Our Verdict
It seems like lately you’re not eligible for this deal if you’ve done the same points deal within the last 12 months. Still worth checking to see if you are targeted or not and obviously a great deal if you are. This deal works on third party gift cards, but not Amazon or Visa gift cards. Samples gift cards available on Amazon:

- Link to all electronic gift cards on Amazon (scroll down to find the third party cards)
- Safeway
- Albertson’s
- Best Buy (physical)
- Netflix
- Gamestop
- Uber
- Lyft
- Airbnb
- Hotels.com
- Southwest
- Starbucks
- Chipotle
- Nordstrom
- Lowe’s
A quick data point for y’all. Already had Discover linked to Amazon, but never used one of these promotions before.
Important terms:
Get 40% off eligible purchases¹ when paying with Discover® rewards.
Maximum discount $30.
The promotion will end on the earlier of (a) 5:00 PM PT on 9/28/2023, or (b) the time at which offers worth $150,000 have been redeemed.
If I have multiple Discover Cards with rewards, do I have to link it to both cards or just link it once and it connects to both Rewards accounts?
The fine print mentions that the item has to be sold by Amazon, but can it be shipped from a third party or does have to be both sold and shipped by Amazon? I’ve never used or attempted to connect the points to take advantage of this type of promo so that’s why I’m curious. Does the discount ever increase or is this as good as it gets? Wonder if I should try to connect my Chase cards as well.
Got the $10 off $50. Used $1 of cashback (which triggered the $10 off), paid a bit from an Amazon gift card, and paid the rest with my Discover card.
Care to share the precise steps. at checkout?
I want to pay $.01 rewards and the remainder with Amazon GC balance for an Uber GC (any delivery method).
Figure out how much will be your cart total with the Discover discount. Buy Amazon GC using preferred credit card up to amount – 0.02 cents. Then use GC, 0.01 reward point and 0.01 on discover.
Trying to spend balance in my Amazon Gift Card Account.
Buying a new one won’t get me where I want to go.
Can’t choose specific Amazon gift balance amount to apply. It automatically applies the entire gift balance if you choose to use it.
Someone noted somewhere else they bought a $1 AGC and then applied it during checkout to unlock the use of the rest of their AGC balance.
Haven’t tried it myself yet though.
After some guess and check, YOU MUST APPLY THE GIFT CARD ON THE MAIN/HOME/FIRST CHECKOUT PAGE and NOT on the payment page where all your credit/debit cards are listed.
I also had the right card with $0.01 points selected BEFORE I added the AGC. These are the steps I used that worked after some PITA experimenting. Hope this helps.
Nose wax is on sale. I think they are clearing out old/discontinued product.
When I got to the select payment method, I selected my Discover card and chose my cashback amount ($1 for me), and then scrolled down to “Your available balance” and checked the gift card that was there ($15).
30% $15 max cb
$10 off $50 for me.
Same
Yep
Used the piss out of the last bonus but nooooo not eligible for this one.???
Finally got targeted, but for $10 off $50.
Still not eligible and my card has been linked since that new $10 discover deal came around
