[Expired] [Ends Tomorrow] Amazon: Get 20% Off on Amazon when Using 1 Membership Rewards Point (Max $50 Discount)

Update 12/30/19: This deal ends tomorrow, report of a reddit user being able to use this discount multiple times.

Update 12/3/19: Offer has been extended through 12/31. The 20%/$10 Discover deal has been extended as well. Working for new people to activate and working at checkout for those who’ve already activated this previously. Not sure if it’s working for anyone a second time for those who’ve already used it.

Update 12/2/19: Last day for this offer.

Update 11/7/19: One reader had the 20% offer, used that and then checked the following day and also had the $20 off $100+ offer. Worth checking after your first offer to see if you have a second offer as well. Hat tip to reader KT

Other Deals

There are a few other similar deals shop with points deals on Amazon. We’ve written about these in the past, and they are still active.

Get $15 off $50 deal with Citi ThankYou points (Our Original Post)

Most of these deals expire on 12/31/19 while the two 20% deals expire on 12/2/19.

F.A.Q’s

Do you need prime to do this deal?

I got it on my Prime accounts, and not on my non-Prime accounts, but I believe it’s working for some people without Prime as well. Might depend if it’s a highly-used Amazon account.

Why isn’t it working for me?

This offer is targeted, but you can check these things:

Make sure you’ve activated the offer first.
Make sure your Membership Rewards account is linked to your Amazon account (do that here).
Make sure you’re applying at least one Membership Rewards point at checkout.
Try removing all of your Membership Rewards cards, then adding one back and linking it again. (original post)
Bonus option: You can try removing all credit cards on your Amazon account apart from one Membership Rewards card. This has worked in the past, so maybe it’ll work for this.

Can you use this across multiple accounts?

It should work once on each account. Hard to know for certain that Amazon won’t have a problem with that.

Can I pay with my Amazon gift card balance in conjunction with Shop with Points?

Yes. Check out the post How to Use an Amazon Gift Card with a Shop-with-Points Order for 3 methods:

Gift card balance is less than the purchase amount.
Apply a gift card and it ‘unlocks’ your gift card balance.
Set the points card as your default payment method.

Can I use the 20% across a bunch of small orders until I hit $50?

Yes, that’s worked for me in previous offers.

Our Verdict

The 20% off deal is obviously better due to the higher $50 savings potential. Stack these deals with this Amex Offer for $15/1,500 with $75 purchase if you were targeted for that deal and haven’t yet used it.

This deal works on third party gift cards, but presumably not Amazon or Visa gift cards. Samples gift cards available on Amazon:
