Kindle Rewards/Kindle Points

There are so many Kindle Rewards special days (such as double points days) that maybe we need a thread to keep track of them.

Here's the first one.:
Earn 2x Kindle Points on books you purchase between 12:00 AM and 11:59 PM PST on Feb 7, 2023

I currently have 993 Kindle points saved up.

I found out that if I build up a lot of points and cash them all in, I can use the combined credits on a more pricy book. For example, I used credits to bring down the price of a textbook about Victorian sensation fiction.


But... points do expire one month after they are earned.

I thought it was just points that had been “converted” into a reward that expired in a month. Otherwise, you can let points ride for up to six months before they expire.

OK, I just checked and this is accurate. So you’re much better off not claiming a reward until you’re ready to spend.

You are smarter than me, playing the long game. I buy too many books set at $2-4. So I always have something ready to use my credits on.

I also use Microsoft's Bing for search because Google doesn't need to know every single thing about me. Bing gives you points for searching and every 5,200 points I can get a $5 Amazon gift card. It takes me about three weeks to accumulate that amount of points.

If you've still got that option, don't change it to anything else. I've earned my share of the $5 gift cards from Bing over time, but when I changed it to something different, the $5 gift card option was removed, and I now work toward the $10 Amazon gift card option as it was the only Amazon one left.

I see that now they have a sweepstakes for a $5,000 Amazon card option. I figure if I pick that that one, for some laughs, the $10 Amazon gift card won't be an option anymore.

I really missed it when they stopped allowing family and friends to 'gift' bing points to each other.

You should be able to select the $10 Amazon Gift Card option, then choose a $5 denomination from the drop-down menu.

"Kindle Points must be redeemed for promotional Kindle book credit (“Credit”) within 6 months of the date of issuance, or before 11:59 PM PT on the date the Beta ends, whichever is earlier. Any Kindle Points not redeemed for Credit before this time will expire."


Presumably, there would be adequate notification!

I'm with you - I have no problem using the credits, and have no reason to wait to redeem them!

But I do find it annoying that when I have available credit, Amazon likes to subtract my credit from the price of the book(s) I'm looking at, and pretend/display that the book is at that lower "price", and not its real, pre-credit price. Not that I don't understand why they do it, maybe they'll suck me into buying a more expensive book than I wanted, but it's just so transparently disingenuous that it's kind of offensive. But then many things about Amazon are offensive ...

Thanks! Took a bit, but found the right button! I had enough for a $5 credit already.

They only gave a little over a month's notice that they were ending Amazon Smile, something that was much more impactful than Kindle Points, so... don't count on it.

Today (2/15/23) is double points. I'm glad you folks pointed out that I can save up points to save more on a single book as none of the early Simon Scarrow Eagles books are ever less than about $10 per book. I can wait on these as I completed purchasing a 35 book series for my Mom to read.
