You can buy just about anything on Amazon, including gift cards to other sites.

This is very helpful if you’re trying to max out the $1,500 category bonus on the Chase Freedom for shopping at Amazon this quarter.  You get 5X points for up to $1,500 in purchases or 7,500 Ultimate Rewards Points or $75 in cash back for using your Chase Freedom at Amazon this quarter.

It is also useful if you registered your American Express cards to get $25 back when you spend $75 or more at Amazon.

It can be difficult to spend $1,500 in a quarter at Amazon.  But you can buy an electronic or physical gift card for any amount from Amazon.

Chase Freedom Amazon
Buy Amazon Gift Cards & add Them to Your Amazon Account!

You can then add the gift card balance to your Amazon account and use it whenever you want because the balance in your Amazon account never expires.

Note that you CANNOT use your gift card balance to buy more Amazon gift cards to OTHER gift cards.  So you’re out of luck if you later decide that you want to use your Amazon gift card balance to buy a gift card to, say, Applebees’s.

Amazon sells Gift Cards to Other Stores!

Buying gift cards to other stores from Amazon is an easy way to maximize the Chase Freedom 4th quarter bonus.  You can give these as gifts or keep them for yourself.  And you don’t pay shipping when you order them on Amazon.

You can also buy other gift cards from Amazon to get $25 back when you spend $75 with your registered American Express card!

Note that you may be able to buy gift cards to stores for less by visiting sites which trade gift cards such as Gift Card Granny.

Here’s a link to a complete list of all gift cards sold on Amazon.

A.  Applebees

Bottom Line

You can buy gift cards for lots of restaurants, department stores, and other businesses on Amazon.

You can use this to get 5X points on your Chase Freedom because Amazon is included in the 5X category bonus until December 31, 2013.  But don’t forget that you may be able to buy gift cards to stores for less by visiting sites which trade gift cards such as Gift Card Granny.

This could also be a good way to make use of the $25 statement credit for spending $75 or more on Amazon with your registered American Express card!
