When you need to order something and get it delivered in a hurry, where do you turn? Amazon, of course! But what about those items you don’t need right away? Once again, Amazon is your best friend. It’s all thanks to a special promotion called Amazon No-Rush Shipping.
If you don’t need your order to show up at your door right away, you can select this shipping option. When you do, you’ll get a discount or a reward (also known as a credit) that can help you save at Amazon.
This shipping method lets Amazon prioritize the orders that need to go out the fastest while rewarding customers who are willing to wait a bit longer to get their items. Keep reading to learn more about this win/win arrangement and how you can get a No-Rush Amazon credit.
How Can I Earn a No-Rush Amazon Credit or Discount?
Amazon makes it easy to earn a No-Rush Shipping reward or discount. All you have to do is select FREE No-Rush Shipping when you are checking out on Amazon (see image above).
After selecting Amazon No-Rush Shipping, you’ll notice one of two things happen:
- You’ll immediately get a discount on your current order.
- You’ll receive a reward once your order ships. You can use this reward to save on a future Amazon order.
Keep in mind you cannot receive a discount and a reward on the same order. This might make you wonder what happens if your order contains some items that are eligible for an instant discount and some products that come with a reward. In this situation, you’ll receive an instant discount on your current Amazon order.
How Can I Check My Current Amazon No-Rush Shipping Rewards in My Account?
An Amazon No-Rush discount is immediately applied to your order. You can think of it as a promo code or a coupon. However, a No-Rush Amazon credit is something that you can use on future purchases. This brings us to another important topic: how to check your Amazon No-Rush Shipping rewards.
You can check your Amazon No-Rush Shipping rewards in two easy steps:
- Log in to your Amazon account as you normally would.
- Go to https://www.amazon.com/norushcredits.
Once you’re on this page, you can see whether you have any rewards. If you do, Amazon lists the value of your rewards next to “Total Rewards.”
You may notice that you have “Pending Rewards” and wonder what that means. There’s no need to worry. These rewards will become available once your order ships.
What Can I Use My Amazon No-Rush Credit On?
Now, we get to the fun part. It’s time to spend those rewards. This might leave you asking, “What can I spend my Amazon No-Rush credit on?”
You can’t use your No-Rush Amazon reward on anything you’d like. Instead, you can apply it only to the types of items that are listed in the offer when you’re checking out. Often, you can use these rewards on select digital products. Here are some examples:
- Instant video downloads
- eBook
- Digital Music
- Amazon Appstore apps
In addition to making sure you spend your No-Rush Amazon credit on the right items, you’ll also want to ensure you spend them at the right time.
All rewards have an expiration date, which you can see on your No-Rush Rewards Summary page. In some cases, you may also receive an email reminding you of your reward’s expiration date.
Now that you know the ins and outs of No-Rush Amazon credits and discounts, you’re ready to save on your next Amazon order. And while you’re at it, why not check out other great offerings like the Amazon Trade-In Program?
