Is there any way to earn Amazon rewards?

None of the malls I'm familiar with have links to Amazon for earning (not using) rewards. Is anyone aware of any?

IIRC, Ebates and some programs offer cash for shopping at Amazon in "selected" categories, but it doesn't include books, DVDs, CDs, etc.

Thanks, though I was hoping for something more straightforward and consistent. Odd that Amazon doesn't allow that.

Looking around, I did find an SPCA to make my Amazon purchases through so at least our furry friends benefit:

If anyone has other worthwhile charities, I'd love to see those as well.

swagbucks gives you 3 sb per dollar at amazon, which works out to about 3%.

Isn't that just for selected categories?

Per the SB website, it's only 3 categories:
  • Automotive
  • The Amazon Shoe Store
  • Amazon Local

I used to earn 1 mile/$1 on Hawaiian Air on almost everything. Now only select categories qualify:

The select categories change up every season I think.

Amazon is being very protective of offering any type of rewards ( they do have a good affiliate program that offer a good commission, yet a lot of restriction for sites with points, reward, cash back ).

I guess fatwallet offer good rates around the holiday
