The Offer

Direct link to offer (affiliate links in this post)

  • Amazon is offering 30%/40% off, up to $30/$60 discount, when you use at least 1 Membership Rewards points at checkout.

The Fine Print

  • Please see the offer page for full terms and conditions. This is a limited time offer.
  • The promotion button will expire concurrently.

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.

You can typically use these promotions in a single transaction or across multiple smaller transactions. This deal works on third party gift cards, but not Amazon gift cards. Samples gift cards available on Amazon:

DP: Tried the trick of deleting and re-adding Amex, and reenrolling in Shop with Points, to trigger offer. Now Amazon reports that it cannot access Amex points balance at all, and displays the following message: “American Express reports that you will need to contact them regarding your account status before you are able to use Membership Rewards points. You may contact American Express at 1-800-AXP-7500.”

Amex has no idea what’s going on, and cannot help. Hoping problem will fix itself in a day or two, as it has for some in the past: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/american-express-chase-amazon-deals-working-for-more-people-how-to-get-targeted/#comment-678639

But be aware that trying to force-trigger the offer can cause problems.

Update: for me, issue resolved itself after a few hours. However, there are reports on the web that, for some, issue persists even after two weeks. https://www.uscardforum.com/t/topic/110370/3

Been on quite the dry spell with these. I do not shop on Amazon unless there is a lucrative coupon so guess I will continue to play the waiting game.

This just worked for me 40% off 3 separate $50 transactions with total of $60 off. ( bought Chipotle and Panera e-cards)

For me, it was 40% off across multiple transactions up to $60 max.

I’m assuming this can only be done on one transaction, right?

In the past it’s usually worked for me across multiple transactions and I got the discount each time until hitting the discount max

Got 30% off today on P1’s account, nothing on P2.
Was able to buy a physical Whole Foods GC and leverage the discount

I cannot find Whole Foods gift cards on Amazon website at all… when was this removed?

Very strange…WF gifts cards don’t show up when you search on the amazon website, but I was able to buy a physical gift card with the discount from amazon when I searched on google and clicked the amazon search result.

Thank you, that worked! I wonder why they make it so difficult now.

This worked in January but looks like Amazon closed this loophole. Also tried a couple of links down this thread – nothing seems to work.
