Learn About Kindle Rewards

Kindle Rewards is a free program available for U.S. customers.

With Kindle Rewards, customers in the U.S. can earn Kindle Points when buying books or completing bonus offers. As a U.S. customer, you can then redeem your points for Kindle book savings. Kindle Rewards is a free program and you don't need a Kindle Unlimited subscription to participate.

Earning Kindle Points:

  • You earn three points per dollar spent on Kindle books purchased on Amazon.com.
  • You earn one point per dollar spent on print books (excluding textbooks) purchased on Amazon.com.
  • When you buy an eligible Kindle book, your points appear as "pending" in your account. Pending points are Kindle Points you've earned but they aren't available to use just yet. Most pending points become available to use within a few hours, but it may take up to 48 hours or more.

Using your Kindle Points:

  • Once you earn 300 Kindle Points, you can redeem your points on an eligible Kindle book's detail page on the Amazon.com website.
  • You can redeem up to 300 points on the Amazon.com website during checkout. Please note, you do need to use USD (US $) to spend your Kindle Points. Points can only be redeemed when paying in USD (they cannot be used when using Amazon Currency Converter). To redeem points during checkout:
    1. Search for the Kindle Rewards icon near the Buy Now with 1-Click button.
    2. Select the checkbox to apply points to save on your Kindle book order.
