I've said it before and I'll say it again: Amazon does NOT permit its affiliates to give rewards or cash back to customers who click through their (the affiliates') links to reach the Amazon site.
This can be verified by looking at Amazon's agreement with its associates, which is publicly accessible here:
https://affiliate-program.amazon.com...ates/agreement
Specifically, under item 4, Referral Fees, see the following at the beginning of the 5th paragraph:
In addition, you may not: (a) directly or indirectly offer any person or entity any consideration or incentive (including, without limitation, payment of money (including any rebate), or granting of any discount or other benefit) for using Special Links on your site to access the Amazon Site (e.g., by implementing any "rewards" program for persons or entities who use Special Links on your site to access the Amazon Site)....
Since one can't (according to Amazon's legal agreement with affiliates) get any rebates/cashback/miles/points, I instead continue to support a charitable organization (KCSM, a public radio/TV station) by clicking through the Amazon link on their website. KCSM gets about 8% of everything I purchase. I recommend that you find a charity you want to support that has an Amazon link on its website!
I'm sure there will be doubters (to put it kindly) who will disbelieve me and argue with me
, but it is what it is.
