Update:The offer mentioned below has expired and is no longer available.

If you’re a frequent Amazon shopper, check your American Express accounts to see if you were targeted for this latest Amex Offer.

You could receive 1,000 Membership Rewards points for spending $200 or more at Amazon, which could be an easy way to pick up some extra points with relatively no effort.

Here are the details.

Amex Offer Details

This offer is fairly straightforward: when you spend $200 or more at Amazon, you will get 1,000 Membership Rewards points. The validity dates for this offer cover the Prime Day period of July 11 and 12.

This offer is available through the Amex Offers program. To see if you’re eligible, simply log into your Amex online account or mobile app, click on the Amex Offers tab, and then look through the list of offers to see if you see this specific one. If you are targeted, make sure to click Add to Card to enroll.

Remember, not all users will be targeted. If you have multiple cards, you may want to see if the offer is on any other cards.

For this offer, there are several things you need to be aware of:

  • This offer expires on August 21, 2023. To play it safe, you should make your purchases several days before so it has a chance to settle and post.
  • The offer is only available online, and can’t be used in any of Amazon’s physical stores. To ensure your Amex card gets charged correctly, you might want to save it in your Amazon profile.
  • Like most Amex Offers, you can purchase several things over different transactions to exceed the $200 total spent.
  • Keep in mind that returns can void your received points, so if you’re someone who tends to return Amazon purchases, you may want to purchase well over $200 to account for any refunds.
Bottom Line:

If you spend $200 exactly, the 1,000 Membership Rewards points is like getting $10 back based on our valuations, which would be around a 5% savings. While not terribly significant, it’s a nice little way to beef up your rewards balance.

Final Thoughts

Be sure to check all of your American Express cards to see if you’re eligible to earn 1,000 Membership Rewards points for spending $200 or more at Amazon. This Amex Offer can make your everyday shopping that much more rewarding!
