From Sept. 15 through Oct. 7, eligible Prime members who buy a new car through Amazon Autos will get a $1,500 Amazon.com gift card.

We've officially reached the point where you can buy literally anything on Amazon, including a whole ass car.

Personally, I'd never buy a vehicle online like this. The anxiety of checking out an SUV next to paper towels is just too much for me to process. But Amazon's trying to normalize it ahead of Prime Big Deal Days (the fall version of Prime Day and the precursor to Black Friday), and they're using digital cash to do it.

From Sept. 15 through Oct. 7, eligible Prime members who buy a new car through Amazon Autos will get a $1,500 Amazon.com gift card. If you're somehow brave enough to buy a car on the internet, that's a pretty good chunk of change to blow when the October deal event kicks off.

Wait, what's Amazon Autos?

In case you haven't stumbled across it yet, Amazon Autos is the retailer's online car shopping marketplace. It lets you browse cars, trucks, SUVs, hybrids, and EVs, compare features, and set up your financing or lease terms directly on the site.

Amazon then connects you with a local participating dealership to handle the test drive, sign the final paperwork, and get the keys.

You don't need a special code or anything like that; Amazon will auto-apply the promotion to qualifying purchases at checkout.

The offer is available nationwide, but you'll need to be a Prime member purchasing a new vehicle. Once you pick up your new ride, Amazon will email you the gift card redemption code within two weeks, which you can add to your Amazon account and use for anything else you need. (Might I recommend some Chemical Guys supplies? It's what I use to clean my truck.)

The gift card doesn't expire and has no limitations once redeemed, so you could easily save it for December holiday gifts or a spring clean haul next year.
