It is evident Jeff Bezos has big plans for his top company, but cryptocurrency isn’t part of it

I would say it's quite the opposite. Amazon bought some crypto-related domain names few weeks ago.

My guess is that they will add some crypto currencies as possible paiement but coupled with their own token or coin.

I think soon they will accept Bitcoin. But @Kargai has the point on the possibility of making their token or coins. 

We really don't know the future. What crypto and how will change everything. 

The only thing I know is that if they announce a token  or a coin, i'll send them a mail in the next few minutes :

I think gradually everyone will switch to the reception of bitcoins.

So like a own currency just for amazon?

The world is changing very rapidly. And when it's about accepting Bitcoin as payment, some major companies already started to accept Bitcoin. That time is not too far when every big company will have a payment option named BITCOIN..

My question was when they will and kind of for what reasons

When..?? well, only CEO of those companies may answer your question.

for what reason..?? The popularity of bitcoin is your answer I guess..

Large companies are the ones who could create the biggest competitors bitcoin's seen yet. As suggested above they might just try their hand at getting out their own flavor of crypto instead of supporting existing ones.

But lots of people are saying btc is a buble so why would anyone accept it as a currency?
