If you’re shopping on Amazon, you might have noticed the “Buy 4, Save 5%” promotion on certain items. At first glance, the 5% discount may seem small, but with a clever strategy, you can actually save a bit more money than you might expect. Here’s how.

The Trick: Use Cheap Items to Unlock the Discount

The promotion works like this: if you buy four items that qualify, Amazon applies a 5% discount to all of them. The key is that you don’t have to buy four expensive items, you can combine your main purchase with a few very cheap items to reach the four-item threshold.

For example, some of the cheapest items in this offer are Smarty SIM cards:

• Smarty Sim #1 = 5p (You will save money if your main item is over £3)

• Smarty Sim #2 = 15p (You will save money if your main item is over £9)

• Smarty Sim #3 = 20p (You will save if your main item is over £12)

• Voxi Sim = 20p (You will save if your main item is over £12)

Here’s how it works in practice:

1. Say you want to buy an item that costs £20 and is included in the “Buy 4, Save 5%” offer.

2. You add three Smarty SIM cards at 5p each to your basket. That’s just 15p total for the extra items.

3. Amazon applies the 5% discount to all four items, meaning you save £1 on your main item. Even after spending 15p on the SIM cards, you’re still saving money overall.

If the 5p SIM cards are out of stock, you could use 20p SIM cards instead. Three of those would cost 60p, so your main item would need to cost at least £12 for the deal to save you money.

Bonus Savings

• If you were already planning to buy multiple qualifying items, the discount becomes even more valuable.

• The 5% discount applies to all qualifying items, not just the most expensive one. While the discount on the tiny SIM cards is negligible, every little bit helps.

This method won’t save you hundreds, but it’s a neat trick for stretching your money a little further. Even saving a few pence, or a few pounds, can add up over time, especially if you frequently shop on Amazon.

So next time you see a “Buy 4, Save 5%” offer, check for some ultra-cheap qualifying items, add a few to your basket, and watch the savings add up.
