Amazon Flex Rewards Program Terms and Conditions

Participation in the Amazon Flex Rewards Program (the “Rewards Program”) is subject to these terms and conditions (these “Rewards Terms”) and the terms and conditions in your Amazon Flex Independent Contractor Terms of Service (the “Flex Terms”), which are incorporated herein (collectively, the “Rewards Program Terms”).

‍Please read these Rewards Terms carefully. By accessing or participating in the Rewards Program, you agree to be bound by the terms of the Rewards Program and all terms incorporated herein by reference, including terms regarding dispute resolution and a class action waiver. If you do not agree to the Rewards Program Terms, do not access or participate in the Rewards Program.

Eligibility

‍To participate in the Rewards Program, you must (1) meet all eligibility requirements to be a delivery partner under the Flex Terms; (2) have an Amazon Flex account in active standing; and (3) have set your home city within the Amazon Flex App to any active service area in the United States (a “Participating Location”). All eligible delivery partners in Participating Locations will be automatically enrolled in the Rewards Program. Once enrolled, there is no additional action required to participate in the Rewards Program.

Rewards Program Levels‍

‍The Rewards Program offers four membership levels (“Rewards Levels”): Rewards Level 1, Rewards Level 2, Rewards Level 3, and Rewards Level 4. Rewards Levels unlock access to certain rewards (“Rewards”), whether offered through Amazon or through a third-party service provider. Each Rewards Level includes its own Rewards as well as the Rewards of the preceding Rewards Level. Each Rewards Level requires a minimum number of points earned to access a set of Rewards. The Points thresholds required to reach each Rewards Level can be found in the Rewards details page in the Activity Hub in the Amazon Flex App.

Earning Points

‍Delivery partners can earn points (“Points”) to access the different Rewards Levels and the Rewards offered in each Rewards Level. Delivery partners having a standing of Fantastic, Great, or Fair will be able to earn Points. This standing is awarded by Amazon in its sole discretion based on a number of factors, including, without limitation, reliability and delivery quality. Learn more about what affects your standing by navigating to the Read FAQs section in the Amazon Flex App (Amazon Flex App > Activity Hub > Standing Details > Read FAQs). Delivery partners will earn a minimum of 10 Points per Attended Block and 1 Point per Delivery Opportunity. “Attended Block” means each specified offer to provide delivery services through the Amazon Flex App (e.g., reserved offer, instant offer, etc.) for which you accept and make deliveries as a delivery partner. “Delivery Opportunity” means (a) for Amazon.com Attended Blocks, each package for which you make an affirmative, good faith attempt to deliver consistent with the Flex Terms; and (b) for Whole Foods Market, Amazon Fresh, and Prime Now Attended Blocks, each customer order for which you make an affirmative, good faith attempt to deliver, regardless of the number of items included in such order. Delivery partners with a standing of Great will earn 2x Points, which means 20 Points per Attended Block and 2 Points per Delivery Opportunity. Delivery partners with a standing of Fantastic will earn 3x Points, which means 30 Points per Attended Block and 3 Points per Delivery Opportunity. For example: If a delivery partner with a standing of Fantastic has an Attended Block with 5 Delivery Opportunities, they will earn 30 Points for the Attended Block and 15 Points for the Delivery Opportunities, totaling 45 Points. Delivery partners who have a standing of At Risk are still eligible to make deliveries but will not earn Points until their standing is improved to Fair, Great or Fantastic. Points are calculated based on the standing of the delivery partners in the Amazon Flex App prior to beginning deliveries at an Attended Block.

Amazon reserves the right to offer additional Points or additional Point multipliers in certain Participating Locations for certain periods of time, in its sole discretion.

Points have no cash value and are used solely to determine your Rewards Level. Points may be revoked if Amazon believes, in its sole discretion, that Points were earned through or in connection with any fraud, abuse of the platform, or in violation of the Rewards Program Terms.

Maintaining Your Level

‍Each earning period (“Earning Period”) is a three-month period, and there are four Earning Periods each year (January 1st through March 31st, April 1st through June 30th, July 1st through September 30th and October 1st through December 31st). The number of Points earned during an Earning Period will determine the Rewards Level and, therefore, the Rewards that can be accessed. When the required minimum number of points is reached in an Earning Period, the delivery partner will gain access to the new Rewards Level immediately, or within 24 hours, and enjoy that access for the remainder of the current Earning Period and through the following Earning Period. Points expire and reset to zero at the end of every Earning period. For example, in case a delivery partner accumulated the number of Points required to unlock Rewards Level 2 on February 2nd, they will have access to Rewards Level 2 until June 30th, the end of the following Earning Period.

