One of the main perks of having an Amazon Prime account is free shipping—and when you need something fast, it's simple to place an order and have a package arrive at your doorstep the next day. But if you don't mind taking a few minutes to run an errand once in a while, you might want to take advantage of a little-known Amazon offering. The online retailer will actually pay you to pick up your packages instead of having them delivered. Amazon confirmed to Best Life that certain Prime members—who pay for free delivery as part of their subscription—were told that if they pick up an order as opposed to having it delivered, they can collect a $10 reward. Those who received the message have either never used Amazon Pickup or haven't used it in the past 12 months for an order of $25 or more. Customers who received the email over the past few days were instructed that they could opt to pick up orders from stores like Whole Foods, Amazon Fresh, or Kohl's, Reuters reported.
