I noticed this offer in my Amazon splash screen today. Apparently Amazon Cash has been around since March, but I hadn't heard about it until I saw this. Basically it's a way you can send a bar code to your phone (or print it on paper if you are truly old school) and then go in to a number of stores and add money to your Amazon account by giving the store some cash and having them scan the bar code.
And there is an offer right now that if you add $50 to your Amazon Cash account by May 31 (yeah, I know, really soon), you get a $10 digital credit to spend by June 30. I'm not positive that the offer is available to everyone, but it seems to imply that. Although I don't recognize all of the stores, so some might be Canadian, I suspect this is US only.
Here are the details, copied from the splash screen:

I haven't tried the offer yet, but plan to do so tomorrow. I did sign up for the bar code, and found that I had to update the Amazon Shopping app on my phone for it to work.
Anyway, YMMV, but if it works, it's a nice little bonus...
