Same here. I didn't read through the thread before linking card and trying to check out applying $20 in points, and saw it wanted to devalue $25 cash in points to get that $20 and the promise of a $10 Amazon credit. Exactly what is Amazon trying to do here other than scam people into thinking this is some sort of deal. It's a net $5 Amazon credit down the road, but they are apparently hoping to have enough suckers "set it and forget it" and customers lose 20% every time they redeem rewards at Amazon. I'll bank them for the occasional "real" gift card promos and/or look into the AA Thank You redemption deals.

I have Amazon credit as good as cash since I shop so much at Amazon. Using that value, you're getting 1.2 cents per point, which is a good redemption.

Weird. My Citi card doesn't show up as one of my cards linked to amazon when I click the link in OPs post. But when I go to the page to add my citi card and log into the Citi website, it says it's already added. Pretty lame.

At a 1.25 to 1 redemption rate, as someone mentioned earlier, this $20 costs you $25 in points at standard ThankYou redemption rates for GCs. For that you get a bonus $10 in amzn money. So, for $25 in points value, you get $30 of amzn spending.

You can look at it as a 20% bonus on your $25 of points value spent ($5 bonus on $25) or more accurately you should look at this as 16.67% savings on a $30 spend at amzn.

Around Thanksgiving, again as others have mentioned, some GCs are discounted at 20% off their face value. If you shop at these stores, that represents a greater savings, but I've never seen stores like amzn or wmt included in those GC discounts.

Conclusion: If you see a 16.67% discount at amzn as more valuable to you than a 20% discount at another store usually included in the ThankYou GC discounts around black friday, then by all means, redeem this. If you prefer to save the additional 3.33% on GCs at one of these other stores, then save your points to redeem at that time. Just don't redeem more than the $20 in points necessary to earn this bonus at amzn or your savings starts to diminish.

Am I understanding this promotion correctly? With my Citi Double Cash card, I can exchange 2500 points for $25.00 cash back. As part of this promotion, I can exchange 2500 points for $20 in credit at Amazon and get a $10 Amazon gift card. In other words, for $25 worth of points, I can get $30 in Amazon credit. That seems like a fair deal. I can also exchange another 15,625 points (worth $156.25 cash back) for $125 in Amazon credit and get a $15 Amazon gift card. In other words, for $156.25 worth of points, I can get $140 in Amazon credit. Wouldn't the smart thing to do be to go for the $10 Amazon gift card and leave the $15 Amazon gift card on the table?
Yes, that's exactly what I plan on doing (stopping after I've redeemed enough points for just the $10 GC).
