Pay with American Express Points, Get $30 off $60 at Amazon (Targeted)
If you have an American Express card with Membership Rewards (MR) points, you can redeem them to buy eligible items at Amazon.com. The redemption rate is 100 MR points = $0.70 to spend at Amazon, which is less than a cent per point and thus not really the ideal use of MR points. However, here is a promotion where you can get $30 off a $60 Amazon purchase when you redeem just 1 single MR point. The promotion may not work for everyone, but it worked for me and I’ve usually done every other promotion. Via SD:
Click here to link your American Express Membership Rewards points balance to your Amazon account
Add $60+ of eligible products sold and shipped by Amazon.com to your shopping cart
Proceed to checkout & select your American Express as your payment method
Select the amount of Membership Rewards Points you would like to use for the purchase (must use at least 1 MR point)
$30 off $60 discount will be applied to qualifying items at checkout
This is nice perk for existing American Express cardholders, and some of which don’t even have an annual fee.
Here are my favorite AmEx cards with no annual fee, which are great for keeping MR points active if you sometimes have a Gold/Platinum card but not always.
AmEX EveryDay credit card review – 15,000 bonus points, no annual fee, no fee 0% balance transfer offer. See review for details.
Blue Business Card from American Express review – 2X points on all purchases, up to $50,000/year. This is my primary business card right now due to its simplicity and no annual fee. See review for details.
