I'm just hoping for the occasional deal on Amazon where I can use $0.01 worth of U.S. Bank rewards to get $40 off the way they do with the other points currencies!

Same, the only reason why this could be interesting.

US Bank has been sending email about this "great new benefit", paying with points at Amazon.  Usually I am very skeptical about this, as some cards pay less than 1cpp when used on Amazon.   However, linking my Cash +, just to see, it is actually a slight benefit in that is bypasses the $25 redemption minimum (like Real Time Rewards does as well) while giving 1cpp.

Probably well known, but hey, I just learned it!

For cashback cards, it is never good to redeem points to pay Amazon etc.  Same with Discover cashback.

When you redeem points to cash, you can use cash again to earn points or rewards.  But you do not earn more if you redeem at checkout.

Cash is the king.  Always.

It's not just US Bank, Amazon is allowing the "Shop With Points" program through many credit card companies, including AMEX, Discover, Cap One, Citi & Chase to name some. It's utilizing the rewards programs of each card to pay, so point conversions will vary.

Yes, I know, but I think it is new to US Bank.  The others have been around a while.
