DON'T WASTE YOUR POINTS: Do not use points to pay for all of your order. AmEx points are worth only 0.7 cents on Amazon, but they're worth 1 cent for things like travel. If you pay all $25+tax with AmEx, you are using ~$38 worth of points. You should only use 1 point and charge the rest to your AmEx.
$0.01 (1 point) is enough to trigger the offer.

There are a couple tricks to get this to work if it says you are not eligible for the offer.
  • Go here http://www.amazon.com/membershiprewards and link your Amex account to Amazon.
  • Search for the tablet you want manually and add it to your cart.
  • When you check out, make sure you apply your Amex membership points BEFORE applying the coupon. - Let me clarify this: after you apply the points, do NOT apply the coupon at the same page, just click the next or whatever button to go to the next page, then apply the promotion code on that page!

List of Amex cards that use MR [americanexpress.com]

I couldn't believe that neither my SPG or Blue Cash Preferred counted.... bummer, good on all others who could partake in the deal!
--->What's not to believe? Isn't it obvious that both of those cards do not have MembershipRewards (MR) Points? SPG = Starwood points, BlueCash = cash.

I got the same message but tried the code anyway and got it to work. Kids HD 8 for $100 after lovely California fee and tax. Will replace an aging Asus 7 that did him justice for 2 years.

Make sure to select the card and add the points before applying the code. Good luck all and thanks OP!
