Amazon Hides Surprising FSA-Eligible Deals Ahead of Prime Big Deal Days
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale is around the corner on October 6-7, and the e-commerce giant has already started offering early deals. But did you know that some of these deals are eligible for pre-tax dollars using a Flexible Spending Account (FSA)?
According to Rachel Rouleau, chief compliance officer at Health E-Commerce, an FSA is a tax-advantaged spending account that allows employees to set aside money from their pay before taxes to spend on qualified medical expenses. If the expense qualifies, they can use an FSA debit card or be reimbursed after submitting a claim.
Amazon has made it easier for customers to apply FSA savings by offering eligible products in its FSA Store section and allowing users to add their FSA card as a payment method. No coupon code is needed; instead, the FSA funds will cover the eligible expenses. It's essential to check with your FSA provider if you're unsure about an item's eligibility.
Auxoliev Red Light LED Facial Mask and CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser are some of the hidden gems available for early Prime Day deals, alongside more common items like bandages and allergy relief. These products can be hundreds of dollars cheaper at Sephora or other stores without the FSA benefits.
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale is exclusively available to Prime members, but interested shoppers can grab a 30-day free trial to access exclusive deals and fast shipping.
