Kindle fans should verify their Kindle Rewards balance immediately. They may have some complimentary funds available for a new title on their 2025 reading agenda or for enhancements to their Kindle setup.
Amazon incentivizes Kindle users for their reading, which is the primary reason they purchased a Kindle. The Kindle Rewards points system awards three points for every dollar spent on Kindle books and one point for each dollar spent on print books (with the exception of textbooks, magazines, newspapers, audiobooks, and digital subscriptions). For every 300 points accumulated, you receive $3 in Kindle book credits.
Although 300 points may appear to be a significant amount, most Kindle book transactions typically yield 40 to 50 points. Print books can provide 20 to 30 points, along with the addition of a new coffee table book. The 300-point threshold can be achieved every six or seven books, depending on your reading speed.
Kindles are our preferred e-readers because of their excellent design and processing capabilities. Unlike other e-readers that experience delays when flipping pages or downloading content, Kindles execute tasks swiftly. Moreover, you can save money while shopping in the Kindle store.
If you’re a frequent shopper at the Kindle Store, you’re probably accruing points. Here’s what you need to understand about Amazon’s Kindle Rewards program and how to make the most of it.
Kindle Rewards does not require any registration and does not even necessitate a Kindle. You can read books purchased from Amazon on your mobile device or tablet using the Kindle app. All Amazon users qualify, regardless of Kindle Unlimited subscription status. Purchasing your first Kindle Book or qualifying print book initiates the points-earning process. If you have previously shopped at the Kindle Store, you have likely begun to earn points.
Your Kindle Rewards points can be located on the rewards page within the Kindle Store, both on the website and in the app. As of May 2025, Amazon permits purchases within the Kindle app.
To view the potential points for a book, examine its Amazon listing. As long as you are logged into your Amazon account, Kindle Rewards points should be displayed alongside book prices.
Once you accumulate 300 points, your $3 reward is available for use. Rewards can only be applied to purchases in the Kindle store, not other Amazon transactions. Look for a Kindle Rewards button next to the Buy Now with 1-Click button and ensure the box is ticked to receive $3 off your order.
Points must be redeemed within three months of being earned, a modification implemented in June 2023.
To optimize the Kindle Rewards program, pay attention to double reward days. These events span 48 hours, doubling your reward earnings. There are also occasional triple points days.
