Do correct me if I'm wrong, but this math seems off to my eyes.


Amazon points are worth 1:1 when redeeming for statement credit (essentially $0.01 per point)


Whereas the AmEx Platinum's points are only worth $0.006 per point when redeeming points for statement credit.


So for statement credit, this promotion is only marginally better than your Amazon CC (not quite the 10% back…only about 5.4 pts per dollar when the point conversion rate is taken into consideration).




However, if you're redeeming for flights, hotels, or giftcards….then yes the AmEx points would be advantageous.
At least for Amex Schwab, you can redeem point at 1.1 ratio - 9 points are worth 9.9cents. I suspect that most people who have card with membership reward points have a way of cashing points at 1cent or above - else why bother with Amex.

Quote from xxx :
I was planning to do the same, but the terms said: "Excludes corporate gift card and custom-designed gift card purchases". So I wanted someone else to confirm that it worked first. Did you do the reload as three separate $40 reloads? And you didn't do it by buying a digital Amazon gift card, right?
Reloads do count. They're not corporate gift cards or custom designed gift cards.

Yes, I did three separate $40 reloads. Did the first, confirmed the points and then did two more.

Perhaps you didn't read the whole comment?


I acknowledged the travel bit at the end of the statements.
