Miles for Gift Card question

I am a member in numerous programs and some times want to use my miles for gift cards. With some programs like capital one you can get gift cards at a 1:1 which is better then using purchase erasers etc.
The issue I always have is I want the cards immediately for a purchase and it takes weeks to get them in the mail. Places like amazon offer email gift cards that are instant. Is there any program that offers the email versions of gift cards instead of a physical card in the mail?

Sorry if there is a better place for this post, but didn't see anything obvious

American Express Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards and Citi ThankYou Rewards all offer instant redemption for Amazon purchases. I believe Chase is the only one to offer 100 = $1.00 value, the others are worse.

thanks I didn't realize you can do 1:1 with chase. I wish they would allow buying digital gift cards with the points programs. Seems it would be better for everyone since its less work.
