NEW YORK—In a new, unique, credit card promotion, American Express cardholders may be eligible for an Amazon promotion where they can save big on Amazon purchases by redeeming as little as one Amex point, according to a new report.
Targeted American Express card members can save as much as 50% on their next Amazon purchase, for up to $80 in savings when they use Amex points to pay for at least a portion of their purchase at checkout, CNN reported.
The offer is set to expire on Dec. 31.
“So, even if you aren’t in the market to shop at Amazon right now, you have some time to take advantage of the savings. That said, Amazon also states it will deactivate the offer after 60,000 customers have redeemed it,” CNN said.
What’s Required
The deal requires an American Express card that earns Membership Rewards points and will not work on AmEx cards that get cash back or airline miles. Customers must link an Amazon account and an American Express account and then enroll in the “Shop With Points” program and click on a link.
“Remember, this is a targeted promotion, so not everyone will be eligible for it — you could be targeted for any one of the offers or none of them,” CNN explained. “When you click on the link, if you see a message that you’re not eligible, then you’re unfortunately not targeted for this particular promotion.
“But even if you’re not targeted, don’t give up hope. If you just enrolled in “Shop with Points,” you may need to wait 24 hours for Amazon’s records to refresh before knowing if you’re targeted, so check back in a day or so,” the report added.
