Amex Boosts Amazon Redemption Value with Targeted Bonus Offer

Amex cardholders have received an offer to boost their Amazon redemption value. To qualify for the deal, users must add it to an eligible American Express Membership Rewards card and make three separate $25 qualifying purchases by September 30, 2026.

The offer allows Spend 3,571 points for a $25 purchase and get 1,250 points back, up to three times. This raises the effective value above 1 cent per point. The bonus points are capped at 3,750 per cardholder, regardless of how many cards display the offer.

This redemption path is inferior to transferring points to airline partners for most travelers. However, for those holding excess points or planning Amazon purchases, it beats standard shopping redemptions.
