FlexControl1. Climb the rewards levels
| Level | Points | What it unlocks for blocks |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 1 | — |
| Level 2 | 650 | Preferred Scheduling (reserved offers), region transfer |
| Level 3 | 3,000 | More reserved offers and more time to accept |
| Level 4 | 6,500 | More reserved offers and more time to accept |
You earn at least 10 points per block plus 1 per delivery. Great standing doubles that, Fantastic triples it, and At Risk earns nothing. Points reset every 3 months.
2. Set up Preferred Scheduling
At Level 2+, pick up to 3 stations and 3 day-and-time combinations. Reserved offers for those go to you first, for a limited time, before anyone else sees them. Amazon says these preferences don’t reduce your regular offers.
Drivers add: answer reserved offers before the window closes; missing them is a common complaint.
3. Protect your standing
- Be on time, and don’t arrive more than 15 minutes before the block starts.
- Cancel at least 45 minutes ahead. If you accepted a block starting in under 45 minutes, cancel within 5 minutes of accepting.
- Return undeliverable packages.
- Follow the Terms of Service. Amazon’s standings post lists not using bots there.
4. Use every delivery type
| Type | Length | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon.com (standard) | 1–6 hours | The main block type |
| Fresh and grocery, incl. Whole Foods | 2–4 hours | Grocery stations, picked separately in filters |
| Amazon Now | Under 1 hour | Scheduled up to 7 days ahead, or instant |
| Sub Same-Day 1-hour blocks | 1 hour | Launched April 2026; some are tip-eligible |
| Longer blocks after check-in | Longer, more pay | Offered after checking in for some Sub Same-Day blocks, in select US areas; 2 minutes to decide |
| Instant offers | Start in 0–30 min | Go Online near a participating site |
5. Get the timing right
- Check often: Amazon adds offers throughout the day.
- Track your station’s pattern for two weeks. See When do Amazon Flex blocks drop?.
- Remove filters you don’t need, or tap “Show other offers”.
- Drivers say some stations raise pay on blocks nobody takes within a few minutes. Worth watching if you aren’t in a hurry.

Questions
How do I get more blocks on Amazon Flex?
Reach Rewards Level 2 for reserved offers, keep standing Fantastic or Great, use every delivery type including instant offers, and learn your station’s timing.
How do I get reserved offers?
Reach Rewards Level 2 (650 points in a 3-month period) and set Preferred Scheduling for up to 3 stations and 3 day-and-time combinations.
How fast can I reach Level 2?
As an illustration, 10 points per block plus 30 deliveries gives 40 base points. Reaching 650 points would take 17 such blocks at the base rate, 9 with a 2× multiplier or 6 with a 3× multiplier. Actual deliveries and points vary.
How do I get higher-paying blocks?
Drivers report that some stations raise pay on blocks not taken within minutes. Amazon doesn’t publish surge rules.
