[Expired]Amazon: Get $30 off $60 by Using 1 Membership Rewards Point [Targeted Offer, Working For People When It Didn’t Before]

This deal is no longer valid, but you can still get $25 off $50 here.

This offer originally had an end date of 7/11, but it’s been extended to 7/31/17. (HT: DD) Also note that some people who weren’t targeted earlier are having luck now. And it might even depend on which platform you use; a friend and multiple readers who couldn’t get it to work on computer were able to get it to work in the app. It can even work if you did the previous $25 deal.

The Offer

Direct link to offer (offer might not show, follow directions below)

  • Link your Amex Membership Rewards account with your Amazon account for Shop-with-Points and receive $30 off a $60+ purchase of anything sold by Amazon with promo code AMEX17PRIME.

Here’s how to get in on this deal:

  1. Add $60 or more of eligible products sold and shipped by Amazon.com to your shopping card.
  2. Go to your payment options and choose your linked AMEX card with Membership Rewards or link a card now
  3. Pay for at least a portion of your order with Membership Rewards points; you can use just use one point and pay the rest with the credit card (click ‘choose different amount’ to do this)
  4. Enter the promo code AMEX17PRIME in the box provided on the checkout page
  5. $30 of savings will be reflected on the final order checkout page.

Code Doesn’t Work?

  • Make sure you’re purchasing items sold and shipped by Amazon.com
  • If you just linked your MR account, wait 24 hours and try using the promo code again; seems it takes a few hours for until the promo code works
  • If it’s still not working, contact Amazon chat about the issue. They will likely tell you to complete your purchase and they will refund you the $30

The Fine Print

  • The promotion will end at 11:59 PT on 7/11/2017
  • To redeem the offer, you must be logged into an account which has been active for 90 days or longer.

Taxes, gift-wrap, and shipping and handling charges do not apply when determining minimum purchase amount.
  • The maximum benefit you may receive from this offer is $25 per eligible Membership Rewards enrolled Card.
  • Offer is not available to American Express Membership Rewards eligible cards whose points have been previously used for purchases at Amazon.com in the past twenty four months.
  • Offer does not apply to the purchase of digital content.
  • Offer only applies to eligible products sold by Amazon.com.
  • Items must be purchased in a single order and shipped at the same speed to a single address.
  • Limit one promotion code per Membership Rewards eligible card.
  • Offer is available by invitation only, is non-transferable, is not redeemable for cash, and may not be resold.
  • Promotional codes (including those placed directly in accounts) may not be redeemed for Amazon Gift Cards.

Our Verdict

This won’t work for everybody and seems to have replaced the $25 off $50 deal, it’s working for some people even if they have done that deal before.

What to Buy

If you have an item to buy on Amazon that’s the easiest. You can also lock in the $30 off $60 deal on a third-party gift card of your choice, just not on an Amazon gift card.

Here’s the link for all electronically delivered gift cards on Amazon and here’s the link for all physically mailed gift cards on Amazon. You’ll have to scroll down a bit to skip Amazon’s own gift cards.

Sample e-gift card deals to get a $60 gift card for just $30 with this promo: $60 Safeway e-gift, $60 AirBnB e-gift, $60 Uber e-gift, $60 Hotels.com e-gift, $60 Whole Foods e-gift, $60 Lowes e-gift, $60 Netflix e-gift.

Physical gift cards are more difficult because they don’t come in flexible denominations: $50 Southwest gift card, $50 Starbucks gift card, $50 Staples gift card, $50 Sears gift card, $50 Whole Foods gift card, $50 Nordstrom gift card, $50 AirBnB gift card.

Tried it today on two different browsers and it said “The promotional code you entered has expired.” I tried to contact customer service earlier and they were utterly unhelpful.

I love free money and getting $55.00 for nothing other than having an AMEX is great. Thanks for the heads up!

Thank you so much! I was lazy and hadn’t done the 25/50 promo before so these two stacked and worked like a charm with a $60 Lowes card.
This is my first time posting but I have been following you for the past year and have been able to go abroad 2x with another 10 day trip scheduled for Japan (all airfare and hotels paid for) based on all of the great deals and tips you post. 🙂

Tried 7/12, no dice. On 7/13, it let me apply the code (showed $30 off) on the Choose Payment screen, but progressing to the final review screen it went away. I didn’t pull the trigger for obvious reasons.

As of now, trying to use the code says “you have used this promotion already” warning, but continues to show the discount on the Choose Payment Method screen. No dice completing an order.

Online chat was useless, apart from promising to have the marketing team email me back someday. Level 2 phone support from WA claimed that the promotion has hit the 100K limiter.

I used amex17prime the day this came out with no problem. Not prime and not targeted. I then tried my wife’s account and did not work. I have literally tried again once a day since and it finally just worked on my wife’s account. My advice: don’t give up on it.

DP: have two Amex card sharing the same MR account. Placed an order with one card, succeeded, and tried another card with another amz account, failed many times. After one just worked on laptop. So I guess you can wait for a day or so to see if it’s working.
