Our Verdict

We’ve posted many times about a similar offer for those with a linked Membership Rewards card. This new offer is for those with Blue Cash cards which earn Reward Dollars. I’ll link my Blue Cash card on Amazon to pay with points and then check back in a few days to see if I’m targeted for this deal.
