New Deal at Amazon Using 1 Amex Membership Rewards Point
Doctor of Credit is reporting new variations on the old “Use an Amex point at Amazon and save…” deal.
There’s also a new $30 off $150 with 1 Citi ThankYou point offer on now.
In the new Amex deal, the first report is for $20 off of $65 using 1 point. Other commenters report variants like $10 off $35 or $10 off $100.
How to Register for the Deal?
The first step is to see if you are targeted.
Keep in mind that you’ll need to already have a Membership Rewards card linked to Amazon. If you haven’t yet, do so here.
Also, if you aren’t getting targeted at all, you may want to remove your Amex cards from Amazon and add them back the next day to “reset” things.
What Can You Buy?
Next, be SURE the item(s) you pick are sold and shipped by Amazon.com, else it won’t work.
Third party gift cards sold by Amazon should be fine as well.

How to Checkout
Then, at checkout, make sure your Amex card is set for the payment method. At that point it will default to using points for the whole purchase. Change that.
You want to use *one point* for one cent off. (Don’t use more as the rate they give you per point is not very good.)
If the rest was done properly, you’ll see the discount off reflected on your checkout page.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The next time you checkout, be sure you aren’t paying with all point by default as Amazon changes your default payment method.
If you get a rock, you may want to remove all of your Amex cards from your Amazon wallet and then re-add an Amex Membership Rewards earning credit card like an Amex Gold Card (our review) and then try again tomorrow.
