One of the best things about having an American Express Membership Rewards card is the opportunity to save money on Amazon purchases. Many times throughout the year, if you use just a single Membership Reward point towards your purchase, you can save quite a bit of money. With Amazon Prime Day currently underway, a new offer just appeared allowing you to save even more money on your purchase.
With this offer, you can save $20 off of an $80 purchase. This particular promotion is the same as the existing $5 off $30 and $10 off $50 offer, but this is now a new variation with more folks targeted. You’ll have to check here to see if you are eligible and activate the offer.

Steps to save money with Amazon:
- If you haven’t already linked your American Express card to your Amazon account, you can do that here. (TIP: If you are not targeted for this offer, unlink your card and relink to see if that triggers the promotion).
- Activate the offer in your Amazon account
- Shop at Amazon.com to receive your savings. Note: All products must be sold and shipped by Amazon.com.
- 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 additional savings — whether it is $5 off, $10 off or $20 off — depending on the offer you are eligible for. No promotion code needed!
More saving opportunities
If you are not eligible for this offer — or even if you are — there are more credit card saving opportunities, both with Amex and many other credit cards.
