The Offer
Direct Link for PC – Direct Link for Mac
- File taxes with HR Block and get up to a 10% bonus if you opt to receive your refund in the form on an Amazon e-gift card
The bonus will be either 5% or 10% depending on which software you choose.
The Fine Print
- In previous offers, the 10% bonus was for Deluxe and Premium plans, while the Basic plan got 5%. I assume it’s the same this year, but they don’t give many details.
- In previous offers there was a limit of a $900 gift card bonus (a $9,000 tax refund).
Our Verdict
The 5% deal probably isn’t worth it, but 10% off Amazon is a nice deal. Obviously, won’t work for a lot of people who use professional tax preparers.
I can’t yet find a dedicated HR Block offer page; the offer is only showing along with the product on Amazon. Last year, it was possible to get other gift card options besides Amazon; we’ll have to see if they offer that this year as well – so far it’s just Amazon. I imagine we’ll see an official offer page eventually.
You can check back to see the price on Amazon for this software; currently it’s selling for $35, but apparently it’s on sale for less recently.
Remember to go through Jetblue for 3x per dollar on Amazon.
Hat tip to Slickdeals
There is an AMEX offer that appearred today on some of my cards for H&R block digital solutions spend $30 get $10 back.
Nice! I see that now. Let’s hope they release an offer page so it will work for direct purchases too and will be stackable with the Amex Offer.
$55 on the H&R web site for the deluxe version comparable to the $35 amazon deluxe version with 10% rebate, so even with $10 off its more expensive, so not sure the amex offer will ever be useful.
