I recently discovered this (pun intended 
). You can use points/cash back/etc to deduct from Amazon purchases. In comparison to my Quicksilver, I'm not a fan of Discover's redemption policy. For me, this Amazon thing solves that problem since I shop there often. And it looks like it has every major CC.
I'm sure a lot of people already knew about it but hopefully this finds someone who was not aware.
Cheers.

not aware. plz explain. thx
More information here. You have to link the card you want to use as a payment option, then register it for Shop with Points (all in "Your account," beneath "payment methods"). It allows you to redeem points as a deduction to your cart total when checking out. Since it has no minimum (for Discover, at least), it's a really good option for using your rewards before the card's minimum redemption policy.

I've tried before but couldn't find the option, maybe I overlooked it.
"Please note, however, that rewards points cannot be used for all purchases on Amazon.com, and items that currently may not be purchased using Shop with Points include some digital goods, Kindle downloads, Subscribe and Save items, AmazonFresh, or orders containing Pre-order items."
I don't know if movie rentals are considered one of those; never rented from Amazon before.
