Save 30% or 40% on Your Amazon Purchase with This American Express Promo
Thanks to the American Express Membership Rewards program, targeted individuals will be able to use as little as $0.01 of your Amex Membership Rewards points to save either 30% or 40% on your Amazon purchase.
Again, this promo is targeted. Some will receive the 30% off deal, others the 40% off deal while some will not receive either.
You just need to check.
How It Works
First, you need to have your American Express Membership Rewards earning card added as a payment method to your Amazon Wallet.
Then, if you haven’t already, you need to link your American Express Membership Rewards earning card to Amazon’s Shop with Points program.
Membership Rewards earning cards include:
- Amex EveryDay
- Amex EveryDay Preferred
- American Express Gold

Additional Promo Info
This is a limited time offer that will end at the earlier of 6/30/2020 or when 12.000 customers have redeemed the offer.
It’s important to remember, only items “shipped and sold by Amazon.com” are eligible for the savings deal. Luckily, many products fall into this category.
Just look on a product’s page, usually near the “add to cart” section or “deliver to” section for the wording “Ships from and sold by Amazon.com Services LLC.”
And if you’ve recently added an American Express Membership Rewards earning card to your Amazon account, it may take a few days to show this promo…if you’re targeted.
If you’re not targeted when you first check, try again in a few days, new accounts seem to be added periodically.
And, some have had success getting the offer to show by removing the Amex card from Amazon and adding it back as a payment method attached to the Pay with Points program.
This promo has a maximum benefit of a $50 savings.
Purchases
While any product “shipped from and sold by Amazon.com” will qualify for this deal, it’s good to know many gift cards qualify, too.
Meaning, you can effectively save 30% or 40% on your Netflix, Starbucks, Whole Foods, Best Buy and more, purchases by buying a gift card, using this savings deal and then using the gift card to make your purchase at the retailer you’ve chosen.
I’ve used similar Amazon / Amex deals in the past to save 50% on my Netflix subscription costs. I’ve bought a $60 Netflix gift card for $30, loaded the gift card to my Netflix account and had it pay $60 worth of monthly charges. Not a bad deal.
Wrap Up
These American Express / Amazon savings promotions come along fairly regularly.
And they’re a great way to save on Amazon purchases.
Just keep in mind, items must be shipped from and sold by Amazon.com to qualify.
But with a little imagination, it’s pretty easy to find ways to save on even your everyday purchases with these promos.
