Amazon Prime Big Deal Days: Oct 8 and 9, 2024
If you are an Amazon Prime member, you may (or may not!) be aware that today and tomorrow are “Prime Deal Days”.
While you can see a trending list of Prime Days deals here, I would suggest you first see what kind of deals you have with your credit card points. Most (but not all) deals involve using just 1 credit card point to get the deal. Right now, for instance, I have a deal for 30% off up to $30 (that’s $100 in spend) using just 1 Amex point per order. I know many people have active offers with Amex points so check that first.
FYI, I always keep the Amazon “Pay One Point” offers updated here. But here’s a list to keep it simple.
PS: If you are a heavy Amazon / Whole Foods / Amazon Fresh user, the 5% cash back on a Prime Visa may be worthwhile and the signup bonus is bumped to a $150 Amazon Gift Card upon approval for Amazon Big Prime Days.
American Express Membership Rewards “Pay One Point”
See if you are targeted. Deal varies by account. Last reported active – October 2024
US Bank “Pay One Point”
Capital One “Pay One Point”
This may actually require 625 miles to be used rather than one. Discount will vary.
Chase Ultimate Rewards “Pay One Point”
See if you are targeted. Deal varies by account.
Discover “Pay One Point”
See if you are targeted. Deal varies by account. Last reported active – Apr 2024
Citi ThankYou “Pay One Point”
See if you are targeted. We haven’t seen this live in a while but it’s worth checking if you have ThankYou points.

How to Checkout
Then, at checkout, use your Amex / Chase / Citi / Discover card is set for the payment method – but in the box where it defaults to all the points possible to pay for the purchase (which will probably only net you about 0.6 cents a point), type in $0.01 worth of points (or whatever the minimum amount of points required is as long as the requirement still makes sense)
