It doesn’t matter how much you earn in credit card rewards if you can’t use those rewards in ways that matter to you. Luckily, with rewards credit cards like the Discover it® Cash Back Credit Card or the Discover it® Miles Credit Card, you can redeem your rewards for cash at any time1. And you can even use any amount of rewards to help pay for your next Amazon.com purchase2.

If you’re like a lot of people, you turn to Amazon.com to order things you need (or things you want!). It’s become an easy and convenient way to shop, and it can even save you money. Plus, when you link your Discover Card to your Amazon.com account, you can start paying for your Amazon.com purchases with your card—OR by redeeming your rewards.

Did you know?

Once you link your Discover Card with your Amazon.com account, you can begin redeeming your rewards at Amazon.com checkout. Just add items to your shopping cart and proceed to the regular checkout process. You will see rewards available for use next to your Discover Card.

But how does it work? No matter how much you’ve earned, you can apply some or all of your Discover it® Cash Back Card Cashback Bonus® or your Discover it® Miles Card rewards to the total amount you will pay at Amazon.com checkout. And using your credit card rewards feels like saving money, because you’re paying for the items you want with the rewards you’ve already earned.

Ready to get started? To use your Discover it® Cash Back Card’s Cashback Bonus® or your Discover it® Miles rewards to shop at Amazon.com, you simply link your Cash Back Card or your Miles Card to your Amazon.com account. Once you do that, you can redeem any amount of your earned rewards balance when it’s time to pay for your purchases at Amazon.com checkout. It’s one of the great ways a credit card with rewards can bring more value to your shopping.
