Useful takeaways from this story.

Targeted offers can reduce eligible Amazon purchases by roughly 15%–50% and are valid through Dec. 31, 2026 for accounts that receive the promotion.

You must link an eligible American Express Membership Rewards card to your Amazon account, activate the targeted promotion, and use Membership Rewards points at checkout to get the discount.

Offer applies only to items sold by Amazon.com (look for “sold by Amazon Digital Services LLC”), excludes digital content and third-party sellers, and may have maximum dollar-off limits per account.

# What this offer is

# How to use the promotion Follow these steps if your account is targeted:

  • Link an eligible Amex Membership Rewards card to your Amazon account.
  • Activate the targeted promotion (look for it in your Amazon account offers or Amex promotions).
  • Add eligible items to your cart. Eligible items are sold directly by Amazon.com (check the product page for "sold by Amazon Digital Services LLC").
  • At checkout, choose to redeem Membership Rewards points and apply the promotion code. The savings should appear on the final checkout page.

# Redemption requirements and limits Some targeted accounts now see a minimum redemption requirement. Two common minimums reported are:

  • $5 worth of points = 714 Membership Rewards points
  • $10 worth of points = 1,429 Membership Rewards points
  • Offer applies only to purchases where Membership Rewards points are used for at least part of the transaction and the promotion code is applied at checkout.
  • Digital content is excluded.
  • Limit one promotion code per Membership Rewards-eligible card.
  • Amazon reserves the right to cancel or modify the offer.

# Is this a good value? Redeeming Amex Membership Rewards points on Amazon generally yields less value than transferring points to airline and hotel partners. That said, the promotion can deliver strong dollar savings if you redeem the minimum points required to trigger a large percent discount. For example, if the offer gives 25%–50% off a planned purchase and only requires redeeming $5–$10 worth of points, the effective cash savings can be worthwhile.

If your targeted promotion demands 1,429 points for only a small percentage off, you may get better value by saving those points for transfer partners. Check the required point redemption and the size of the discount before confirming the order.

# Practical tips

  • Confirm the product page lists "sold by Amazon Digital Services LLC" to ensure eligibility.
  • Redeem the minimum points required to trigger the discount, not more, unless you specifically want to reduce out-of-pocket cost further.
  • Watch for the per-card limit and the promotional expiration date (Dec. 31, 2026).
