Is It Possible To Get an Amazon Points Refund?

The feeling when you watch your order total being reduced before checkout is priceless.

Amazon's Shop with Points program lets you experience precisely this when you sign up for one of their reward programs.

There are several reward programs, but they all work pretty much the same:

• You earn points by shopping
• You apply those points to new purchases and use them to pay for the item in total or partially (the other part is covered by a credit card)
• You can redeem points for cash back, gift cards, and other perks

The problem with Amazon is that you can easily get yourself in a shopping conundrum. It's easy to make careless purchases when you are paying with anything that isn't actual money.

Does Amazon Refund Reward Points?

Yes, granted that you applied Amazon points to a purchase and then canceled it, you can get those points back. As part of Amazon's Shop with Points program, points are refundable, and Amazon treats them like any other payment method.

This means that the Amazon refund policy also applies to purchases made with reward points. Since points are useless for most digital content, focus on the Amazon refund rules for regular purchases and the Amazon Prime subscription refund.

Here are some highlights that can help you figure out if you are eligible for a refund:

• Items purchased from Amazon are refundable. If you bought something from another merchant, you have to request a refund from them
• You have to return most items to get a refund, but there are some cases where you can get an Amazon refund without a return
• You can get a full refund if you cancel your Prime membership within three business days from signing up or switching from an Amazon Prime free trial to a paid subscription
• There are no refunds available if you cancel your Amazon Prime free trial because you won't be charged anything during the trial
• You can also get your monthly subscription back for Premium if you haven't used the benefits during the subscription term

Methods To Get an Amazon Reward Points Refund

There are several ways to get reward points back from Amazon, and they depend on what you purchased with them.

If the company approves your refund request, the points will be delivered back to your account automatically, and you can use them again.

If you use the points to partially pay for an item, then the points will be returned to your account, and the rest will be issued to your credit card.
