Deal has ended, view more shop with points deals by clicking here. 

Update 12/11/25: More targeted. 

Update 10/6/25:

• More targeted, valid until 12/31/25 at 5pm PT.
• This time you have to use $5 in points (714 points) to get the discount.
• Seems a lot of Prime accounts are getting the better discounts like 40%/$60 and the non-Prime are more like to get 15%/$15. Some are even seeing 50%/$80.
• Seems it can no longer be used for gift cards. Boo!
• Major improvement: this round you can buy items sold by a third party and shipped by Amazon. That makes it so much easier to use.

Our Verdict

Similar to previous offers. If you’re not targeted then follow these instructions, although that hasn’t been working as well as it once did. We’ve added this to our Complete Guide to Saving Money on Amazon.
