Our Verdict
Nice little savings. This works out even better if you can stack it with the Shop With Points deal or Shop With Reward Dollars deal since you might anyway be paying with the Amex card for that.

Has Amazon ever done cash back offers like this? Not that I can recall.
Remember Amazon charges when it ships, so you may not want to wait for the last minute.
This works with the Amazon Balance reload. I added $50 to my Balance x3 and got $5 x 3 credits within a few days
Got it on both P1 and P2 cards. Nothing on Authorized cards.
i never see these offers, ever, in the list of 100 offers at Amex. i have the blue cash preferred card ($95 annual fee). Anyone know why?
Log into your account using a browser > In your main dashboard under “Amex Offers & Benefits” look to see if you have 100 Available Offers or Available (100)
If you do, start adding/activating offers (I add ones I know I won’t be using)
Log out of your account
Log back into your account
Check if your Available Offers have been replenished back to 100 with new offers.
I have a BCP and see the Amazon spend $30, get back $5 offer.
thanks so much for the detailed help. it’s being stubborn and wont give me that offer, but i will try again and in the future.
You have to add every offer to get every offer. It can only display 100 at a time, so you have to make room by adding even offers you have no interest in.
Had the $30 for $5 on both my Amex Green and Hilton Honors cards.
Have $30 version on BCE. Will reload 3x.
Do third-party gift cards work, e.g. Apple?
I don’t believe so and reckon that’s what they meant by excluding “corporate gift cards” in the fine print.
Maybe someone else can confirm, though.
Should be fine on third party and even Amazon gift cards (see DPs below). That corporate gift card language is usually for bulk gc purchases IIRC.
Timing is good for the upcoming Amazon Prime day in October.
Can we buy 2 $25 physical amazon gift cards to trigger this?
DP: in 3 separate orders, I purchased 2 $25, and 1 $50, and 1 $50 physical amazon gift cards. I received the $5 credit for all 3 orders.
