Points Earned With Chase’s Amazon.com Visa® Card Redeem at 100 Points to a Dollar on Shop with Points

WILMINGTON, Del. - Today, Chase Card Services, a division of JPMorgan Chase & Co. [NYSE: JPM], and Amazon.com, Inc. [NASDAQ: AMZN] launched a feature on the Amazon.com Rewards Visa® Card that provides cardmembers the opportunity to use rewards points to pay on Amazon.com. Cardmembers may now use Amazon Shop with Points to redeem rewards points at checkout. Each point cardmembers earn can be redeemed for one cent, meaning 100 points can be redeemed for one dollar.

Amazon.com cardmembers have enjoyed combining a great rewards program with the convenience, selection, and value of Amazon,” said Chris Conrad, general manager at Chase Card Services. “This new feature delivers terrific value with fast and easy access to rewards points instantly redeemable for millions of items on Amazon.com.”

The Amazon.com Rewards Card from Chase offers an exceptional value on Amazon.com and has no annual fee. Cardmembers can earn points for everyday purchases made with the Card, including:

Three points for every $1 spent on Amazon.com purchases.
Two points for every eligible $1 spent on gas, restaurants, drug stores and office supply stores.
One point for every $1 spent everywhere else.

Three points for every $1 spent on Amazon.com purchases means cardmembers earn and redeem points quickly. For example, cardmembers who spend $1,500 on Amazon.com using the Card earn 4,500 points, which can be used towards $45 in purchases. As a result, after their next billing statement, cardmembers can use Shop with Points to instantly redeem that $45 towards items they purchase at checkout. It’s 3 percent in cash back.

With the new Amazon Shop with Points feature, cardmembers may also combine any amount of points with their Amazon.com Visa card, Amazon.com Gift Cards, or Amazon Payments account balance to pay for their purchases - as many or as few as they want. There is no minimum and no specified amount of points to use.

“Amazon Shop with Points is a great enhancement to the Amazon.com Rewards Visa Card,” said Matt Swann, vice president of Global Payments, Amazon.com. “Amazon’s broad selection of low priced products and the convenience of paying with Amazon Reward points provide our cardmembers with an exceptional shopping experience.”

There is no expiration date on points and no cap on the number of points earned.
