My old Amex Blue no longer allows me to redeem points outside their site. I was very unhappy when I found out while trying to pay with points at Best Buy. Maybe it's time to close that account even if it had no annual fee. I have some 40K points just sitting around. I used to love these offers.

Thanks for posting. I only got 15% with $10 min in MMR redemption but it's better than nothing.

Amex offers are getting worse and worse. I am cancelling my Amex this year... Cost outweighs the effort of chasing advertised minimal benefits

Your points will be applied at checkout but we were not able to activate the promo code. If you have already activated this code, your discount will be applied at checkout.. How can I see if I received this offer?

We put our can in a tight Tupperware container to reduce oxygenation and in the refrigerator to reduce spoilage. Might try that?

What sort of Amex credit cards are normally getting these offers? Any free cards or mostly with a annual fee? I don't have a Amex cc yet so looking to get one now
Get two, one with rewards points and one with rewards dollars, you will get different offer.

thanks - for 40% off - this seems to be a yearly thing when it pops up... it'll revert back to 15 or even 10% off after the 40% gets used
for the general 2CPP standard most try and go by is $28.58 so essentially anyone who doesnt get 40% off, it's $14.29 at 1CPP for 15% off

Got the 40% of with 1429 MR points used. First time in years with both the Plat and Gold cards. Just in time! Bought some replacement Philips Hue bulbs I've been needing. Thank you!

Quote from Pravianti :
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.

Looking for education: for what use(s) do you get 1429 equaling $29 worth of points?
For example I don't fly.

Thanks
