Quote from Knightshade :
I got "40% off (max $40) if you use 1428 points"

Is that a good deal? Depends in part on how much value you normally get from Amex points


Math:

To max the 40% with max of $40 you'd want to spend exactly $100

1428 points used at amazon knocks $9.97 off your bill.

So to get $100 in "stuff" you spend 1428 points and $50.03-- so your total "value" out of 1428 points is $49.97... or about 3.5 cents per point.


Which is pretty good if you normally use your Amex points for cash, hotels, or coach airfare.

It's at the very bottom-low end of ok if you normally use your Amex points for business or first class airfare via partner airlines.... I typically beat 3.5c a point for that purpose though (4-6 cents a point is more common) so probably not a deal worth doing in my case but might be for others.

Certainly much worse than the only-spend-1-point discounts.







FWIW you seem to have left out that you get $9.97 off the order for those 1428 points (Amazon redeems them at 0.7 cents a point)... so your net is $21.97 compared to using the points at your 2 cent value otherwise not $12.
I had the same offer. Applied $1.00 in points and got the $40 off.

So it seems the 1,428 is not necessary

I got the minimum 1428 point requirement (I didn't have that much to begin with) but it still let me use 1 point and the discount came off.
Same! Applied. 0.01 towards a $100 gift card for a max discount of $40.

Makes the cpp conversation above pointless haha

You can select that you want to use $10 in points, click continue (discount shows at checkout), go back and edit the points down to $0.01, click continue. It should still show the full $40 discount.

I just did this and got a gift card for $60 while using 1 point.
What was the gift card you got?

Chipotle. I already get 50% off when I go normally due to my job, so this makes it even better.

Slight adjustment to my instructions:

1. Choose payment and type in $10 in points
2. Click continue
3. Go back and adjust points to $0.01 AND make sure the toggle at the bottom of the page is toggled to "Use $40 promotional balance"
4. Click continue

I did this on the mobile app on a 2nd account and can confirm it still works.

Hmmm, didn't work for me. After changing it to $0.01 and continuing, the discount is gone.

They stopped letting you get gift cards a few months ago for these promos and the $10/$15 off offers
