At checkout select the Membership Rewards card that you linked.
You may need to click “Change” by the credit card at checkout if it’s showing a different default credit card.
On the final checkout page click on “Apply rewards points” and enter $0.01 to use 1 point to save 1 cent (Don’t use more than 1 point as buying on Amazon only gives a paltry value of 0.7 cents per AMEX point!):
For example I added $50 of Uber gift cards and got the $20 off and $0.01 from the 1 point used at checkout:
If you want to pay with your Amazon gift card balance but are having a hard time getting that option with this discount, you can try adding a new Amazon gift card of any amount at checkout.
Which offers are you targeted for and what will you buy?
Any gc to any popular supermarket? Ralph’s? Target? Trader Joe’s? Or gas?
1. To clarify what exactly is the household account you mention? Is it a way just share prime benefits with someone else’s existing account or it creates a new account with a new login that is separate from your regular account? ( which you imply by suggesting that you can double dip)
B. You can use your gift balance to pay for the remainder without having to buy an Amazon egift card as well….your screen grab shows that no?
I feel like a kid in a Raffle.
I am hopeful every time, but I am NEVER targeted!
Hii,
I’m only getting $20 off $100… Shouldn’t it be $40 off $100?
I got the $20 off $50
I got 20 off 100 it’s not working by me at all on this deal also the 20 % off is working only if I use all points for payment
20 off 50. Thanks!
I’ve never been able to pay with a gift card on these promos. Can you explain more how you were able to do that.
Should work when you first go to checkout after clicking to apply it to your account.
Otherwise, try adding a $1 gift card to your account at checkout.
Targeted in one out of 3 accounts for $40 off $100.
What’s the difference between the bold and non-bold gift cards in your post?
Can you please clarify how the household accounts work?
If I buy shoes with this $20 off and doesn’t fit and need to return do I lose the $20 off?
not targeted
Got $40 off 100
Thanks Dan
Is this offer only for prime members?
not targeted at even 1 account (15) 🙁 not fair
Using 1 points is not giving the $20 discount anymore. Using 1 point is no longer giving the 20% discount anymore.
When you first posted it it said the offer would be applied. Now it doesn’t give me the savibgs
amex offer for me only shows $20 off $50, not $40 off $100. Was it updated?
Can it be more than one order, or does it need to be one order of at least $100?
I still have the %20 off coupon and activated 20$ off 50$ but its applying 20% instead of 20$ at checkout..
It worked for me, but only when I added $50 of Uber gift cards.
The other 2 items did not do it. and I got $20 off.
Just try the $50 uber with out finally buying it and see if you get amex promo -$20.
Good luck.
I’m unable to both use 1 AmEx point AND pay using my gift card balance. Is anybody else having this problem. (I have not had this problem in the past)
It works with GC balance the first time you try to checkout, then it’s trickier.
Try buying a $0.50 GC and add that in the promo box at checkout. Should work to allow you to use GC balance for the purchase.
