Maximum discount $40."
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 have not been eligible for AMEX deals for a long time. I used to keep my AMEX card in my Amazon account but removed it about a year ago. But I am not eligible either way. Any helpful tips are greatly appreciated.

Ended up ordering from AliExpress same item for 15% cheaper.... hopefully no issues

I do think I recall someone saying that it no longer works with giftcards, which sucks... because it's really hard to find $100 of stuff sold by Amazon that I want/need.

Doesn't matter which card- MR points are a pool you share among all your MR-earning cards- you can use any linked amex card that has MR points to get the discount.
