This offer seems to work on any gift card sold by "ACI Gift Cards, LLC., an Amazon company", digital or physical. If it's sold by "Amazon.com Services LLC," it won't work. For instance, if you're looking to buy a PlayStation gift card, the discount applies to the physical version (sold by ACI), but not the digital (sold by Amazon.com Services).

Quote from guyrelax :
terrible deal. Do the math people. They are valuing the points at something like .007 to start with. Even with the discount its awful. In general a good exchange is .01 per point. Then there are bonus categories for some cards where you get 20-40% more back for the points. They make it confusing to rip you off. Like this deal
Okay, I'll do the math:

Okay so I got the 30% off max of $30 eligibility which means:
- I'll have to add 143 points from my card as a minimum for payment in Amazon as a requirement. This equals $1.00 in credit for the purchase.
- To solidify that, Amazon itself says my 60,946 points equals $426.62.
- This means that each point is worth 0.7 cents, or 0.0069 dollars.
- At a hypothetical max payout of $30 with the use of 143 points, that means each point is worth approximately 21 cents instead of 0.7, or 30x more value for each point.
- Paying 143 points for any kind of discount of this proportion, which maxes out at 30 dollars (for this instance), is a deal.

How about you do the math?

Go checkout to see whether you really got 15% off or just 10% off as most people encounter

Same here only showing 10% way to go Amazon. Screw you Bezos!

p.s. He just called me from his yacht and apologized for the inconvenience and said he will have the web guys look into it!

How about you do the math?
Ummm, have you tried using $0.01 in MR instead of $1.00? $0.01 will deduct one single point, you get whatever percentage you got off and pay the rest with your Amex card. Even better usage of your MR points, unless specified a penny in MR usually works. Some offers dictate a minimum amount of points, this one doesn't. Save your points, only use one.

This is what I just did, thanks. Typed in .01 into the Amex for conversion, and paid $59.99 for a $120 gift card

Lol
I saw that too. Someone forgot to update the date from the last time this was available...

It made you use 143 points? I've never had to use a minimum # of points. I've used 1 or 10 in the past. That seems new.
