Perhaps you’ve heard of this: something called Amazon Prime Day — an extensive online shopping sale — taking place today and tomorrow.

Merchants such as grocery stores, office supply stores, and drugstores often sell Amazon gift cards. Those spots are all featured bonus categories across a range of travel rewards or cash back rewards credit cards.
For example, the card_name earns 5% cash back (as 5X Chase Ultimate Rewards®) on the first $25,000 spent in combined purchases each account anniversary year at office supply stores and on internet, cable, and phone services.
You could, for example, pop into your neighborhood Staples or Office Depot and buy a $100 Amazon gift card. You’ll earn 500 Ultimate Rewards points when paying with your card_name. That’s worth at least $5. (Or potentially more if you have certain other Chase Ultimate Rewards cards.)
And that’s before you earn any applicable loyalty points at those stores (i.e., Office Depot Office Max Rewards, Kroger Fuel Points, etc.)
So, let’s see how you can earn between 3%-6% in rewards from buying Amazon gift cards — and make Prime Day even more rewarding!
6% Cash Back
The card_name earns 6% cash back at U.S. supermarkets on up to $6,000 per year in purchases. After that, it’s 1%. Cash back is earned in the form of Reward Dollars, which are redeemable toward statement credit. (card_name)
5% Cash Back / 5X Points
As we mentioned above, the no-annual-fee card_name earns 5% cash back on the first $25,000 spent in combined purchases each account anniversary year at office supply stores and on internet, cable, and phone services.
The rewards are earned as Chase Ultimate Rewards®, which you can apply toward travel, transfer to a Chase travel partner, convert toward statement credit, or redeem myriad other ways.
4X Points
You can earn 4X American Express® Membership Rewards® points at U.S. supermarkets on up to $25,000 per calendar year in purchases on your card_name. (After that, it’s 1X. card_name)
3X Points / 3% Cash Back
These no-annual-fee cards offer 3% or 3X points for purchases where you might find Amazon gift cards. We’ll list them alphabetically.
You don’t even have to leave the house if you hold a card_name. Why? That earns 3% cash back at U.S. online retailers on up to $6,000 per year in purchases! (Then 1%.) It also brings in 3% cash back at U.S. supermarkets on up to $6,000 per year in purchases. After that, it’s 1%. Cash back is earned as Reward Dollars redeemable toward statement credit. (card_name)
Another fantastic bonus to the Savor (and some other Cap One) cards: earn unlimited 10% cash back on purchases made through Uber & Uber Eats, plus complimentary Uber One membership statement credits through November 14, 2024.
Finally, both the card_name and Chase Freedom Flex℠ earn 3% cash back (3X Ultimate Rewards) at drugstores. (Information about the Chase Freedom Flex was collected independently by Eye of the Flyer.)
Final Approach
Amazon Prime Day can be a great way to save money on items you need. But why not reap more rewards for buying Amazon gift cards? Earn credit card points or cash back at places such as supermarkets, grocery stores, office supply stores, and drugstores. Remember to sign up for those merchants’ loyalty programs, too!
