Photo: Sun Asterisk [Sun Asterisk](https://giftcard.news/company/sun-asterisk/) will add [Amazon](https://giftcard.news/company/amazon/) gift cards to the redemption choices in its Premium Yutaiclub shareholder reward programme, following an October 13 decision. Exchanges are planned to begin in early March 2027 for holders qualifying at the December 31, 2026 record. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1) The company explicitly says points awarded by shareholding and holding period do not change. The expansion concerns what recipients can select, rather than a higher award or an Amazon option already available in October. ## An additional choice under the unchanged point schedule The programme requires at least 600 shares at the annual December record. It already offers more than 5,000 goods and experience gifts, alongside exchange into WILLsCoin that can combine eligible rewards from other participating issuers. Amazon gift cards add another use for that existing reward entitlement. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1) Your free reader account ## Continue reading for free.
