Our Verdict
Not as good as the $30 off $60+ American Express/Amazon are offering. Citi are also offering $10 credit when you change your one click settings on Amazon. I’m loving all these Amazon deals & discounts in the lead up to prime day!

What to Buy
If you have an item to buy on Amazon that’s the easiest. You can also lock in the $30 off $60 deal on a third-party gift card of your choice, just not on an Amazon gift card.

Remember To Stack
There are so many other ways to save money on Amazon, so make sure you stack discounts & deals. You can view our complete guide to saving money on Amazon here. This post contains our Amazon affiliate links, I appreciate you using them but keep in mind you could be earning 3x JetBlue points instead.
Got the same error message. I chatted with CS, providing the promo code, and was instantly ‘offered’ $5 credit to my account. It’s always worth contacting them, as they are usually pretty generous with giving out credits. Also, I was a day and half late in canceling my cinnemax subscription, and then also refunded that 9.99. 🙂
It told me that the promotion couldn’t be applied. I was able to get the $10 for changing One Click settings though.
