1099-misc from Amex for a referral bonus but I am F1 student

Hi,

I received 1099-MISC form AMEX for a referral bonus of 600$ (in points equivalent). However, I am an F1 student and afraid that it can affect my F1 status and can cause visa issues in future? Could you advise how it should be correctly reported in 1040-NR form so it won't be regarded as an income for employment?
