Check Your Amex Amazon Offer
See if you are targeted here. What appears for your account is what counts. You may see the 50% offer, the 15% offer, or nothing at all.
Is This a Pay One Point Offer?
Amazon’s announcement doesn’t say how many points these new offers require. Some recent Amex offers have required 714 or 1,429 Membership Rewards points, so read the terms on your account rather than assuming this one only takes a point.
The basic strategy hasn’t changed: use the minimum number of points the offer requires to unlock the discount. Redeeming points for Amazon merchandise without one of these promotions is generally a poor value.
My Amazon Pay With Points offers guide has the other issuer links and the checkout steps. Make sure any discount appears before you place your order.
Prime Big Deal Days Is October 6-7
Amazon says the event begins at 12:01 a.m. Pacific on October 6 and runs through October 7. I’ll update this page during the event with any offer changes and travel deals I can verify.
