Amazon is once again offering 20% off your order when you use at least 1 Membership Rewards point up to a maximum discount of $50. This promotion appears to be targeted and you may not be eligible if you participated in the promotion last time. That said, it’s pretty easy to click and see if you’re targeted, and if you are this is a good deal.

Quick Thoughts

If you haven’t yet linked your Membership Rewards account to be able to pay with points at Amazon, you can start by linking here.

Then you’ll have to see the link under “The Deal” and click the button to activate the deal for your account.

Finally, during the checkout process, be sure to choose your American Express Membership Rewards-earning card for payment and use at least 1 Membership Rewards point to activate the discount. You’ll probably only want to use 1 Membership Rewards point since Amazon offers terribly poor value for Membership Rewards points.

In the past, this deal has worked on gift card purchases apart from Amazon gift cards. Here is a link to gift cards (again, keep in mind tha the discount doesn’t work with Amazon gift cards).

It’s worth noting that it might not be wise to keep your Membership Rewards-earning cards linked to Amazon for the purposes of shopping with points. There have been reports of hacked Amazon accounts over the past year where people have cleaned out a points balance. I assume you would probably be able to work through getting your points back, but easier not to lose them in the first place. It’s probably overly cautious of me, but I’m hesitant to keep external points currencies linked to Amazon.

Update 6/30/19: If you weren’t targeted, try following these steps as they got Stephen targeted.
