Do you have Amazon No-Rush Rewards in your account? If so, you may want to use them soon as it appears that Amazon has made a few changes to their terms & conditions.

Wait… what are No-Rush Rewards?

With FREE No-Rush Shipping, Amazon Prime Members can either earn rewards on future purchases or receive discounts immediately, simply by agreeing to receive your order within six business days. You can use your FREE No-Rush rewards toward purchasing a variety of things (see below).

What can I use my Rewards on?

Depending on the offer, rewards can be used to buy Kindle eBooks, movies on Prime Video, groceries & daily essentials on Prime Pantry, as well as Digital Music, and even Appstore apps!

According to the old terms, you could apply your credits toward select gift cards and other items (excluding software subscriptions). However, now rewards may not be used for the purchase of software subscriptions, gift cards, digital video games, OR memberships. View the updated Terms & Conditions.

When do my Rewards expire?

The original email that includes information on how to redeem your rewards will also include information on when your rewards expire. You may also get an email notification prior to your reward’s expiration date depending on the type of offers associated with the reward.

Thank you for posting this. Just cashed out my remaining credits toward an Nintendo eshop card. This was the only reason I kept my prime membership as long as I did. When it expires in October I will not be renewing it.

You should absolutely be proud you qualified for EBT. It is extremely difficult to sign up and they have very severe guidelines you have to follow. I had it for 6 months and I was happiest getting a cart full of food between my snap funds and hip2save coupon deals. I had bus pass, gas and electric, medical insurance, cell phone, all which helped me find my next job. Here you go and good luck 🙂 🍀

I understand you needing help as anyone might as sometime in their life, but I wouldn’t say you should be proud of it.

Maybe the better phrase is no one should feel ashamed?

I don’t know why you feel the need to onlinement when Gary already said he wasn’t proud of it?

Absolutely agreed. That was really not necessary.

Ann July 24, 2018 at 11:34 pm MST

I wasn’t talking about him, I was talking to the lady that onlinemented on his onlinement saying how he should be proud? She clearly is getting a ton from taxpayers and it gets to a point where you’re just tired of paying such ridiculous taxes so she can have all that. So you just didn’t read it right.

You should work on your own reading onlineprehension skills before onlinementing next time. This person clearly said that they only received assistance for 6 months and having that stability helped them to survive until they could find their next job. That is nothing at all to be ashamed of. People are entitled to receiving benefits while disabled/unemployed in this country whether you like it or not. But since it could easily be you tomorrow, maybe try being less arrogant and more judgmental about it.

I never can find where to check if I have a balance on no rush rewards. Can anyone remind me how?

Click on my account, under More Ways to Pay, click on no rush rewards. It will show each reward with exp date. You can also see the coupons attached to your account in that same section.

I am so mad, I didn’t even know you could use the credits for gift cards and now it’s going away! I am so bummed! I still love prime and will pay the new charge. They are always adding new benefits so it’s still worth it to me. I know people that pay that much for other memberships so it’s personal preference.

Christine July 24, 2018 at 6:15 pm MST

We use our no rush rewards to but the latest episodes of the walking dead on prime to stay up to date (no cable)

Jamie Campbell July 24, 2018 at 7:17 pm MST

Bummer…..it’s already not letting me use 16 of my credits towards gift cards. I didn’t realize they were changing the terms and conditions. 🙁 Guess I need to find a new way to use the credits, or get my stuff in 2 days again.

Every time I go to use my no rush rewards, they’ve disappeared. I guess they expire faster than I realize. I decided to give up since I’ve selected no rush many times over the last couple years and have never once benefitted from the rewards, so I’m going to just stop bothering and get my stuff in the 2 days.

Amy July 24, 2018 at 8:48 pm MST

I’ve known mine to disappear without reason. Customer service will say they expired, even when I knew I just earned them about a week ago! So, periodically, I screenshot my slow ship credits, with the expiration date visible.

I have a lot of No Rush Prime Now rewards. Does anyone know what these can be used for if Prime Now is not in your area?

Reply
Stacy July 25, 2018 at 9:19 am MST

Shhhhhhhhh. 🤫 Sometimes it’s better to think things and not say them Ann. It’s clearly a sensitive topic so no need to clarify that she should or shouldn’t be proud of it, as I am sure she has enough worry in her life without your advice on not being proud of having it. Please just filter that in your head and don’t share it next time. Please.

I haven’t seen anything more than the $5 prime offer in months (which I will never use). We loved using the no rush rewards to buy episodes of Good Eats and Mythbusters for my daughter. Considering the times I actually need the two day shipping the items are late I’m pretty sure I’ll be canceling at the end of this run.

Actually they stopped mine back in June. I qualified for 9 xbox gift cards in the last year ranging from $10-$15 each.
