Our Verdict
This deal is basically 20% off Amazon up to a $50 discount when you use a single Membership Rewards point. It doesn’t seem to work on gift cards unfortunately, but still a fantastic offer. To get the full 20% discount you need to spend $250. I’ll list any interesting items below.
- Nintendo Switch: $299 (cheapest according to CamelCamelCamel, but not sure). After 20% = $250
- Kindle
- Echo Dot (2nd Generation): $44.99 (cheapest has been $40). After 20% = $36
- Amazon Tap: $79.99 (cheapest it’s been) after 20% = $64
- Amazon Gold Box Deals
Remember to stack this with other Amazon deals:
- Amazon Prime: Spend $25+ (Including Giftcards) & Get Free Popcorn
- Free $5 Amazon Credit for Regular Amazon Purchases with Easy Amazon Music Signup [Stacks with Citi Promo + Works on Gift Cards]
- Full list here
You can also get $25 off $50 when you use at least one Membership Rewards point. As always view all of the ways to save money on Amazon here.
Hat tip to perpetualChurner
Got this offer today, and was able to redeem on a whole foods digital gift card.
Shopping for dryer parts and checked here for Amazon deals before placing order. Didn’t come anywhere close to saving $50, but with 20 minutes left, I’ll gladly take a few dollar savings I wasn’t expecting. DoC always comes through (even though I forgot to go back through the affiliate link ).
That’s ok, happy to help!

Nice =)
worked on my wife’s account. worked on steam gift cards.. i need to get myself another AMEX with rewards points, unfortunately i think i’ve already done all the sign up offers for their no annual fee cards. 🙁
Still considering getting Fire TV with this offer… I just wish they would bring back some good bundles, not just the one with the antenna…
damnit amex aint showing me no love… often get this dreaded msg for these promos: Thank you for your interest in this offer. Unfortunately, you are not eligible for this offer.
Do you have your Amex card and Membership rewards connected to your Amazon account? I wasn’t eligible for this offer until a couple days after I added my card.
Yep I am now. Just added it over the wkend tho when I realized my old AX cards weren’t enrolled for pay w MRs. I’ll wait another cpl days, hopefully it’ll kick in then but so far, nada.
Sonos is coming out with updated speakers. They now have Alexis integrated in them. I was able to get a Sonos: One for ~$170, coupon took off $44 ($40 + $4 tax).
I’m having trouble getting the discount. Was approved for this and the one for $25 off of $50 but when I went to check out with roughly $82 worth of stuff in the cart, it stated my discount would be for $9.99. SO I’m not getting the $25 off of $50 or the 20%.
Any thoughts on how to fix this? Thanks!
The 20% off only applies to items that are sold and shipped by Amazon. If your discount was $9.99 that would imply that there were only $49.95 worth of items in your cart that qualified. I’m not sure the $25 off $50 offer stacks with the 20% off one, but even if it did, it sounds like you were $0.05 short of reaching $50 sold/shipped by Amazon so that deal wouldn’t apply here anyways.
Hope that helps!
I tried the 3 echoes but it wouldn’t let me stack both $50 discounts. Originally I entered the echo promo code and it showed $50 off, then when I applied 1 MR point it showed $50 off but this time w/ different verbiage (20% off Amex or similar). Tried several times, no go, so bought them anyway w/ the echo promo. Still a nice savings and I still have the Amex discount to use on whatever. Thx FM! 😊
Does anyone else see this offer? https://www.amazon.com/b?node=17143338011
Up to $40 off a Fire Tablet if you apply at least one MR point.
Oops, I’m sorry.. with a little more searching, I realize this is really old news.. haha.
Yup, old deal and was better when they were on sale as well.
