[Expired] [YMMV] Amex Membership Rewards: Redeem Select Giftcards at 20% Discount (Home Depot, Gap)

Deal has expired, view more American Express deals by clicking here.

The Offer

  • American Express Membership Rewards is offering select gift cards at a 20% discounted redemption rate:
    • Home Depot gift cards in denominations of $25, $35, $50, $100, $500, $1,000 at 20% off (e.g. $100 for 8,000 points)
    • Walmart gift cards at 20% off (e.g. $100 for 8,000 points)
    • Gap gift cards in denominations of $10, $25, $50, $100 at 20% off (e.g. $100 for 8,000 points)

iTunes gift cards are also 20% off, but that’s off the original price – after the discount it lands up just under 1 cent-per-point value, not 20% better.

The Fine Print

  • Valid between 6/3/19 and 7/31/19.

Our Verdict

I don’t see this deal in my login, but it appears to be working for many Slickdeals members. Home Depot at 20% off is a pretty good deal for someone who values that as cash. A lot of people will find better value from mileage transfers or even from cashing out via Schwab at 1.25 cents per point.

WalMart is not $100 for 8,000 though. WalMart has an upcharge like iTunes. It is 20% off but still less than 1 cpp. $100 WM card is 11,429 (normal price 14286).

Got some people excited, probably 🙂

It is a big discount from the normal ~14k points to ~11k points for $100.

Home depot 8000 pts for $100 is exactly 1.25 cpp, so if you plan to spend there it’s just as good Schwab and really good if you don’t have Schwab.

Not exactly true, since you’d earn CC rewards on the $100 you spent at HD, but it’s also something you could do now instead of waiting for Schwab. There’s value in certainty.

Cash at 1.25 cpp is still better, since you can buy Home Depot GCs at a discount elsewhere, and/or earn CC rewards when using your CC at Home Depot or when buying the GCs.
