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).

I usually get the 10% but this time I got 30% off. Used it to get a $98 tire inflator I had in my cart.

Thank OP!

So this doesn't work if you have the Amex Blue Cash Everyday card because that card doesn't utilize a points system, but "Rewards Dollars," correct?

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!
Don't fall for it! That's just to confirm you are at home for his hit squad! Wink
Completely kidding, of course. Wink

I supposedly got the 40% off/$40 offer, but I was not seeing the $40 discount at checkout ($100 gift card).
Idiot that I am, I almost clicked the final button because I got over-excited that I was able to pay partially with 1 AMEX point lol.

Is there a trick to getting this to work with gift cards?

Obviously the process is breaking down which indicates the AMEX B-squad is now in charge of the program. T&C failing to update, incorrect percentages, people get the qualified only to not being able to get it to work, not letting you use your points where you clearly have points available.

Quote from lazzlazz :
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.
yeah that's new to you; we've had it happen to us several times. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Not all giftcards work. Like you can't use it on Amazon giftcards. Here are two I bought in the past that worked:
Netflix: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...=UTF8&th=1
Panda: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...=UTF8&th=1

Both say the seller is "ACI gitcards, an Amazon company" and I know there are others that they sell. I just buy the amount/mix I need to hit the max discount (i.e., 2x $30 Netflix, 1 $25 Panda, a $25 McDonalds).

The other thing that happened to me the last time I got this offer was that I HAD to use points in an amount equal to the discount. Like for example, I got 15% off up to $15, but in order to get that 15% discount, I HAD to use $15 worth of points. If I used anything less than $15 of rewards points, I got no discount.

And this time, even though it says I got 15%, my discount is only 10% no matter how many points I use.

When I click the link it shows me that I'm eligible for 15% up to $15. I activated 15% but the checkout shows 10% Amex Promo. Has anyone faced this?

you're confused.
all 3rd party gift cards sold by amazon work except their own gift cards and reloads.
some offers require you to use a minimum amount of points.
one of the 15% offers is broken and it only gives you a 10%.
dozens if not hundreds of us have mentioned this and/or experienced this over the years.
nothing new here.

enjoy the 10% discount, it's better than nothing (for those items you simply cannot find on deal) but barely.
