One of the Chase Freedom Flex® Card’s 5X bonus categories this quarter is Amazon purchases.
Cardholders who enroll by June 14, 2026, can earn 5X Chase points worth 5% cash back) on eligible purchases made with Amazon and at Whole Foods Markets, up to $1,500 in combined spending with the other eligible categories. (Which means if you don’t already have the $0 annual fee Chase Freedom Flex®, there’s still plenty of time to get it and start saving on Amazon!)
But if you like audiobooks, does the 5X work with Audible purchases? Afterall, Audible is an Amazon company.
I was buying an audiobook anyway — figured I’d test it and report back!

5X at Audible
David Bisson is one of the fantastic coaches and instructors at VoiceOver School. (VOS is an online community of voiceover artists of all skill levels — complete newbies to people raking in six figures a year. If you or someone you know has ever been interested in voiceover, I highly recommend it.)
Anyway, Dave wrote a great book called Authentic Commercial Voiceover: Find your voice. Book the job. Build Your VO Career about commercial voiceover a few years ago. He just released its second edition two months ago.
I decided to get the audio version. So, I popped over to the book’s page on Audible. I bought it with my Chase Freedom Flex®.
I checked my Chase account a couple of days later:
Sure enough, my rewards balance was 51.25 Chase points richer! That amounts to at least 51.25 cents back if I go the cash back route. Or, I can transfer the points to my Chase Sapphire Reserve® and then transfer those Chase points to a travel partner for an even better redemption.
Final Approach
If you enjoy audiobooks and earning rewards points, Audible purchases made on the Chase Freedom Flex® count toward this quarter’s 5X promotion.
Happy shopping, earning, and listening!

Are you sure about the Whole Foods Market purchases? I haven’t seen anywhere in the Chase docs that it includes Whole Foods.
I’m sure.
