I have "Get 40% off (up to $40) eligible products¹ when using a minimum of 1,429 Membership Rewards points."
At 40%, this is probably worth it. But for 15%, at the common valuation of MR points being worth ~2 cents each, it's probably not.
Here's why:
  • 1429 points = $29 worth of points
  • But the Amex/Amazon value = $10, because you only get 0.7 cents per point when using MR on Amazon.
  • So you're basically losing ~$19 worth of value by using 1429 points here (1429 * (0.02-0.007) = 18.57)
Given this, I'd argue that anything less than $19 off is basically losing money, so a "20% off up to $20" is pretty much the breakeven point here.
For people who don't use MR points for travel/hotel stays, it's more like 1 cent per point if they redeem it for a gift card like Home Depot. In that case, the difference between 1 cent and .7 cent per point is much smaller. Your discount just needs to be $4.28 or more to make this deal make sense.

Quote from Hat-Trick :
Cat food is always a good thing to use ANY discount on -- that stuff is so darn expensive, especially decent quality food in cans. I wish more cat food was sold in large cans to bring the cost and WASTE down.
My cat refuses to eat anything unsealed more than half a day ago, so good idea but I'd still be screwed

Good luck to everyone as these seem to be a roll of the dice if you qualify.

Where can you get 2 cents per point for Amex MR?

The 15% is lower than the actual value of the MR rewards points which is annoying.
