Certain American Express cards now come with 1 year of Amazon Prime.
I’ve written about the American Express EveryDay and EveryDay Preferred cards and why they are the among the best cards for regular spending. That’s because you can get 20% to 50% bonus American Express Membership Rewards points every month!
You can transfer those points to certain airlines and hotels.

Get 5% Cash Back or 5X Chase Ultimate Rewards Points

The Chase Freedom is 1 of my favorite no annual fee cards. And when you use your Chase Freedom card to buy $45 in Amazon gift cards you’ll earn 5X Chase Ultimate Rewards points or 225 Chase Ultimate Rewards points ($45 x 5 Chase Ultimate Rewards points). That’s because Amazon is a 5X bonus category this quarter IF you’ve activated your Chase Freedom 5X category bonus.
Emily and I transfer our Chase Ultimate Rewards points to the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Ink Bold or Chase Ink Plus. Then we can transfer those points to airlines and hotels like United and Hyatt.

You can get 5X Chase Ultimate Rewards points when you use your Chase Freedom card on Amazon this quarter. And you’ll earn 5% cash back on all online purchases with your Discover card.
Are you choosing 5X Chase Ultimate Rewards points or 5% cash back?
Nevermind. I checked the link again and found out I was to have gotten an email…and I did but it went in my spam folder!
I bought the cards, but how / where do I find the $10 Amazon credit? Nothing came in the package with the gift cards.
This is going to sound dumb, but I’m looking for a pre-paid card to be used by my niece on her trip for a college visit. I want to give her a card she can use for one night stay at a hotel and gas along the way. Do Amazon gift cards only work for things bought on Amazon? That’s what I’m thinking –
Thanks in advance for any help on this!
@Sharon – I believe you still should be fine. Amazon shouldn’t know if GCs from office supply stores were purchased by you or as a gift for you.
I have never bought Amazon gift cards DIRECTLY FROM AMAZON. However, I have bought Amazon Gift Cards at office supply stores. Do you know if that disqualifies me?
