[Expired] [Ends Tomorrow] Amazon: Get 20% Off on Amazon when Using 1 Membership Rewards Point (Max $50 Discount)

Update 12/30/19: This deal ends tomorrow, report of a reddit user being able to use this discount multiple times.

Update 12/3/19: Offer has been extended through 12/31. The 20%/$10 Discover deal has been extended as well. Working for new people to activate and working at checkout for those who’ve already activated this previously. Not sure if it’s working for anyone a second time for those who’ve already used it.

Update 12/2/19: Last day for this offer.

Update 11/7/19: One reader had the 20% offer, used that and then checked the following day and also had the $20 off $100+ offer. Worth checking after your first offer to see if you have a second offer as well. Hat tip to reader KT

The Fine Print

Other Deals

There are a few other similar deals shop with points deals on Amazon. We’ve written about these in the past, and they are still active.

Get $15 off $50 deal with Citi ThankYou points (Our Original Post)

Get $15 off $60 when you use at least 1 Chase Ultimate Rewards point (Our Original Post)

Most of these deals expire on 12/31/19 while the two 20% deals expire on 12/2/19.

F.A.Q’s

Do you need prime to do this deal?

I got it on my Prime accounts, and not on my non-Prime accounts, but I believe it’s working for some people without Prime as well. Might depend if it’s a highly-used Amazon account.

Why isn’t it working for me?

This offer is targeted, but you can check these things:

Make sure you’ve activated the offer first.
Make sure your Membership Rewards account is linked to your Amazon account (do that here).
Make sure you’re applying at least one Membership Rewards point at checkout.
Try removing all of your Membership Rewards cards, then adding one back and linking it again. (original post)
Bonus option: You can try removing all credit cards on your Amazon account apart from one Membership Rewards card. This has worked in the past, so maybe it’ll work for this.

Can you use this across multiple accounts?

It should work once on each account. Hard to know for certain that Amazon won’t have a problem with that.

Can I pay with my Amazon gift card balance in conjunction with Shop with Points?

Yes. Check out the post How to Use an Amazon Gift Card with a Shop-with-Points Order for 3 methods:

Gift card balance is less than the purchase amount.
Apply a gift card and it ‘unlocks’ your gift card balance.
Set the points card as your default payment method.

Can I use the 20% across a bunch of small orders until I hit $50?

Yes, that’s worked for me in previous offers.

Our Verdict

The 20% off deal is obviously better due to the higher $50 savings potential. Stack these deals with this Amex Offer for $15/1,500 with $75 purchase if you were targeted for that deal and haven’t yet used it.

This deal works on third party gift cards, but presumably not Amazon or Visa gift cards. Samples gift cards available on Amazon:

Hey Guys! Could someone explain how to find these offers? Are they through Amex, Chase etc or are they through Amazon? I’ve never seen one of these and find it super cool. Did you guys get targeted through email offers? Any help would be super awesome.

So far, I have taken advantage of this offer on 6 of my accounts and it is still showing up on 3 of my new accounts. Love these offers! 😀

Tried this and got both the 20% off of $50 and $20 off $100 offers. Activated both of them and bought something for $150. Both offers applied to the order to save me $30.

Does any of these Amazon points offers (UR, MR, TY, Discover)work with Amazon gift cards sold by “ACI Gift Cards, Inc”. I believe it used to work for those Amazon gift cards in the past.
I tried now, but it does not seem to work. Am i missing anything ?

I’m targeted for three of those, but cant find any third party gift cards useful and many items I want to buy are not sold by amazon

Only works for third party gift cards (e.g. Starbucks, Best Buy, iTunes, etc). Does not work for Amazon’s own gift cards, nor – I believe – for Visa gift cards.

Is there any problem with activating several of these offers, then leaving them for Black Friday? Any problem, I mean, other than an offer’s expiration date or might have a dollar cap across all customers.) In other words, does putting activating any of these offers cause other offers to be removed from your account?

They should all be saved concurrently.

I activated this 20% offers. But I’m only seeing $30 off. I asked CS. they told me I have two offers, 30 off 60 and 20 off 100, but I cannot use them on a single purchase. They are not willing to give me any compensation either.
