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).

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.
I just ran into this for the first time. Discount wouldn't appear until I entered a minimum number of points. I was ultimately able to get around it by applying enough points to get the discount to show up (around $2 worth), and then changing it back to .01 before checking out.

Quote from kensteele :
Everybody had that same problem early on but I guess Amazon hasn't evolved. Never going to happen to me again, I either write down the details or take a photo or I add it but never again do I turn over responsibility to any retailer because I know they don't care about gcs to begin with.

Amazon doesn't believe in gc numbers which is why the only way to spend them is add them to your account first and take a credit which prevents others from using it. Once you receive a GC for yourself or someone else, there's no reason to hang onto it. They probably don't believe in retaining that info.
I didn't make it clear. It wasn't amazon GC. It was Vudu GC and I didn't need to use it until now and I am not sure if they allowed me to add. Also, I became victim of Google non stop asking to buy storage and hitting GMAIl storage limit and deleted all mail 6 months old without realizing that contained GC. Frown Frown

it's a great deal if you only have to use 1 MR point to get the discount
Yes, that's what you are supposed to do and that's the reason we are here.

It's like saying the S&S savings are only good if you choose Subscribe and Save and clip the coupons.

They nerfed my offer. I activated it Monday for $15 off max...today I went to use it and it was changed to $10 both in cart and on product page.


Note. They did this AFTER I activated it.

Lame!

Confirmed, not eligible

May I ask, why did you choose the Cash option if you are more interested in using rewards points?

Thank you OP!

I picked up a $100 Google Play digital gift card for $69.99. I used 1 Amex rewards point worth $0.01.
Similarly I've bought Apple gift cards.
