Have you heard about Amazon’s new program called Kindle Rewards?
Kindle Rewards is a pretty straightforward rewards system where you earn points for purchases – similar to how a Starbucks or ice cream shop rewards program works.
It’s currently in Beta so you may not be seeing it yet, but if you DO have it, it’ll look like this when you look at a book on Amazon.
You might be wondering what you can use Kindle points for – it’s pretty simple! You earn 5 points per dollar you spend on Kindle books and 2 points per dollar that you spend on print books (you’ll see the 29 points above under the Hardcover option of the book).
There’s also the option to complete bonus offers (you can click here to see if you’re being offered any bonuses) and earn more Kindle rewards points. So far, I haven’t seen any bonuses, but I’m keeping an eye on it!
And then, you get $3 for every 300 points you earn. You’ll redeem those Kindle Rewards points for a Kindle book voucher and then you can use them to buy . . . you guessed it. More Kindle books!!
If you’re much of an ebook reader at all, Kindle Rewards is a terrific program – since it lets you rack up points for the purchases you’re already making.
It’s free and you don’t need to do anything to sign up. If Kindle Rewards HASN’T been rolled out to you, there’s not a lot you can do to hurry it along (and since it’s a Beta program, there is always the possibility that Amazon will cut it entirely and not keep it going long term) although you can sign up for the email list here and they’ll alert you to changes in the program.
If you’ve started using Kindle Rewards or are seeing it in your account already, I’d love to hear what you think about it! And if you have any questions about how Kindle Rewards works, I’m happy to help! Let me know in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer.
