Amazon.com Inc is launching a program to double cashback rewards on fuel purchases to up to 12 percent for Amazon Flex debit cardholders, to help Flex delivery partners amid a rise in fuel prices.

Amazon Flex, which works like on-demand ride-hailing service Uber, handles speedy deliveries of common household goods to customers through programs like Prime Now and Amazon Fresh. Drivers, who use their own vehicles, usually earn over $26 an hour on average in the United States.
