10% Amazon Gift Card bonus with Turbo Tax

If you shop at Amazon often, and you are expecting a tax refund this year, Amazon and Turbo Tax have a new promotion for this tax year that might be of interest. If you purchase one of the eligible Turbo Tax products, and file your taxes, you can apply some (or all) of your Federal Refund towards the purchase of Amazon Gift Cards and get a 5% to 10% bonus on the Amazon gift cards. So you can convert a $100 refund into a $110 Amazon Gift card. The offer applies to amounts in multiples of $100 (eg $100, $200, $300, $400, etc).

10% is for the Turbo Tax Deluxe or Premiere or Home & Business products. 5% is for Basic. Turbo Tax Business is not eligible. See more details on the promotion.

In addition to the above, they offer some product discounts that include Kingston memory products and Corel software products (and other non-camera related items). See more details.

NOTE: based on the customer reviews over there, it looks like Turbo Tax features have been downgraded in some versions this year, so check the specs and reviews for more details if you are not familiar with the 2014 Turbo Tax line-up. They are getting hammered in the customer reviews over this.
