Update 8/23/20: More people targeted.
Update 7/15/20: Extended again until 9/30/20. Most seem to be seeing the lower offer now of 20%, up to $2o.
Update 7/5/20: Extended again until 7/15/20.
Update 5/13/20: Deal is back and valid until 6/30/20. Worth checking even if you’ve done it before. Some are seeing a smaller maximum discount or a discount of only 10% instead of 20%.
The Offer
Direct link to offer (our affiliate link here and below)
- Amazon is offering 20% off your order (max $50 discount) when you use at least 1 Discover point (cashback bonus) at checkout. Maximum discount of $50 applies (some people have a lower maximum discount). Here’s how to do this deal:
- Link your Discover account to your Amazon account if you haven’t already
- Click to Activate this offer to your Amazon account here
- Add items to your cart
- Proceed to checkout & select your Discover card as your payment method
- Select the amount of Discover Points you’d like to use for the purchase (must use points for at least $.01 of the purchase)
- Discount will apply at check out
The Fine Print
- This is a limited offer. The promotion will end on the earlier of (a) 11:59 PT on
4/20/20207/15/2020, or (b) the time at which offers worth $2,000,000 have been redeemed
Our Verdict
This is similar to the American Express bonus for 20% off. There is also another Discover offer for $10/$20 off $50. You might need to use that offer first if you haven’t already. If you’re not targeted then follow these instructions. If you found this post helpful please considering retweeting it on Twitter.
Hat tip to reader George P
Post history:
- Update 5/7/20: This stopped working earlier today, it’s now working again. Not sure if it hit the redemption limit or if there was another issue.
- Update 5/2/20: If you did the deal in April it’s worth checking to see if you’re eligible again as some readers are eligible for a second time.
- Update 5/1/20: Deal has been extended until 5/11.
- Update 4/30/20: Deal ends today. I don’t think it’s still available to save, but it’s still working for those who have it saved already. (The MR deal ends today as well.)
- Update 4/21/20: Extended through April 30, 2020 (previously it showed 4/20/20 expiration). Some additional people finding themselves targeted now as well.
Maximum is now $20, title and post could be fixed…
Chuck
I think some people have varying offers don’t they?
Very possible, in that case I’d incorporate that info somewhere in the post. Maximum amount of $50 would make it worth for me, maximum amount of $20 wouldn’t. It took.me a few steps until checkout to figure that out, but if this was noted in the post maybe I would have looked for T&C to begin with. In other words, it would be nice to know from the post itself that the maximum amount is YMMV. You can do whatever you want with my feedback.
Added to make it clearer
Why am I never targeted for these? Is it because I already shop at amazon a ton and these deals are to try to get infrequent amazon shoppers in the door?
How are you able to use this to buy VGC?
I only get the bonus if I buy products sold and shipped by Amazon
Amex is doing 1 point, 40% off, 50 maximum.
So looks like the max discount total for me is $20 as well. Got $12.28 discount on a previous order and now when I try putting another order worth $50, the discount amount is showing as $7.72. Still a decent deal.
This might be a different offer but when I clicked this link, it shows an offer of 20% discount with maximum $20 and ending date of 9/30
Fixed, thanks
This appears to be dead. I successfully activated this offer weeks ago. Of course waited until the last minute to use it- but its no longer showing at checkout and I get an error message when I try to activate the offer again.
It’s now $20 to the maximum. not $50.
You’re seeing $20 at the link in the post? https://www.amazon.com/b/ref=as_li_ss_tl?node=21150774011&_encoding=UTF8&tag=d09c7-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=2e05249a873913f2395625ba0925ccf3&camp=1789&creative=9325
I don’t recall what the link said when I activated it a week ago (and if I click the link now it says I’m not eligible even though I already activated) but I am also seeing $20 as max discount when trying to buy items.
I also see 20% off, $20 max with this link. Expires 9/30/2020
Is this still working? Getting a message saying unable to activate promo code
A bit late in replying, but try going to checkout and apply points and see if it works. Usually that error means you might have already activated it previously.
Would this work on pre-orders, or no, since the card isn’t charged until later?
I’d think it works since the discount shows at checkout.
