crates by color, and watch plates fall away once their last bolt is out. Setting up a big cascade is a lovely feeling.

8. Mines & Meows, for a thinking break

Mines & Meows is a cozy, cat-themed logic puzzle where the clues tell you which cells are safe. It rewards patience, not speed, and every solved board adds coins.

Want more? The shelf also has Block Bus!, Screw Blast!, Arrow Survival and Tile Tap!. See them all on the games page, or read our full list of the best games to earn money.

Reaching your Amazon gift card sooner

You get there by playing, and a few habits help the same playtime go further:

• Keep your daily streak. Finish five levels a day in any game. Your best streak sets a coin boost that stays with you. See the daily streak.
• Finish daily challenges. Each one earns a ticket, and a full set unlocks a dice roll that multiplies a coin reward. See daily challenges.
• Join the weekly Live Event. Collect enough items in a week and you win a share of the prize pool, paid into your balance as real money. See the Live Event.
• Turn on Money Boost on the Home tab for more coins per finished level.

Redeeming your card

When your gift card email arrives, open it and accept the reward. Then redeem the card in your Amazon account. Amazon gift cards are generally tied to the store they’re issued for, so use it in the Amazon store you actually shop in.

Payouts go out in round amounts, and anything above the round amount stays in your balance for next time. Prefer cash this time? You can pick PayPal or a Google Play gift card instead. Our guide to free gift cards by playing games compares the options.

What to expect

Think of it as gift-card money for time you’d spend playing anyway, not a second income. The more levels you finish and the more regularly you play, the sooner your next Amazon card arrives.

Playout is available worldwide on Google Play for Android. Install it, pick a game from this list, and start working toward your first gift card.
