Amex Boosts Amazon Rewards with New Prime Day Offers
Amex has rolled out new targeted offers for Amazon shoppers, providing a boost to cardholders ahead of Prime Day. The most common offer seen is a $40 spend that earns 1,000 bonus Membership Rewards points, though some users have reported an alternative deal of $5 back after the same $40 purchase. Both offers can be repeated up to three times, making them a lucrative option for frequent Amazon buyers.
The deals are set to expire on December 5, 2026, and require enrollment. They are valid only for purchases made at amazon.com or through the Amazon app, with restrictions on international shipments and non-USD transactions. The 1,000 points earned are valued at roughly $15, offering a solid return on the $40 spend, though the value may diminish for larger purchases.
With Prime Day deals kicking off on October 6 and 7, these offers could be particularly useful for shoppers looking to maximize rewards. Even for larger purchases, cardholders could effectively earn an extra 10x points, making it a smart move to enroll in the offer before making any Amazon purchases.
