Our Verdict
Spend requirement is pretty small and discount code should be quite useful for a lot of people. I think it’s definitely worth doing if you can meet the minimum spend requirement and have use for the discount code (or can see yourself possibly having use in the future). Anybody know if it’s possible to transfer/trade the codes?

Anyone got the $75 code already?
If it’s like in the past, this promo is sent out within a couple months of one-year anniversary of having the card, and you’ll note it gives you something exactly equal in value to the annual fee you’ll soon have to pay. Most people in the past got it for cards that were just under one year old. I got mine in late spring of this year. I was able to do the spend quickly and have the $75 discount post quickly and so when my annual fee came due a month or two after the $75 discount posted, I was able to cancel the card no problem. But obviously they send ths out at that time to encourage people to keep the card essentially “for free” for another year.
One has to wonder if “Book Store”, may mean certain online book stores or not.. Here’s hoping!
I called in earlier today, and was told that Amazon probably won’t credit. Phone rep wasn’t totally sure, but it sounded like a no go in that respect.
Wish it could be combined with the companion pass.