Once you unlock a higher Rewards Level, you will start to access the Rewards from the higher Rewards Level, but not all Rewards may be immediately available.

At all times that a delivery partner has a standing of At Risk, such delivery partner will not be able to access any new Rewards until their standing is improved to Fair, Great or Fantastic. However, delivery partners will not lose Rewards for which they have already enrolled in or purchased. For clarity, Rewards unlocked, but not otherwise enrolled in or purchased prior to receiving the At Risk standing, will be made available to a delivery partner again after their standing is improved to Fair, Great or Fantastic.

How to View Your Points Balance; Disputes

You can view your current Points balance by visiting the Points History Tab from the Rewards details page in the Activity Hub. Any errors or omissions related to delivery activity or Points posted to your Activity Hub must be reported immediately by contacting Amazon as noted in the “Contact Us” section below.

It may take approximately 72 hours after the Attended Block for your Points balance to update. In the event of an outage of the Amazon systems, your Points balance update may be delayed. Additionally, if the outage occurs near the end of the Earning Period, it is possible that the Points will not be applied until the next Earning Period.

Account Termination‍

‍A condition of eligibility is to maintain an active Amazon Flex account pursuant to the Flex Terms. If your participation in Amazon Flex is terminated for any reason pursuant to the Flex Terms, all Points associated with the Rewards Program and any Rewards shall be forfeited immediately upon termination, in accordance with the terms of the specific Reward, as detailed below.

Rewards Program Changes and Rewards Program Termination

‍Amazon reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue the Rewards Program, or any part thereof, at any time, without notice and without further obligations to you or any other delivery partners, including, but not limited to modifications that: (1) govern how Points are earned on and after the date of change; (2) change the number of Points required to access a Rewards Level; (3) change the specific Rewards offered in each Rewards Level; or (4) change any other requirements necessary to obtain Rewards within a Rewards Level. No Points will be earned after the effective date of termination. Any and all changes and/or amendments to these Rewards Program Terms will become binding upon all delivery partners immediately.

Assignment of Rights‍

Amazon’s rights and obligations under the Rewards Program may be assigned or transferred by Amazon to any third party at any time, and if such transfer takes place, then performance shall be the responsibility of that entity.

Interpretation of Rewards Program Terms

All interpretations of these Rewards Program Terms will be in Amazon’s sole discretion, and Amazon’s decisions will be final.

Rewards Details and Additional Terms

Rewards provided by third parties may require additional action by you and may be subject to additional terms and conditions provided by such third parties, including your use of the Stride App (the “Stride App”), and redemption of rewards offered through the Stride App. Delivery partners are responsible for all taxes that may be owed as a result of receiving the Rewards.

Please note that offers from third parties, including but not limited to the qualifications for accessing the Rewards, as well as the identities of the third parties themselves, are subject to change at any time in Amazon’s sole discretion:

• Rewards made available to delivery partners through the Stride App.
• Rewards at participating third parties with which Amazon has negotiated exclusive Rewards.

1. What is Stride and how do I access Rewards?

We've partnered with Stride to provide delivery partners with access to thousands of discounts and tools to help you navigate things like insurance and taxes.

3. What is Preferred Scheduling?

With Preferred Scheduling you can enjoy special reserved offers targeted to your preferences. And, you’ll have more time to accept them! These special reserved offers are called Rewards reserved offers. They will appear in addition to the offers you already see on the Offers page and will indicate that they are linked to your Rewards Level. The number of Rewards reserved offers that you’ll see is based on availability of offers that match one or more of your Preferred Scheduling preferences. You will be able to set these preferences when you unlock Rewards Level 2. As you level up, you are more likely to see a higher number of Rewards reserved offers.The extended time you’ll have to accept Rewards reserved offers will be based on your rewards level.

Rewards level 2: 15 minutes

Rewards level 3: 20 minutes

Rewards level 4: 30 minutes

To set your Preferred Scheduling preferences go to the Amazon Flex App> Menu > Settings> Preferred Scheduling. You can select up to 3 preferred delivery stations, and up to 3 day and time combinations that work best for you. You will be able to set these preferences once you unlock Rewards Level 2, and they can be updated at any time. After you set your preferences, Rewards reserved offers will appear in the Offers page based on the availability of offers that meet one or more of your preferences. The Preferred Scheduling preferences you set will only apply to these additional Rewards reserved offers. They will not limit the offers you see on the Offers page.
