To specify, by “FREE” I mean the absence of actual $ since you will be purchasing them with your Amazon No-Rush Rewards. You actually can use these rewards for videos and other content, but I’m a voracious reader so this is my preference.

So how do you earn “No Rush” rewards? As the name implies, it requires delayed gratification (combo of discipline & foresight). The unintended benefit is the more you practice & exercise delayed gratification, discipline & foresight, the more it permeates your decision making.

Earning No Rush Rewards simply requires that when you order from Amazon, you delay. I have some items I am purchasing and while tempting to receive it tomorrow, if I wait until Dec 4, I will earn a $4 credit.

You can always experiment with changing the delivery day to earn credit & receive the items sooner. Also, if you have more than 4 items, you can maximize the rewards sometimes by making 2 orders, instead of 1. For me it isn’t worth being this nuanced $4 for your time.

Lastly, Sunday morning is the only time I begin my day online. Why? Amazon’s best Kindle sales (excluding holidays) are Sunday. I maximize my credits using the “shop deals by department” and then check the 3 categories of Kindle deals.

I hope you found this post helpful. Happy reading!
