The Offer

Direct Link to offer – (Link your ThankYou here) (affiliate links here and below)

There’s a new Amazon deal working for some people:

Get 20% off on Amazon when you use at least one Citi ThankYou point with shop-with-points.
Must first activate the offer here. Max $30 discount.

Here’s how to go about doing this deal:

Link your Citi ThankYou account to your Amazon account if you haven’t already (note, you often have to wait 24 hours after registering your card until you can activate the offer)
Activate the promo at this link
Add eligible products shipped and sold by Amazon to your shopping cart
Proceed to checkout & select your Citi ThankYou card as your payment method
Select the amount of ThankYou Points you’d like to use for the purchase (we recommend using just 1 point)
20% discount will automatically be applied at checkout

The Fine Print

The promotion will end 11:59PM PST on 09/30/2020, or when the cumulative value of redeemed promotion codes reaches $250,000, whichever is earlier. The promotional code will expire concurrently.
This offer is not available to eligible Citi cardmembers who have previously used ThankYou Points to shop at Amazon.com in the past twelve (12) months.
- One report suggests this is not being strictly enforced
Offer is available by invitation only, is non-transferable, is not redeemable for cash, and may not be resold.
Amazon reserves the right to modify or cancel this offer at any time.
Offer only applies to products sold by Amazon.com (Look for “sold by Amazon.com” or “sold by Amazon Digital Services LLC” on the product detail page). Products sold by third-party sellers or other Amazon entities will not qualify for this offer, even if “fulfilled by Amazon.com” or “Prime Eligible”.
Offer does not apply to digital content.
Products must be purchased in a single order with the same method of shipment to a single address. Shipping charges and taxes may apply to the full value of discounted promotional items.

F.A.Q’s

Do you need prime to do this deal?

These deals typically do not require Prime.

Why isn’t it working for me?

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

Make sure you’ve activated the offer first.
Make sure your ThankYou account is linked to your Amazon account (here).
Make sure you’re applying at least one ThankYou point at checkout.
Try removing your ThankYou 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 ThankYou card. This has worked in the past, so maybe it’ll work for this.

Can I 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 use this promo across a bunch of smaller purchases?

In the past, that’s always worked.

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.

Our Verdict

It’s likely targeted, though it’s possible it’ll work for anyone with a linked Citi ThankYou card (which has its account linked for pay-with-points). Max this out with $150 in purchases.

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