5:15 p.m. | Updated To note that Discover cardholders automatically earn as much as 1 percent cash back because some cardholders earn less than 1 percent.
Discover cardholders can now use their cash back bonus points to pay directly for purchases on Amazon.com.
As an added incentive for Discover users to shop on Amazon, they can now automatically earn double cash rewards on items bought on Amazon through the end of the year. (Discover cardholders earn up to 1 percent cash back automatically; they can earn 2 percent, on up to $250 in purchases, under the promotion.)
To pay with points, a cardholder links a Discover card to an Amazon account. Then, at checkout, the cardholder can select the option to pay with a cash back bonus. Cardholders can use all or part of their available bonuses to pay for purchases, and have any remaining balances charged to their Discover cards.
Each dollar in cash back bonus is worth a dollar in spending on Amazon.
Some other cards also allow users to pay directly with rewards points on Amazon, including American Express, through its Membership Rewards program, and the Amazon.com Rewards Visa card.
Is the rewards program enough to entice you to do more shopping at Amazon? Why or why not?
