Many of the credit card offers that appear on this site are from credit card companies from which we receive financial compensation. This compensation may impact how and where products appear on this site (including, for example, the order in which they appear). However, the credit card information that we publish has been written and evaluated by experts who know these products inside out. We only recommend products we either use ourselves or endorse. This site does not include all credit card companies or all available credit card offers that are on the market. See our advertising policy here where we list advertisers that we work with, and how we make money. You can also review our credit card rating methodology.
We may be compensated when you click on product links, such as credit cards, from one or more of our advertising partners. Terms apply to the offers below.

American Express and Amazon are offering targeted discounts to customers once they link their personal American Express cards to Amazon. The discounts range in amount but could be very significant depending on your targeted offer.
The first thing you’ll want to do is head over to the dedicated Amazon page to see if you were targeted. There you can enter all your various personal Amex cards to see if any come up under the offer. If a card is targeted, you need to activate the offer, so be sure to do that before making any purchases.
The savings all depends on your targeted offer, but many consumers report anywhere between 10% and 50% savings, usually with a maximum of $80 discount. As you can see, that’s quite a discount and is the reason you should check your eligibility.
When you add products to your cart, be sure they are sold and shipped by Amazon (not all products on Amazon are). Third-party products are not eligible.
When you check out, you’ll be given the option to pay with Amex Membership Rewards points. You need to pay with at least 1 point to activate the discount. While it is possible to use more than 1 point, it is recommended to use no more than a single point since your points can be far more valuable when transferred to a travel partner. Once you apply the 1 point to your order, you should see the discount reflect.
Hot Tip:This deal ends at 11:59 p.m. PT on September 30th, 2023, or after 17,833 customers have redeemed the offer, whichever happens first, which is frequently the latter.
Most consumers do some type of shopping on Amazon regularly and this new offer to pay with Amex points and receive a discount can provide significant savings. Be sure to check all of your Amex cards to see if you’ve been targeted. And act quickly, since this discount will be gone after 17,833 consumers have redeemed their offer.
