[Expired] [Repost] Amazon $30 off $60 when Using MR Points, Works on Gift Cards [Targeted]

Deal is available again, more information here.

Deal has now expired, for more ways to save on Amazon click here.

Update 11/21/18: Deal is still active. Scattering of reports of it working a second time, but I couldn’t get it to work. Hat tip to Deals We Like

Update 9/18/18: A few people are getting this offer to work now, with a few reports of it working even if used before. Can’t hurt to check. Offer is still showing the 11/30/18 expiration date.

Update 6/6/18: This offer was extended through November, probably with a new batch of people being targeted. It seems that those who’ve used it already can not do it again.

Update 04/30/18: Seems like another batch of people are now targeted. Deal is even better if you were targeted for the American Express spend $50 & get $20/2,000 points back. Some tips on how to get targeted for that offer here. Might be a good time to lock in Amazon prime pricing. Update: Apparently after registering you need to wait 24 hours for the promo code to be applicable.

The Fine Print

1. This is a limited time offer. The promotion will end at 11:59 PT on June 1, 2018 November 30, 2018. The promotion code will expire concurrently. Amazon.com reserves the right to cancel or modify this offer at any time.

3. Offer applies only to the purchase of at least $60 of eligible products, where Membership Rewards points are used for at least a portion of the purchase and the promotion code is entered at checkout. Taxes, gift-wrap, and shipping and handling charges do not apply when determining minimum purchase amount.
4. The maximum benefit you may receive from this offer is $30 per eligible Membership Rewards enrolled Card.
5. Offer is not available to American Express Membership Rewards eligible cards whose points have been previously used for purchases at Amazon.com in the past twelve months. (Note: Multiple reports say that this isn’t being enforced.)

Our Verdict

This deal is working for many people, but not everyone. And it works on third-party gift cards too, both physical and electronic! Probably worth just buying a gift card or some other item now in case it gets used up, but hopefully it’ll last through the holiday shopping season as it’s set to expire on December 31. I’ll also send this out with the Dochotdeals Twitter account in case it doesn’t last for some reason.
