NOTE: the below is just a sample deal, it works with pretty much anything you can buy over the Amex offer threshold at ABT.com. The value here is in the ability to both price match and use the offer.
Another note: please do not ask ABT customer service representatives about the American Express offer; according to the experience of some people in this thread, they don't appear to be very well trained on it and don't know how it works.
Further note: most people in this thread have reported not receiving emails that the offer has been triggered, but it posts anyways.
Step 1: Check your Amex cards for offers. Abt.com currently has $125 cash back offer for a $900+ purchase.
Note: Not every account will have this, hence YMMV! Looks like the offer might also be different for different cardholders, including a $100 off $1,000. Mine expires on 7/31/2026, so if you want to hold out for a potentially even greater price difference, there's that option, as well.
Step 2: Abt.com will price match to Amazon via chat (they will send a secure payment link). Amazon still has it for $899. You do still pay tax on $899. For me (MN) the final price after the cash back posts will be $850.64.
Clarification: I paid $975.64, which will trigger the credit. The $850.64 price will be reflected once the offer posts.
Filler items: if you don't have sales tax, search for "corn bread" or "salsa" ($8-ish). There are also some travel accessories, like luggage locks, for $20.
Step 3: Well, there's not one, really. Abt is a certified Apple reseller, so there are no warranty issues here. Can still add AppleCare and all that.
Applies to other models, as well.

Killer deal for 13", not bad for 15".
