Spend Your Crypto on Amazon Using BitPay's Bill Pay
BitPay Bill Pay lets you turn any Amazon shopping spree into a chance to earn rewards while still paying with crypto.

Then pay off the balance with Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, stablecoins, or any of 100+ supported cryptocurrencies. It's one of the simplest ways to get more out of every Amazon order.
Start putting your Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, or other crypto to work on Amazon purchases in minutes.
Download the BitPay App.
Add the credit card you plan to use at Amazon.
Charge your Amazon purchases to that credit card to earn rewards on every order.
Return to the app to pay off the balance with the crypto of your choice.
That's it! After your Amazon balance is squared away, you can keep using Bill Pay to settle credit card charges from everyday purchases, travel, dining, and pretty much anywhere your card is accepted.
