The email message below: "Important Notification Regarding Your Current Rewards Points," which claims that the recipients have been awarded a $100 worth of bonus points that they can apply towards any product for sale on Amazon’s website, is a fake. The fake Amazon Prime Reward email message, which also claims the recipients can claim their bonuses by clicking on the link in the same email message before it expires, will actually take the recipients to a phishing website, malicious website, or fraudulent website where they will be asked to complete surveys. One such fraudulent website is "supergiftland.kooc.info".

Just received similar email saying I will lose $200 Amazon bonus if I don't click on link before Nov. 18.
Thought it sounded too good to be true so I googled it!

How stupid do these scammers think we are? The email subject mentions a $50 Credit, and then the body of the scam email bumps that to $100. What a joke.

Just received same. My filter automatically dumps this as spam so I simply delete all spam. Would never consider opening anything from anyone I didn't request it from. That's always the safest thing to do.

Another way to double check is to look at the return email address...and I often do a Google search for the subject line if I'm at all suspicious.

I got this email the other day but was afraid to click on it, though it sounded good, it was suspicious to me. Ho they know I have Prime, I don't know, but something was off.
The Amazon word in the email had 0's as O's (zero vs. the letter O), and it just didn't seem like it was a for real thing from Amazon, although I wanted it to be. This question led me to search, and here I am. Found this right off the bat! I thought so, but thanks for the confirmation. I did NOT want to get a virus on my PC or 'schwaggled' in any way.
Much appreciated. You get nada for nothing :).
