Amazon / Discover Cashback Credit Card 20% Savings Deal

If you’re targeted, follow these steps to make your purchase(s) and get the 20% off deal.

• Click the “Click to activate” button on the promotion activation page.
• Add eligible items to your Amazon shopping cart.  Items must be sold and shipped by Amazon to qualify.
• Checkout with your Discover Cashback Bonus Points/Miles card and use at least one Discover point to pay a portion of your order. To maximize points value, use the smallest amount possible…$0.01 as an example…to trigger the savings.
• The 20% discount will be reflected on the final order page.

Terms for This Deal

Here are a few terms associated with this deal.

• 20% off when you use Discover Cashback Bonus, maximum discount of $20.
• This is a limited-time offer.
• The promotion will end on the earlier of (a) 11:59 PT on 9/30/2020, or (b) the time at which offers worth $300,000 have been redeemed. 
• Offer applies only to the purchase where Cashback Bonus is used for at least a portion of the purchase and the promotion is activated and applied at checkout.
• Limit one promotion discount per Cashback Bonus eligible card.
• Limit one promotion discount per Amazon.com account.

Unfortunately, as has been the case with previous deals like these, availability for any one card holder is very hit or miss. 

If you aren’t targeted, you’ll see the following message: “Thank you for your interest in this offer. Unfortunately, you are not eligible for this invitation-only offer.”

As with any of these credit card deals, Amazon seems to add additional accounts periodically, so check back if the deal’s not on your account initially.

If you still don’t see availability, try the trick below.

Sometimes removing a credit card from your Amazon Wallet, adding it back, re-enrolling it in Shop with Points and checking availability the next day will result in the deal becoming available.  Sometimes not.  But it’s worth a try if this deal is of interest.

Amazon Purchase Ideas

The requirement that eligible products must be shipped and sold by Amazon may sound restrictive, but it’s actually not.

There are a wide variety of products sold and shipped by Amazon.

If you don’t have a specific purchase in mind for the 20% off deal, here are some suggestions.

Many items that fall into the paper towels, toilet paper, laundry supplies, etc., categories are “sold and shipped by Amazon.com,” and thus would qualify for the discount.

Be sure pricing is better than what you’d pay elsewhere after the 20% discount is taken into consideration.

Below are some other items that may be of interest. I’ve done my best to ensure the linked items are “sold and shipped by Amazon.com,” but please double check before adding to your cart.

Most times you’ll be able to find the “sold/shipped by” language near your “deliver to” address link on the product’s page.

These credit card savings promos used to work on gift card purchases, too. There have been reports that for certain deals that’s no longer the case. You could always load the gift card(s) to your cart, using the steps above to see if the discount is given for a particular gift card purchase.

This can be used, for example, to save on a Netflix gift card that can be loaded to your account, effectively saving you on your Netflix subscription costs.

Or, to save on purchases from any other retailer from which you’ll be purchasing goods or services.

You can see all the gift cards Amazon offers at this link.

Just make sure the specific savings are actually deducted from your total before purchasing any gift cards with these credit cards promo deals!

A Caution

Be VERY CAREFUL to limit the number of points used to pay.

It can be easy to mistakenly use all points in your rewards account to pay, which would lower your price-to-pay significantly, but completely wipe out your valuable rewards points balance.

As we mentioned before, it’s best to use the least amount of points necessary to trigger these types of deals.

So when checking out, be sure you’re NOT using all your points to pay unless that’s what you really want to do.
