Amazon: Amex Membership Rewards Cardholders: Pay w/ Points, Get Expired

Update: This offer is still alive as of 7/13, 1:25 a.m. PST. They must have gone with the 100,000 redemption rather than the 7/11 expiration.

Amex points are only worth 0.7 cents per point at Amazon. At best, this offer increases the value to 1 cent per point, and value goes back down below 1 cent the more you spend over $100. To maximize value, buy something around $100 or less. Otherwise, you should use your Amex points for a gift card or travel miles where they are worth a full 1 cent per point.

By invitation only, if you get everything else correct yet still not getting the discount, you are simply not invited/targeted for this offer. Will only work with cards that earn membership rewards points, not any cards that earn cash back, points from a travel partner, etc.
