Right now, Amazon is on fire with offering some amazing money saving opportunities when you link your Amex Membership Reward to your account and use just 1 point towards your purchase! As of right now there are three different promotions which will allow you to ultimately save $80! Unfortunately though, these are targeted offers so you’ll have to see if you are eligible. Make sure to check all three on every account you have! And the best part, they stack!
Promotion #1: $25 Coupon on a $50+ Purchase
This is a new promotion that just came out where no promotion code is needed, but you must save the coupon to your account. This promotion will automatically give you a $25 discount on a $50 or more purchase.
Steps to take advantage:
- Link your American Express card to your Amazon account here.
- Go to this Amazon page and see if you are eligible. If so, click the yellow “Click here to qualify” button.
- Shop at Amazon.com and add $50 worth of products (which must be sold and shipped by Amazon.com) to your Shopping card. Many merchant gift cards work as well, so you can go ahead and search for merchant gift cards here.
- On the payment page, select your linked Membership Rewards earning credit card. At the bottom of the payment page you’ll see all your linked accounts where you can use points (Chase and Amex). Select your American Express Membership Rewards Points account and enter the number of points you want to use towards your purchase. Since I do not like redeeming my points at Amazon (due to the low redemption value), I entered just 1 cent which means 1 point will be applied. For the promotion to apply, the minimum amount required is only 1 point! Do not do full points as it is not a good value!
- On the checkout page, you’ll see the 1 point applied and the $25 taken off. No promotion code needed!
Promotion #2: $25 Promotion Code on a $50+ Purchase
This promotion has been around since the beginning of the year and is set to expire on December 31, 2017 or until 80,000 people use it. As of June when I applied the promo to my account, it still worked. This is a promotional code where you must apply AMEX17EVER at checkout.
Steps to take advantage:
- Link your American Express card to your Amazon account here.
- Shop at Amazon.com and add $50 worth of products (which must be sold and shipped by Amazon.com) to your Shopping card. Many merchant gift cards work as well, so you can go ahead and search for merchant gift cards here.
- On the payment page, select your linked Membership Rewards earning credit card. At the bottom of the payment page you’ll see all your linked accounts where you can use points (Chase and Amex). Select your American Express Membership Rewards Points account and enter the number of points you want to use towards your purchase. Since I do not like redeeming my points at Amazon (due to the low redemption value), I entered just 1 cent which means 1 point will be applied. For the promotion to apply, the minimum amount required is only 1 point! Do not do full points as it is not a good value!
- On the checkout page, enter code AMEX17EVER and you’ll see the 1 point applied and the $25 taken off.
Promotion #3: $30 Promotion Code on a $60+ Purchase
This promotion was launched for Amazon Prime Day and although Prime Day is over they extended the promotional code. You must apply AMEX17PRIME at checkout.
Steps to take advantage:
- Link your American Express card to your Amazon account here.
- Shop at Amazon.com and add $60 worth of products (which must be sold and shipped by Amazon.com) to your Shopping card. Many merchant gift cards work as well, so you can go ahead and search for merchant gift cards here.
- On the payment page, select your linked Membership Rewards earning credit card. At the bottom of the payment page you’ll see all your linked accounts where you can use points (Chase and Amex). Select your American Express Membership Rewards Points account and enter the number of points you want to use towards your purchase. Since I do not like redeeming my points at Amazon (due to the low redemption value), I entered just 1 cent which means 1 point will be applied. For the promotion to apply, the minimum amount required is only 1 point! Do not do full points as it is not a good value!
- On the checkout page, enter code AMEX17PRIME and you’ll see the 1 point applied and the $30 taken off.
The best thing about these coupons and promotional codes is that they can stack! Although, you might only be eligible for one promotion code to apply during a single transaction. I have already one of the promotional codes awhile ago so I am not able to test everything out myself.
For the promotional code offers (#2 and #3), you might only be eligible for one, not both (or maybe neither). For some of the Amex Membership Reward promos, they’ll only work if you haven’t used a similar promotion in the past 24 months. With that being said, in the past, Amazon customer service has been very generous and has manually applied offers to accounts that were not eligible, so it is worth a try to see if it works this time as well! Directions on contacting customer service and getting this applied are similar to this past post (just keep in mind that the coupon code and discount used in the prior post is for an old promotion – make sure to give customer service the information listed in this blog post).

In the last option #3, you seem a bit mixed up, you first write $30 off a $50 order then explain you need $60 then say that $25 will be taken off, you should definitely rewrite the last option (#3) doesn’t make much sense.
