• This offer is for 30% off (up to a $30 total discount) on the purchase of eligible products. To redeem, Eligible Card Members must first activate the offer, then apply the promotion at checkout for a purchase of eligible products using Membership Rewards points for at least a portion of the purchase. Eligible Card Members are U.S. American Express Card Members with a eligible Card that earns Membership Rewards points and is linked to their Amazon Site account through the Shop with Points enrollment process.

• If any of the products in your order are returned, subject to Amazon’s return policy, you will receive a refund of the amount charged to your Card, subject to Amazon’s refund policy. If you would like the Membership Rewards points returned to your Card Account instead of a refund, you must contact American Express within 60 days of receipt of the credit.

Tips & Ideas

These offers are targeted, so you might see a different version of the above offers, or you might not see one at all.

Be sure to check what discount you’re actually given when applying the requisite number of Membership Rewards to your order. My targeted offer has a headline rate of 40% off (as per the screenshot above), but in two other locations on the page it says the discount is 30% with a max discount of $30. As it turns out, my offer is indeed only giving 30% off.

If you get an offer requiring that you redeem 1,428 points, you might actually need to redeem 1,429 points. That takes off $10 which would normally be a poor use of Membership Rewards points, but in this case you’re getting an additional discount which makes it more worthwhile.
