Update: Deal is now working again. Looks like there is also a landing page for this offer now. Hat tip to Darin.

The Offer
Link Citi ThankYou with Amazon (affiliate links here and below)
- Amazon is offering $15 off $100 (?) when you use at least one Citi ThankYou point with promo code:Â CITITURKEY5
- Here’s how to go about doing this deal:
- (Link your Citi ThankYou account to your Amazon account if you haven’t already; note, you often have to wait 24 hours after registering your card until you can activate the offer)
- Add $100 or more of eligible products shipped and sold by Amazon to your shopping cart
- Proceed to checkout & select your Citi ThankYou card as your payment method
- Select the amount of ThankYou Points you’d like to use for the purchase (we recommend using just 1 point)
- $15 discount will automatically be applied at checkout
- Here’s how to go about doing this deal:
A reader sent in this deal as $15 off $60, but it seems to be working for me as $15 off $100. For example, I added this Ring Video doorbell on sale for $139, and $15 came off at checkout. I was able to get it to work on third-party gift cards as well (but not on Amazon gift cards), main thing is that the item should be shipped and sold by Amazon.
The Fine Print
- Valid until ??
- Only works on items shipped and sold by Amazon
Our Verdict
A reader tipped us off about this deal, and I tried it on my account and got the promo code to work without any problem. It’s not working for everyone, try it out, YMMV.
From playing around, it seems that the code needs $100 minimum order to work. If anyone finds otherwise, let us know. Also, if anyone finds a direct link for this offer, let us know and we’ll add it in. For now, using the promo code does the job.
Three other similar deals:
- Amazon: Get 20% Off When You Use At Least One Membership Rewards Point ($100 Maximum Discount) [YMMV]
- [YMMV] Amazon: Use One Chase Ultimate Rewards Points & Get $15 Off $60 [Works On Giftcards]
- Amazon $30 off $60 when Using MR Points, Works on Gift Cards [Targeted]
Stack well with the targeted promo from Citi to get a $30 statement credit when using your card for three $30 purchases – doing this deal and putting at least $30 on the Citi card will take care of one of those purchases.
F.A.Q’s
What can I buy?
Should work on everything shipped and sold by Amazon, other than Amazon & Visa gift cards. Some interesting options:
- Amazon Cyber Monday deals
- Amazon deals we’ve posted about on the site
- Amazon Devices Sale: Echo Dot From $19.99 & Other Discounted Devices
- Amazon: 1 Year PlayStation Plus Membership – $39.99
- Gift cards:
- Link to all physical gift cards on Amazon (scroll down to find the third party cards)
- Link to all electronic gift cards on Amazon (scroll down to find the third party cards)
How can I make myself eligible for this deal?
If you don’t have a registered ThankYou card, add the card and register that for shop with points. In the past, the way it’s worked is that you have to wait 24 hours from registering the card until the activation link will show up.
Do you need prime for this deal?
I don’t think so.
Can I use a gift card to pay with Shop-with-Points purchase?
Yes, we describe three separate methods to accomplish this in this dedicated post.
For those who it didn’t work. I fired up the chat at the Thank You rewards site and mentioned if there was a way I could qualify for the promo since it wasn’t working. They instantly gave me 2500 TY points to make up for it not working. Perhaps something you guys could try out, YMMV as always.
Thank you!
Just like the Chase offer that I was able to use yesterday, I was able to use the landing page to activate this offer.
I had linked both my Chase Freedom Unlimited and my Citi ThankYou Preferred cards about a week ago.
Bought 2x $50 Whole Foods gift cards. Shop there often.
Besides Amazon gift cards, VISA gift cards are also not available to be purchased with this offer.
.
Wow, this just worked for me after initially linking the accounts about a week ago & not getting it then. Thanks Doc!
Confirming this worked for me after I missed out the last time. T & C says December 6th to 2/28/2019 or 40,733 Offers redeeemed. Got Neftlix E-Gift Cards.
Didn’t work on two prime accounts. I had just used the 15 off 60 promotion on those accounts. One within 24 hours and the other one over a week ago.
Thanks DOC! The landing page worked for me this time. I had a $100 Amazon gift card from a previous deal. My total purchase after $15 Citi credit was $101.47, so $1.46 was charged to my Citi card and 1 Thank You point.
great worked thanks doc
Last time this promo came up, i wasn’t targeted. Clicking the link on this page works now for me. Was able to use one Citi TY point with my gift card balance from the earlier Hilton -> Amazon gift card deal to buy an airbnb gift card. Thanks DOC
worked for me at about 7pm Pacific Time to get $15 off 2x$50 Safeway gift cards using 1 TYP
It never works, why bother with these posts
Look at the comments, it clearly works for some people.
